Baker Lake, Nunavut – November 10, 2026 – Agnico Eagle is proud to announce a new four-year sponsorship agreement with the Baker Lake Youth Athletic Association (BLYAA), providing $30,000 annually to support youth participation in sport.

The funding will help keep registration fees minimal for approximately 70 athletes participating in six different sports with both male and female teams and support travel opportunities that allow local athletes to attend competitions and tournaments throughout the year.

“On behalf of the Baker Lake Youth Athletic Association, I am very excited to share that Agnico Eagle is partnering with us to help relieve some of the financial burden of fundraising for youth sports,” said Olivia Tapatai, President, Baker Lake Youth Athletic Association. “Every year, our association spends roughly $70,000 on registration and travel fees for athletes to compete at territorial competitions, the Arctic Winter Games, the Canada Summer Games and training camps. This funding partnership will help us continue sending our hardworking athletes to advance their skills without placing a large financial burden on their families. We are grateful for the support of our coaches, volunteers, schools, the District Education Authority and the entire community, and we are happy to add Agnico Eagle to this list of invaluable supporters.”

“No young person should miss out on the opportunity to participate in sport because of financial barriers,” said Manon Turmel, Superintendent of Community Relations and Communications, Agnico Eagle. “The Baker Lake Youth Athletic Association and its dedicated volunteers invest countless hours harnessing opportunities for youth to learn, grow, and challenge themselves through sport. We are proud to support their work and help make these opportunities accessible to more families in Baker Lake.”

The partnership was celebrated during an event held at Jonah Amitnaaq Secondary School, bringing together athletes, coaches, volunteers, and representatives from Agnico Eagle.
