I believe Ungava Bay is in Nunavik not Nunavut

http://www.nunavik-travelguide.com/Ungava-Bay/ :
"Located in northeastern Nunavik, the Ungava Bay is shaped like a funnel. At its mouth, the bay is 265 km wide. The rest of the bay is about 180 km wide. Covered with ice from November to June, this bay, along with the Fundy Bay in New Brunswick, is the place where one can observe the highest tides in the world. Six villages share the Ungava Bay territory: Quaqtaq, Kangirsuk, Aupaluk, Tasiujaq, Kuujjuaq et Kangiqsualujjuaq.

All these villages live off traditional activities, but also off ecotourism. The rivers and lakes make this territory a dreamed place for fishers who like Arctic charr. Polar bears and walruses are very popular here since they migrate on the ice floes located nearby. Once again, archaeological remnants are important and nature dominates in this area. While Kuujuaq is an administrative centre, Kangigsualujjuaq, which is the most populated village, is preparing to welcome visitors to the parc national Kuururjuaq in 2008."
