Air Service to Taloyoak
About Taloyoak
Located in Nunavut, Taloyoak—formerly known as Spence Bay—is one of the northernmost mainland communities in Canada, situated on the Boothia Peninsula along the shores of the Arctic Ocean, approximately 2,200 kilometres north of Winnipeg.
With a population of roughly 1,100 residents, Taloyoak is a predominantly Inuit community with a strong cultural identity rooted in Inuit language, traditions, and a deep connection to the land and sea. The name “Taloyoak” means “large caribou hunting blind,” reflecting the community's longstanding relationship with traditional hunting practices.
The area has a rich history of Inuit habitation and is located near sites connected to early Arctic exploration, adding historical significance to the region.
Like many Arctic communities, Taloyoak relies on air service year-round, with seasonal sealift providing additional access for bulk goods during the summer months.
