WKR is conducting baseline data collection programs to understand environmental conditions along the proposed Grays Bay Road and Port. These programs builds on the thousands of years of wisdom complied through the Kitikmeot Inuit Association's Naonaiyaotit Traditional Knowledge Project, 20 years of project-specific baseline studies, the research work of the Government of Nunavut and the Government of Northwest Territories, and many other contributors.
WKR's field program, which began in August 2024 and will be continuing to September 2025, includes a network of wildlife cameras to study the movement of caribou and other animals. This photo was taken in September 2024 approximately 40km east of the road route.
Our caribou field studies are led by EDI Environmental Dynamics Inc with support from Nunami Stantec Limited, Acasta HeliFlight Inc., and Blue Star Gold Corp.
