traditional way of life, spent a night in the un-serviced
log cabin of the Parc national des Grands-Jardins and
experienced the park’s nature and history programs for
young people. In Tadoussac, Mers et Monde Ecotours and
Ferme 5 Etoiles taught them how to plan and prepare a
kayak excursion and how to present animals and their
habitats to visitors.
Along with the tour guide training, a number of
Unaaq’s other activities are helping to create the foundation
for a future tourism service. Various kinds of
hunting excursions, navigation skills upgrades and wilderness
first aid training are equipping Inukjuammiut to
take tourists out on the land. Unaaq is also helping the
revival of dog teaming among the youth of Inukjuak.
This could make it possible to offer visitors yet another
kind of experience. In August 2013, Unaaq, with funding
from KRG, arranged Endurance Aventure training
programs in rock climbing and kayaking. Unaaq has
purchased two high quality plastic kayaks and made
four traditionally designed kayaks, and plans to increase
this fleet in preparation for mounting kayak excursions.
Recognizing that the expense of travelling to
Nunavik is a barrier to Inukjuak tourism, Unaaq plans
to target local tourists such as the teachers, nurses, doctors
and government employees, as well as others who
travel frequently to the community.
