Kugaaruk

Nunavut Parks completed a study for tourist attractions in Kugaaruk in the summer and fall of 2001. Information was collected from interviews with elders, past reports, and meetings with Kugaaruk Hamlet Council, the local Hunters and Trappers Organization, the Co-Op, and the community.

The Study makes several recommendations for attractions, including the development of a regional park, the improvement of community parks like the Fish Weir Park, environmental education, and outdoor education camp, and support for local tourist programs and packages.

The next steps in the development will be working with the Hamlet towards the establishment of a Tourism committee, oral histories and traditional knowledge studies. This information will help refine the recommendations from the study, quantify support for development, and describe how the attraction should be developed.
