Rankin Inlet 2013
Rankin Inlet, or Kangiqtiniq (“deep bay/inlet” in Inuktitut) is the
business and transportation hub of the Kivalliq region. Rankin is the gateway to Nunavut from Central and Western Canada. Due to the large volume of traffic through the area, as well as a history of regional government, mining and exploration, Rankin
Inlet has developed a strong taskforce of entrepreneurs. Freight expediters, equipment suppliers and outfitters can provide tourists and companies interested in doing business in the area
with a wide variety of services. The Ijiraliq (Meliadine) River Territorial Historic Park is a favorite spot for hiking, fishing and bird watching. Archaeological sites, such as the European whaler
shipwreck near Marble Island and the Thule site in the Ijiraliq River area provide glimpses into a remarkable past.
Getting there: Flights to Rankin Inlet are operated by First Air and Canadian North on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays. It is possible to reach Rankin Inlet in one day from either Ottawa/Montreal--
via Iqaluit, or Edmonton/Calgary--via Yellowknife. Kivalliq Air operates flights every day of the week
except Saturday from Winnipeg to Rankin Inlet, with a stop in Churchill; Calm Air flies to Rankin Inlet
from Monday to Saturday, with stops in Churchill and Arviat. Please check with appropriate airlines for
scheduled changes.
