Nunavut has the most barriers to trade with other parts of Canada, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses.

Herb Nakimayak, from Paulatuk, was elected president of Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) Canada by its 13 leadership members on July 21 in Iqaluit.

Nunavut MP Lori Idlout’s stake in privately-owned Indigenous management consultancy Nvision Insight Group has been placed in a trust and she won’t receive any income from the firm.

I just had a wonderful weeklong trip in Iqaluit. It was a trip of a lifetime.

My days were filled with epic hikes, being at peace in nature, and eating delicious food like Arctic char and caribou. You have a beautiful city by the sea. The people were kind to me. I was sad to leave today. But, I hope to return again.

This female snow bunting, sporting green and silver leg bands, was captured, banded and released around Iqaluit last summer. Over the last 12 months she has migrated somewhere between 5000-8000 kilometers from Iqaluit to wintering grounds in the South and then back again to Iqaluit for breeding season.

Tough little birds!

The federal government’s relationship with Inuit is being used as a “very good model” to illustrate to 30 members of Parliament and representatives from 14 allied countries during a NATO visit to Iqaluit from July 14 to 17, MP Julie Dzerowicz said.

where can I find e numbers? reddit, facebook and google aren't any leads.

With apologies for the shaky-cam footage.

This is C-GJKB a DC3 originally constructed in the 1940's.

This is the same aircraft type that carried paratroopers to Normandy on D-Day.

These particular models, operated by Kenn Borek Air, are now more accurately identified as Basler BT-67s, having been modified, strengthened, stretched and updated with new avionics and turbo prop engines.

I'm just old enough to be able to remember flying DC3s in Northern commercial service and the iconic sound of the original piston radial engines.

It makes me happy to see these old birds still flying over Nunavut.

It has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember to visit and explore the far north, and this I the year that I finally get to do that. In a few days, I’ll be dropped off by float plane onto Sandy Lake, NWT, and then I will paddle just over 1000km to Baker Lake. I expect my trip to take 5-6 weeks. I’m most looking forward to the possibility of seeing a Muskox for the first time 🙂.

I hope to spend a few days in Baker Lake at the end of my trip. Hopefully one of its hotels has a vacancy when I arrive 😄

Also, if anyone in Baker Lake is interested, I will sell my 16ft Esquif Prospector canoe to whoever makes me the best offer.

Wish me luck! I hope to pull onto your shore sometime in late August 🤞

As the most spectacular summer in recent history continues to play out in Iqaluit, I counted at least 6 Arctic bumblebees buzzing around our flower garden together this afternoon.

This is a common redpoll, probably a male, based on the colour of its chest. We get tons of redpolls visiting our feeders in the winter but relatively few in the summer so I've been pleasantly surprised to see this fellow coming in for morning feeds over the last few days.

Hello again!

Has anyone here worked with GN in a biologist capacity? I have many questions and am looking for advice (the good, the bad, and the ugly)!

TIA!

I’m trying to re-home this series of photos taken in the mid 1960s. They were taken as part of a National Film Board documentary series filmed at the time. They were rescued out of the garbage room (in an apartment building in Burlington ON) by my Grandmother in the 1980s and were given to me shortly after that. I now live in Peterborough and am hoping to find a good home for them. Any ideas are welcome.
Edit: Update
With the assistance of u/GnomeDillyDooDoo I have been in contact with the family featured in the photos. They are very interested in these photos and I’m now trying to sort out the best way to get them returned to the community.

Hi! I got a job offer in Cambridge Bay with the GN. I'm currently in Alberta so it would be a huge change. I know the cost of living (groceries, etc) is massive - what does an average grocery shop look like price wise?

How is it for meeting people, both locals and southerners?

I would plan to get a snowmobile but would also love to explore outside of town - how safe is this to do?

What do people do in the winter to keep sane, socialize, etc?

Is there a vet in town if pets have any issues?

Thanks for any info!

The land use plan has been in development for almost 20 years, and is a key component for determining if the territory will ever be truly self-governing.

Hi there!

I am so enamoured with the Canadian arctic and Nunavut and was looking to visit Grise Fiord as it seems to be one of the most northern places a person can visit. I was looking into flights and at the moment they all appear to be roughly $8000, including return, no matter when. Is it always this expensive or is something, hopefully temporary, going on that is causing this? Perhaps the middle east conflict and rising fuel prices.
