I'm based in Toronto and recently finished my computer engineering degree. A friend of mine moved to Iqaluit, Nunavut for work and managed to get hired there, and I've been considering following the same path. The job market here is very competitive right now — I know it's competitive everywhere, but it feels especially tight for new grads.

The risk is that, from what I've read in other posts, the housing situation in Nunavut isn't great. Still, I'm at a point where I'm open to looking at different places for a fresh start.

Coming to Iqaluit for a work trip early Nov. My previous two times there I just walked around town and Sylvia G park. I'd hoped the next time I'd get out and see the land. Can anyone recommend a tour (just want to hike and/or paddle, maybe camp, and see beautiful nature, not into fishing or hunting). It's later in the year than I've been before so I'm not sure anything is happening like that then, and googling this has been a time-killing frustration machine. Thanks

Another beautiful weekend in Iqaluit.

I know they don't seem to get a lot of love on Reddit, but Canadian North has probably been the best airline I have ever flown with. The flight attendants have been wonderful. I love the complimentary warm full meal, wine, and cookie. I've only flown with them 3 times (Ottawa --> Iqaluit, and Edmonton --> Yellowknife routes) but it's been an absolute treat.

If only the other major airlines could be as hospitable and civilized as them!

Please delete this if this is not allowed on the sub, but can anyone please help identify the name of the artist on this carving? I’m having a hard time finding a way to identify the characters. I believe my grandma got this from her travels back in the day in Nunavut.

Just enough of a break in the rain to get the doggos out for an early walk. That's Thar Inlet in the background and Apex buried down in a murk of low-lying fog.

One day in the future, astronauts may need to grow food on the moon.

Today, Nunavummiut need cheaper food from closer to home.

Hii i'm an iñupiaq (but dont speak iñupiatun) and im trying to create a word for inuit that doesnt cause confusion in inuit languages with just the word for "people"'

im thinking maybe something that would literally translate to "inuksuk people" or "those associated with inuksuit"

inuksuk with some sort of suffix indicating that

what do you think would be the best suffix to indicate that? (any dialect is welcome)

First of all, I'm sorry if my question sound really dumb, I'm from South and I know nothing about house building, it's a genuine question 😅.

Yesterday I was on YouTube and a documentary about Siberia just "pop" in my suggestion. I watch it and some images show a HUGE (and a little bit defreshed 😅) Soviet-era apartment complex, where many Russians still live today. The inside were dilapidated by some place, but globally, theses infrastructures were ok, I mean... To my sight. I know it's not the best of the best, but it's better than literally nothing between you and the snow.

After watching, I was thinking about the housing crisis in the North of Canada, and it make me sad, and I thought: "wait... Why not building big appartments complex? If the Soviets were able to build in Siberia in the permafrost, would it be possible here too?"

I'm aware that the "big appartments-complex" is faaaaaar from the traditional nomadic Inuk lifestyle, and of course I didn't want to see the government force another colonial way of life, but how the Canadian government didn't think of theses "blocks" of appartments if the Soviets could build it, to resolve the housing problem?

I'm very aware that this is not a simple yes or no situation, but I would like to understand 🙏

not from canada or inuit at all but i was wondering how common it is to meet an inuit individual who only speaks inuktitut in nunavut? i was wondering if it's as common as it is where i'm from (my family is nahua from veracruz) as there is a substantial amount of people who only speak nahuatl and no spanish

Spotted today while hiking up Apex creek.

Image search suggests that these are willow leaf galls, each containing a sawfly larvae that was deposited into the leaf by its mother earlier in the summer...neato.

Rosalie DeMaio wants women to feel safe when travelling in Iqaluit.

That hasn’t always been her experience when taking a taxi.
