18 February 2022
The Nunavut Impact Review Board (NIRB) has notified KIA that the Grays Bay Road and Port Project (GBRP) review begun in 2018 and being conducted under the Nunavut Planning and Project Assessment Act has been terminated effective February 16, 2022.
This procedural step is automatically required by the legislation because the NIRB review has not advanced since the original project description was submitted, and the review was paused in May of 2018 at the request of KIA. The NIRB had no choice in this matter.
KIA work on the review was delayed by project management changes, the need to complete full project financing, and by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Kitikmeot Inuit Association remains fully committed to the Grays Bay Road and Port Project and intends to re-submit a new project description soon.
For any enquiries please contact: Paul Emingak, KIA Executive Director at: execdir@kitia.ca
