Makkovik Community Visit - October 4, 2024


Challenges Opportunities
  • Inadequate recycling programs
  • Unplanned fires and air quality
  • Debris and wildlife management (e.g., wind blown debris, odours)
  • Proximity to the ocean
  • Community engagement and education
  • Physical and logistical barriers (bedrock at the landfill)
  • Enhanced recycling programs (e.g., tire, oil, e-waste)
  • Mitigation measures at the landfill (e.g., fences to prevent wind blown debris & reduce unplanned burns)
  • Community education and engagement
