Description of the Existing EnvironmentThe Plan recognizes the economic, and associated social, benefits that the use of renewable andnon-renewable resources can bring; and also cites the need to minimize negative effects forpeople and wildlife, and the environment.6.3.4.2 Subsistence Harvest ActivitiesThe traditional subsistence economy includes hunting, trapping, fishing and gathering. Hunting,fishing and the gathering of plants and berries provide dietary contributions to residents and theirfamilies, while trapping activities primarily result in pelts for sale, personal use, and crafts.The Project, including the shipping route, falls within the traditional Areas of Influence (Areas ofInfluence encompass broad areas of land and sea which are included in traditional land usepatterns by community members) of the communities of Kingaok/Omingmaktok, and CambridgeBay, as detailed by the West Kitikmeot Regional Land Use Plan.Subsistence activities are actively practiced by a significant proportion of the Kitikmeotpopulation. The 2001 Aboriginal People’s Survey (Statistics Canada, 2001) reports thatapproximately 50-60% of residents (aged 15 years and older) in Kugluktuk, Cambridge Bay andGjoa Haven reported hunting activity in the previous twelve months; nearly all of theseincidences were for food. Fishing was an even more popular pursuit, with participation by 70-76% of residents, also primarily for consumption. The prevalence of gathering activities showedthe greatest degree of variation, from 15% in Cambridge Bay, to 63% in Kugluktuk.The Western Kitikmeot Regional Land Use Plan also recognizes the importance of traditionalactivities for the lifestyle and diet of many residents. Nearly a third (31%) of residents reporteating caribou meat daily or almost daily, while only 16% report eating it rarely or never (TheConference Board of Canada, ctd. in NPC, 2004). Other country foods include fish, seal,ptarmagin and musk ox. An estimated 1,000-1,500 kg of hunting products, including meat andfish, are harvested by each hunter every year, with an estimated replacement value of $10,000-15,000 per hunter annually (WKRLUP, 2005).Wildlife HarvestsDetailed information regarding participation in traditional activities for residents of Kingaok,Omingmaktok and Cambridge Bay is drawn from the Nunavut Wildlife Harvest Survey(NWMB, 2004). Conducted between 1996 and 2001, this survey remains the mostcomprehensive study of subsistence (commercial harvests were not included in this study)wildlife use throughout Nunavut, and includes the hunting, trapping, gathering and fishing ofmammals, birds (and their eggs and feathers), fish and shellfish. Among large game, theimportance of caribou is evident, with an annual average of seven to nine animals harvested perhunter. Wolverine harvest is also of noted importance, particularly to residents of Kingaok,Omingmaktok and Kugluktuk (NWMB, 2004).For the purposes of the Nunavut Wildlife Harvest Survey, “hunter” has been defined as someonewho is a beneficiary of the NLCA, who is 16 years of age or older, and who participates inhunting, fishing or trapping of animals at any time during the year. Approximately 17-18hunters were registered annually in Kingaok; three were classified as intensive land users, four asJanuary 2008 Hackett River Project – Project Proposal Sabina Silver CorporationReport Version B.1 6–29 Rescan Environmental Services Ltd.
