NUNAVUT
Security Services Across
Nunavut.
Nunavut is the most challenging security market in Canada — driven by extreme distance, limited officer supply, and a >85% Inuit majority. Any operator here must be able to deliver community-partnered service — non-negotiable.
PROVINCIAL LICENSING
Nunavut security regulations administered under the Justice Department
Security service delivery in Nunavut is regulated through the territorial Department of Justice. Given the territory’s small commercial market, officer supply and licensing pathways are unique in Canada — most engagements are project-specific and coordinated with Inuit community leadership.
Police-of-jurisdiction across Nunavut: RCMP (V-Division) — the sole police service across Nunavut. Every Nunavut scope we deliver is coordinated with the applicable police service — municipal, provincial, or RCMP — as the situation requires.
Baseline officer wage floor in Nunavut: $28.00–$45.00 per hour with fly-in and Arctic-condition premiums. Rates vary by post complexity, shift pattern, licensing tier, and geographic remoteness.

CHALLENGES
What makes Nunavut different
Fly-in-only communities mean routine logistics that would be trivial elsewhere become complex.
Baffinland Iron Mines and Agnico Eagle Meliadine are the two dominant enterprise clients.
Officer supply is genuinely limited — every scope must plan officer transport and accommodation carefully.
