National park projects in Nunavik

On April 9, 2002, the Makivik Corporation, the Kativik Regional Government (KRG), and the gouvernement du Québec signed the Entente Sanarrutik, a partnership agreement on the economic and community development of Nunavik. This agreement provides for the creation of five national parks. Since the signing of the Entente Sanarrutik, four have been completed: des Pingualuit (in French only), Ulittaniujalik (in French only), Kuururjuaq (in French only) and Tursujuq (in French only).

The Ministère is currently working on creating two other national parks in Nunavik:

• Baie-aux-Feuilles (in French only)
• Iluiliq (in French only)
