Grays Bay Impact Statement passes NIRB conformity review

WKR is pleased to announce that the Nunavut Impact Review Board has issued a positive Conformity Determination for the Impact Statement of the Grays Bay Road and Port Project.

This decision confirms that the 8,000-page Impact Statement conforms to NIRB's Final Scope and Guidelines, issued in January.

All 12 volumes of the Impact Statement are available for download at westkit.ca/file-downloads and on NIRB's public registry.

The next step in the NIRB process is for parties (such as Indigenous and public governments, non-governmental organizations, and other stakeholders) to send WKR Information Requests. NIRB has set a deadline of June 5, 2026 for these requests.

Congratulations to Gavin Law, Elaine Little, and Dave Brescia for their leadership in reaching this milestone, and thanks to Kelli Gillard and all the Board members and staff at NIRB for their diligence.
