Sirmilik National Park

Qausuittuq National Park

Quttinirpaaq National Park

Ukkusiksalik National Park

Long before these areas received federal protection, Inuit lived, harvested and travelled these lands and waters. Many staff have connections to these places through their families and ancestors.

To this day, harvesting and use by Inuit remain a protected right under the Nunavut Agreement. For further information on the organization, please visit the Parks Canada website.
