Permits

It is recommended that visitors to Nunavut Territorial Parks travel with licensed local guides and outfitters. All visitors should inform themselves about bear warning systems and deterrents such as pistol and pen launched ‘bear bangers’, bear spray, noisemakers, and air horns. Use of firearms is not encouraged. Check with Nunavut Park staff for regulations governing carrying and using firearms.

If you are interested in carrying a firearm in a territorial park, you must download and complete the appropriate permitting package:
