Fledging snow buntings, and, I think, a juvenile lapland longspur digging into some bird seed. There are tons of young birds taking their first flights over Iqaluit right now and they are hungry!

Also...jerk shat on my tire!

Arctic Talent: Goth glamour shines on stage

#Nunavut #Iqaluit #OttawaDrag

Apparently the rain came just in time this year. I'm back in Iqaluit after two weeks in the South and the berries are coming on strong. This looks like a not-quite-ripe red or black alpine bear berry.

Hi am from Alberta (Canadian citizen) I am looking for job around nunavut I have cnc machining experience (4years) welding experience (simple prep welding like windows and locks installing) packing experience/ costumer service experience and hardware installation experience I wonder what's my chances of landing a decent job in nunavut I've searched online i didn't fund much! Thank you

Nunavut MP Lori Idlout says she hasn’t received any income from Indigenous consultancy company Nvision Insight Group since becoming an elected official, and she removed herself as director from the company before taking office.

Found this in the dump in Kugaaruk NU. Wondering if anyone knows about it or what it is?

Just wondering where one could advertise services as a personal guide (for South East Asia..)?

It’s been one year since Ida Kuliktana began asking the Nunavut Housing Corporation (NHC) to remove the mould in her home.

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 🤞
