The team will visit and overnight in Coral Harbour, Hall Beach, Puvirnituq, Kuujjuaq and the Raglan mine in order to conduct a series of airfield infrastructure assessments. According to a news release from the force, the tour will provide valuable information needed to operate aircraft in Canada’s northern communities.

“Acknowledging rising international interest in the Arctic, our ability to succeed in such an unpredictable and complex security environment requires an increased presence over the long-term,” the release states.
