Rankin Inlet - Ilitaqsiniq Library

Rankin Inlet, Nunavut

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. (Government of Nunavut)
