The search continues in Kangiqsujuaq for a 60-year-old man who was reported missing last week.
The man was last seen walking on the airport road but the exact date of that sighting is unknown, said Nunavik Police Service deputy Chief Jean-Francois Morin in an email.
Morin declined to identify the man.
Searches began Oct. 17, a day after the man was reported missing.
Local volunteers, Canadian Rangers and chartered aircraft have been assisting with the search, Morin said.
“Helicopter was unable to assist until today due to the weather in Wakeham Bay,” he said.
A helicopter from Nunavik Rotors Inc. was helping with searches on Tuesday, Morin added.
I don’t think Nunavik police have any skills what so ever to search on land for missing people just not skilled to do so
Maybe read the article :

The Popo doesn’t do it alone.
The only thing correct in this comment is the first three words of it.
Well maybe the town people should be out there helping, police and there recourses im sure could be much more appreciated solving ctime. Let search and rescue do it.
Umm.. Nunavik police report missing but decline to say who is missing . I’m sure if they report name it would help public to know who is deed missing .
Declined to provide name? Thats like going on public to say someone is missing but at same time like, find out the name on your own, like hey! Inuit lives matter!! Giving the name of a missing person will at least let everyone know that to whom may be concerned of the disappearance!
I hope they find that person safe and sound!!
Excuse me my language is not that great
does not identify the name, how can they not provide name?, why say decline to identify the name?
How are they going to search without a name?! makes no sense…
Let Inuit themselves search the unidentified person by some what NP Police
Everyone knows he”s our member
By not providing a name says a lot about how the chief of police is exercising his misunderstanding of inuit culture. He has much confusion. As providing the name is his interpretation of insulting inuit, and he knows even common sense that providing the name has only helpful connotation, yet he’s confused. I believe standard police procedures are to provide the name as only being helpful. Like you see some one out there on airport road or outside of town, you must know his name, otherwise ask him his name , and then ask him if hes lost, and you’ll not result in put the correct conclusion on whether its him or not? Interesting police work in a confused police department if you ask me. Hey whats your name. I wont ask loudly in case your relatives hears, but is that you thats lost?
Guess who’s missing. What’s his name ? Whats he look like? Can only get one clue: hes 60 , i think. Height? Weight? Whats he wear? Any medical history? A no name person is missing. Secret i think said the police, as they didn’t give the name. So we look for guess who. So now its guess who gone guess where. For guess why.
