Contaminated Sites DirectorateOur RoleThe Contaminated Sites directorate manages contaminated sites located on Crown land in Nunavut that fall under Indian and Northern Affairs Canada’s control. We identify waste/contaminated sites located on Crown land for which the department is liable; assess environmental impacts, clean up and manage contaminated sites on a priority basis, provide advice to Northerners, and circulate educational material concerning contaminated sites. There are a number of sites in Nunavut under other federal control such as the Department of National Defense. To fulfill these responsibilities, we work with many partners including the Nunavut Planning Commission, the Nunavut Impact Review Board, the Nunavut Water Board, the Government of Nunavut, and Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated. We also partner with regulatory agencies including Environment Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and Health Canada. Our Activities
