Operation NANOOK 11

is a two part operation.
Part one:

• A sovereignty and presence patrolling operation
• Conducted from 4 to 20 August, 2011 on Cornwallis Island and at sea in Davis Strait, Baffin Bay and Lancaster Sound
• Includes the participation of our international partners from the United States and Denmark

Part two:

• A Canadian whole-of-government exercise
• Includes a simulated major air disaster conducted in the vicinity of Resolute Bay, NU
• Includes a simulated maritime emergency exercise conducted in the Strathcona Sound, NU area of northern Baffin Island

Operation NANOOK 11 will involve more than 1100 participants from the Canadian Forces Navy, Army, Air and Special Forces. In addition, over 100 personnel from other participating countries will take part.

Edited following the above post. The coincidence is ironic, but hopefully helpful to any survivors.
