Working in collaboration with the Kativik regional police corp. (which was established in 1995 and provides police services in the 14 communities of Nunavik) and the Nunavik center for justice, who will assist in finding participants for sharing circles, the project will seek to understand the cultural misunderstandings that tarnish relations between the police and the Inuit. It will provide concrete solutions to increase levels of confidence between the two. It will also examine the judicial context under which these relations exist, since many Inuit women do not fully understand the Canadian justice system. The project will also examine the Kativik regional police corp.’s practices regarding recruitment and retention.

To develop prediction tools for an objective risk assessment of marine hazards affecting recreational users of beaches and near shore waters. The research utilizes video and infrared cameras on beaches, near shore moorings, coastal radar system, and high-resolution wave model to establish statistics or run up and rip currents. Routine wave forecasts are used to assess the risk of dangerous run up and rip currents, including: -likelihood of encountering extreme waves on beaches -temporal and spatial distribution of wave run up and of rip currents -likelihood of unexpected run up -conditions for extreme deep water waves to transform into dangerous run up -extraction of these conditions from routine wave forecasts -effective monitoring of wave run up and rip currents These results, including routine warnings will be made available to the public and local partners via the Coast Smart initiative, helping the provide a safe experience for visitors to Canadian beaches.
