Crime data for Nanisivik, Nunavut.
Updated Data year 2025Source: Statistics Canada, police-reported crimeFrançais
Statistics Canada publishes crime figures by police service. No police service reports under the name of Nanisivik: its crimes are counted with a larger area, such as a regional or provincial police detachment. We don't repeat that area's figures here, because they are not Nanisivik's own.

Crime Canada is not a law firm. We pass your request to an independent criminal defence lawyer, who contacts you directly. General information, not legal advice. How this works


Nunavut, Canada
Nanisivik is a now-abandoned company town which was built in 1975 to support the lead-zinc mining and mineral processing operations for the Nanisivik Mine, in production between 1976 and 2002. The townsite is located just inland from Strathcona Sound, about 20 km (12 mi) east of the community of Arctic Bay in the Canadian territory of Nunavut.
