Taqpangajuk

Taqpangajuk was an attempted Inuit resettlement located at Singer Inlet, 40 km southwest of Killinq in Quebec, northeastern Canada. The settlement was created in the 1980s as part of a relocation programme from Killinq. Its forecast population in 2010 was 432 people.[1] In the winter of 1987, several displaced Killiniq families established a new community at Taqpangajuk without government assistance. However, the settlement failed, because of a lack of services and education, making it too difficult.
