Did You Know…
- Nunavut became Canada’s newest territory in 1999—and still has no road access? Nunavut was carved out of the eastern Northwest Territories as part of the largest Indigenous land claim settlement in Canadian history. To this day, it remains completely fly-in, with no road connections to the rest of Canada.
- Iqaluit is the only city in Nunavut? Iqaluit, the territorial capital, is the largest community with just over 7,000 residents. Despite its small size, it serves as a hub for government, culture, and tourism.
- Inuit throat singing was once banned but is now celebrated across the territory? This traditional vocal art, originally performed by women, was suppressed by missionaries but has made a powerful comeback. Today, it’s featured in festivals, classrooms, and concerts, helping to preserve and share Inuit culture.
- Did you know the midnight sun can last up to 24 hours a day in summer? In communities above the Arctic Circle, the sun doesn’t set for weeks in summer—perfect for hiking, photography, or enjoying community events under endless daylight.
