QIA has been examining different approaches to managing the IOL Beach land in Iqaluit.
After documenting the site and its planning context, we are now engaging directly with representatives of key stakeholder groups about how they use the beach and their experiences and what they think are key considerations that need to be addressed in managing the Beach IOL. We will summarize our findings in a report to prepare a management plan for the beach.
What type of beach management plan is QIA considering?
QIA has gathered general information about the beach land and the importance of that land to Inuit. We have begun to explore alternative scenarios for the beach lands based on initial conversations. Now we are seeking more input from stakeholders about their own experiences and what they think are important factors to consider in managing the Beach IOL in the future.
Six scenarios have been developed, described and illustrated with generic images. The scenarios are:
- Light Management – QIA would activity monitor and clean the beach and remove unsafe and unlocked shacks and unowned equipment.
- Active Management – QIA would work with existing shack owners to move or build new shacks within an allocated footprint.
- Management and Lot Placements – Introduce design and construction guidelines for replacement of harvesting shacks over time on sites set out by QIA.
- Build Harvesting Shacks – QIA designs, builds, installs and maintains harvesting shacks. This would replace existing shacks.
- Seasonal Clearance – All existing structures would be removed. Structures and boats supporting Inuit harvesting and cultural activities would be allowed on site, but the area would be cleared at least twice a year of all private shacks and boats.
- Continue As Is – QIA would continue passive monitoring and occasional maintenance. Beneficiaries will be asked to contact QIA prior to placing a shack, boat or other item on the beach.
