Raglan Agreement
The Raglan Agreement, signed in 1995, was the first Impact Benefit Agreement (IBA) in Canada to be negotiated and signed directly between a mining company and the Aboriginal group that would be ultimately effected by the mining operation. Raglan Mine The Raglan mine is located in Nunavik, Quebec’s northernmost region. There has been exploration of the Nunavik Region’s mineral resources since the early 1930s. It was not until the 1990s, with an upswing in the global mineral market, that a real and concerted effort to explore arctic Quebec’s resources began. In 1992 a feasibility study of the future Raglan mine was conducted with positive results. Between 1992 and 1995 negotiations between the interested Inuit parties of Nunavik and the Mining company (Falconbridge Ltd) Canadian representatives began. The Raglan Agreement was signed in January 1995. On signing, construction began on the facilities of the Raglan Mine. The actual mining operations began at the end of 1997. While ...

Deception Bay, Quebec
Salluit ( iu, ᓴᓪᓗᐃᑦ, "the thin ones") is the second northernmost Inuit community in Quebec, Canada, located on Sugluk Inlet close to the Hudson Strait and was formerly known as Sugluk. Its population was 1,483 in the Canada 2016 Census and the population centre had 1,075 people. It is not accessible by road, but by air through Salluit Airport. Salluit means "The Thin Ones" in Inuktitut, referring to a time when local inhabitants were facing starvation as a result of a lack of wildlife. History In 1925, an independent trader opened a trading post on the site of present-day Salluit. Not to be outdone, the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) quickly established its own post on the far shore of Sugluk Inlet but relocated it soon after to Deception Bay, about to the east. In 1930, the HBC built a store at present-day Salluit and closed its post at Deception Bay in 1932. The golden years of fur trading came to an end around 1936 when the price of pelts collapsed.
