About the Community
On the west coast of Hudson Bay in Nunavut Territory, Chesterfield Inlet has many historic sites to discover. The community has been a permanently settled area since 1910, making it one of the oldest Inuit settlements in the Hudson Bay region. A place of interest is a Thule site nearby where ancient Inuit tent rings and animal traps are still visible.
Activities in Chesterfield Inlet include daylong sports fishing expeditions, Beluga whale watching, boating trips, wildlife watching, and hiking. Self-guided walking tours of Chesterfield Inlet encourage people to learn more about the community’s history.
