Nunavik Geomatics Proposal Accepted
Late last June, a proposal submitted to LOOKNorth (a national
Centre of Excellence for Commercialization and Research) from
Nunavik Geomatics to investigate
the current state of remote
sensing for marine mammal monitoring
in Canada’s Arctic region was
accepted. LOOKNorth’s technology
validation program promotes the
implementation of remote sensing
technologies for sustainable
development of Canada’s northern
natural resources and oil
sands. Makivik VP for Economic
Development, Michael Gordon,
is the president of Nunavik
Geomatics —a Makivik subsidiary
company.
Marine transport is expected
to increase due to increased
resource development, which
means that marine mammal
monitoring requirements will
also increase. Traditional ecological
knowledge and scientific
knowledge will be combined to assess and evaluate the various
remote-sensing technologies that already exist or will be developed.

1,000-Kilometre
Bicycle Challenge
Students from four schools in
Nunavik earned a trip down to
help welcome the cyclists of the
1,000-kilometre Défi Pierre Lavoie
bicycle rally on June 17, 2012. Two
of the team members to cross the
finish line were Jonathan Simard,
age 15, and Lucassie Tukkiapik, age
16 (third and fourth from left in the
photo). One of the main goals for
the Pierre Lavoie competition is to
encourage a “healthier body and
living for today’s youth.” It is hoped
other young Nunavimmiut will be inspired by Nunavik’s participation
in this distinguished event. Congratulations also go to the parents and
other team members who supported our Nunavik participants during
this challenge.
