File Description:
Kangiqsujuaq is on the north coast of Quebec, 85 miles west of Quaqtaq and 125 miles east of Salluit, while across the Hudson Strait and 100 miles away on Baffin Island is Kimmirut. The town grew around two trading posts, the first opened by Revillon Freres in 1910, and the second by the Hudson Bay Company in 1914. A school was opened in 1960, and a clinic in 1961. The town was known as Wakeham Bay until 1961, and now has a population of around 700. The airport is to the south of the town and up on the hill at 511 feet ASL (this has been remeasured since 2004 and is now known to be 501). The gravel runway is just over 3,500 feet long and aligned 15/33; there is no PAPI, but there is fuel available, both 100LL and JetA. There are flights by Air Inuit.
