QIA gives money to Sanikiluaq enviro group

The Qikiqtani Inuit Association will donate $17,500 to the Nunavuummi Tasiujarjuamiuguqatigiit Katutjiqatigiingit group, which is studying the environmental impact of a proposed new hydroelectric project planned for the Eastmain and Rupert rivers in northern Quebec.

Also known as the Hudson Bay Inter-Agency Working Group, the committee is worried that the damming of rivers emptying into Hudson Bay will affect water temperatures and wildlife.
