Ennadai is a formerly populated place in the Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, Canada. Located on a peninsula that juts into northeastern Ennadai Lake it faces an unnamed island. It is 400 km (250 mi) northwest of Churchill, Manitoba and 1,050 km (650 mi) west of Arviat.[2][self-published source] Ennadai and the surrounding area has been the traditional home of the Ahiarmiut (Ihalmiut), a Caribou Inuit band.
The Ennadai Lake Meteorological Aeronautical Presentation System, a former weather station at this locale, consisted of four buildings.[2] The Royal Canadian Corps of Signals operated a base, Ennadai Lake Radio Station, (VEJ) at Ennadai from the summer of 1949 until 18 September 1954 when it was turned over to the Department of Transportation.[3] An INCO Exploration Camp existed at Ennadai at about the same time.
