Upgrade to new SPOT devices 

The Government of Nunavut is upgrading to a new SPOT device. The Generation 1 SPOT units are being replaced by new Generation 3 units. 

The Generation 3 SPOT units are active and are available to use in: 

• Arctic Bay 
• Baker Lake 
• Cambridge Bay 
• Cape Dorset 
• Chesterfield Inlet 
• Clyde River 
• Coral Harbour 
• Gjoa Haven 
• Grise Fiord 
• Pond Inlet

As of June 22, 2018, old Generation 1 SPOT devices will be deactivated in these communities. 

SPOT devices in remaining Nunavut communities will continue to be active and safe to use. They will be replaced at a later date. 

SPOT units should always be returned after your trip. For more information, please contact the Nunavut Emergency Management office at 867-975-5322 or @email.
