  • This comment is a summary of the feedback and insights generated from our team, and during our independent community engagement sessions, and is being submit on behalf of the AnânauKatiget Tumingit Regional Inuit Women’s Association.?  The first step in any engagement and consultation must be relationship building. Proponents and the Agency should try to introduce themselves and initiate a dialogue with communities, before launching formal engagements and consultation. This allows community members to express their capacity needs, cultural expectations, and preferred engagement style before being formally engaged with.

  • Airports and the aviation industry kill a lot of animals.  USDA and Transport Canada created these policies, not humane organizations.  Airports kill a lot of wildlife, including cormorants.   ?Some Airplane manufacturers test their airplane safety by killing birds and shooting their bodies into simulators, or by forcing live birds into simulators for bird impact testing.  There are non animal alternatives.  I am shocked by the cruelty that goes on in the aircraft industry.  https://tc.canada.ca/en/aviation/publications/sharing-skies-guide-management-wildlife-hazards-tp-13549/chapter-12-solutions-airframe-engine-manufacturers Please bear in mind that the laws only mandate wildlife management.  No law exists to mandate killing.  All documents on wildlife management are simply policies and guidelines.   They recommend fumigating, gassing, drugging, and poisoning animals.  They even recommend catching and ...

  • Hi Folks,              Long overdue in my opinion.My first flights into the current Nain(CYDP) airstrip werein 1992 .There are many operators and Pilots I believe who would share the same vision.My first views was that it was a scenic area with much potential for development.ie:Mining-Voisey Bay  and the Beautiful Torngat Regions,multiple bays and islands,hunting and fishing  at weekend getaways. My Pilot lense saw something quite different as it was a very short airstrip with obstacles on,arrival(Water on one end and Hils on the other) landing and departures and all within uncontrolled airspace.ie:My first Chief Pilot said to me"Never a left turn after departure when departing on westward until above the hills"The climb out thru the valley while overflying the town of Nain using the updraft for climb performance during the warmer summer days with the prevailing winds is and probably still quite common and I ...
