Iqaluit, Nunavut, August 9, 2024 – The Qikiqtani Inuit Association (QIA) and Baffinland Iron Mines Corp. (Baffinland) are pleased to be hosting the Mary River Project Annual Project Review Forum in Igloolik on September 10, 11 and 12, 2024 at the Community Hall. This event is a negotiated benefit in the Inuit Impact Benefit Agreement (IIBA).
The Annual Project Review Forum is an opportunity to discuss project-related issues from the Mary River Project on the five communities. It is a venue for community representatives to provide comments to QIA and Baffinland on environmental impacts, mitigation and monitoring plans, and to provide recommendations for overall project improvement.
The QIA Community Directors and selected Elders and Youth from the five communities of Pond Inlet, Arctic Bay, Clyde River, Sanirajak and Igloolik will be delegates at this meeting. Residents of Igloolik are welcome to come and listen to the meeting. IIBA Implementation staff from both QIA and Baffinland will be in attendance to make presentations and received feedback.
Once the Annual Project Review Forum is concluded, QIA and Baffinland will compile comments and recommendations into a report for public information. It will be available by the end of December, 2024 online at www.qia.ca and www.baffinland.com .
