Good afternoon Sophia, 
 
As the chairman of the Baker Lake Hunters and Trappers organization, I spoke with our 
Manager along with the Board of Directors about inviting the Nunavut Impact Review Board 
staff to have a Community Consultation about NIRB file 11EN010 Extension request for the 
Amaruq Exploration Access Road. 
 
We, the Board and Staff of the Baker Lake Hunters and Trappers feel that there should be a 
Community Consultation to be held in the Community of Baker Lake to educate and answer 
questions from our Membership as this will have effects on wildlife and environment that our 
hunters depend on.  As we`re already experiencing a major impact due to the existing Agnico 
Eagle Meadowbank All Weather Private Access Road linking the community and Meadowbank 
minesite. 
 
We`re asking NIRB to come to the community between the dates of Sept 8th to Sept 11th. 
 
Also asking the Nunavut Impact Review Board to allow an extension on the deadline for 
comments feedback from organizations? 
 
Thanks in advance and looking to work with NIRB board and staff on this important issue for the 
members of Baker Lake. 
 
Richard Aksawnee 
Chairman 
Baker Lake Hunters and Trappers
