The Parks and Special Places Division is responsible for planning, establishment, management, operation and promotion of Mirnguiqsirviit–Nunavut’s territorial parks and special places.

Nunavut’s parks and special places are important destinations and attractions for Nunavummiut and our visitors. They showcase our rich natural and cultural heritage locally, regionally, nationally and internationally; strengthen and support local Inuit culture and communities through promotion and development of land-based activities; and stimulate pursuit of traditional activities.

Parks and Special Places are planned and managed jointly with co-management partners, through the Umbrella Inuit Impact and Benefits Agreement for Territorial Parks in the Nunavut Settlement Area and the Nunavut Agreement, and are founded on sound and comprehensive resource information, Inuit Societal Values, local and scientific knowledge, and current technological and geospatial information
