The Nunavik Marine Region Planning Commission (NMRPC) is an Institution of Public Government (IPG) mandated to develop the Nunavik Marine Region Marine Use Plan (NMRMUP) for the Nunavik Marine Region (NMR) in accordance with the Nunavik Inuit Land Claims Agreement (NILCA) and the planning principles, policies, priorities and objectives established by the NMRPC.
Devoted to protecting and promoting the existing and future well-being off Nunavik Inuit and communities in and using the Nunavik Marine Region.
Our head office is located in Kuujjuaq, Nunavik, Quebec; one of 14 Nunavik communities. Our organization supports the sustainable use and development of a marine area used by over 10,000 Nunavik Inuit and another 4,000 Nunavik Residents; collectively referred to as Nunavimmiut, or People of Nunavik.
The NMRPC factors in economic opportunities, community needs, cultural priorities, environmental protection and integrity of the NMR into the development and implementation of a marine use plan, but generally as well in all of its activities and decisions.
Region
The Nunavik Inuit Land Claims Agreement (NILCA) came into effect on July 10, 2007. It applies to the offshore region around Québec, Northern Labrador, and offshore Northern Labrador.

Today we observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It is a day to recognize the harms that were done by residential schools; to honour and listen to survivors; to remember and pay tribute to those who didn’t come home, and to think about what reconciliation looks like today and in the years to come.

Since January we’ve been visiting communities to speak with elders, knowledge holders, and marine use experts to gather their valuable input through a survey we designed. This was part of our marine planning process for what will ultimately be our Marine Use Plan. We wrapped up our last community visit, and we are working on a public survey to release soon so we wanted to share what exactly marine planning is, because some people might not know. Simply put, marine planning is a process for managing ocean spaces. It involves identifying where and when marine uses should take place to avoid conflicts, maximize benefits, and balance development with environmental protection. Marine planning also provides a tool for identifying objectives for marine spaces and how to achieve them.
An important part of marine planning is that it is open and participatory. That means it brings together rights holders, users of the marine environment, and different levels of government to identify and work towards shared objectives. Engagement can include informing (for example, sharing updates on social media), consulting (for example, surveys, like we did), and involvement (for example, working groups).
We will share more updates about the survey in the next while, so stay tuned.

Our team is in Kuujjuaq with the Marine Planning Strategy Survey! Join us in our office (Landholdings Building, 1140 Immirtavik Road, second floor) starting this afternoon until May 16. We want to meet with people who use the saltwater and islands of the Nunavik Marine Region. As a thank you, we’re giving Co-op gift cards to the knowledge holders who fill out the survey.

Thank you to everyone who has joined us to complete a Marine Planning Strategy Survey! We have enjoyed visiting Chisasibi and communities across Nunavik. We will be wrapping up our travels in Kuujjuaq May 13-16. Did we visit your community, and you didn’t get a chance to join us? We want to hear from you! More to come…
