Rivière-Koksoak unfolds along one of the North’s great waterways, where wide tidal reaches meet tundra horizons and the aurora often steals the evening sky. Life here orbits the river’s seasons—canoeing and fishing under endless summer light, then snowmobiling, dogsledding, and star-filled nights in winter. Daily needs and cultural life are anchored in nearby Kuujjuaq, the region’s service hub, supported by the Kativik Regional Government and a calendar that celebrates Inuit traditions, language, and land-based activities. For weekend adventures, the dramatic valleys and Torngat views of Kuururjuaq National Park are a standout, with trip planning made easy through Nunavik Tourism.
Families appreciate strong educational support from Kativik Ilisarniliriniq, which operates schools across Nunavik, including elementary-to-secondary options in Kuujjuaq. Health and social services are coordinated by the Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services, with primary and specialized care accessible via regional facilities and medevac links through Kuujjuaq Airport. Community-focused organizations and local co-ops sustain a friendly, practical lifestyle that makes settling in both straightforward and rewarding.
Economic development and cultural stewardship are championed by the Makivik Corporation, while smaller communities like Tasiujaq add to the river’s network of welcoming neighbors. Whether you’re drawn by river fishing for Arctic char, the crisp clarity of winter, or the close-knit feel of northern village life, Rivière-Koksoak offers a singular place to put down roots.
