Nunavut

Nunavut is Canada’s newest territory and represents a new chapter in Confederation. Nunavut’s longtime inhabitants, the Inuit, are the territory’s manifestation of warmth and humanity. An industrialized lifestyle with modern conveniences such as Internet are found here along with breath taking scenery and respect for family. Recreational activities are dog sledding, snowmobiling, ice fishing and kayaking. Wildlife to be seen are muskox, caribou, polar bears, arctic foxes, whales and seals. The weather is cold, the flies in the spring can be a nuisance and there are the days of darkness and the midnight sun but if you are planning to live here it is a place to be enjoyed and appreciated.

Traces of base metals such as copper, iron, nickel, silver, lead and zinc have been found in various part of Nunavut. Precious materials like gold and diamonds, hydrocarbons and radioactive elements have also been detected in various locations in recent years. The discovery of these metals and materials points to the geological wealth of Nunavut. At present there are two operational mines in Nunavut with zinc having the highest value of all the metals produced. Tourism is also part of the economy of Nunavut along with fishing of Whitefish and Arctic char, packaging of raw fish and meat plus Inuit arts and crafts such as soapstone sculptures.
