About Iqaluit
Iqaluit, Nunavut is a remarkable and historically profound city situated on the southeastern shore of Baffin Island at the head of Frobisher Bay in the Qikiqtaaluk Region, approximately 2,200 kilometres north of Ottawa, and serves as the capital and largest community of Nunavut — Canada's newest, largest, and most remote territory, created in 1999 to recognize the land rights and self-determination of the Inuit people in a moment of historic significance for Indigenous peoples across Canada and the world.
As the smallest territorial or provincial capital in Canada by population yet the administrative heart of a territory encompassing over two million square kilometres of Arctic archipelago, tundra, and frozen sea, Iqaluit occupies a position of extraordinary symbolic and practical importance as the centre of Inuit governance, culture, and identity in the eastern Arctic — a living expression of one of the most significant acts of Indigenous self-determination in Canadian history.
The city's history stretches back thousands of years of Inuit habitation, with the broader Baffin Island region having been home to Inuit and their Dorset and Thule culture predecessors for millennia, before European contact beginning with Martin Frobisher's expeditions in the 1570s and the establishment of an American air base during the Second World War that laid the foundations for the modern settlement.
Top attractions include the Nunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum, a fascinating collection of Inuit artifacts, tools, and art that offers an intimate window into the richness and ingenuity of Arctic Inuit culture, the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut where the territorial government conducts business in both official Canadian languages and Inuktitut, the stunning natural environment of Sylvia Grinnell Territorial Park on the outskirts of the city, and the extraordinary opportunity to experience authentic Inuit culture, Arctic wildlife, and a landscape of tundra, sea ice, and midnight sun that is unlike anything else on earth.
The surrounding region offers exceptional Arctic wildlife watching including polar bears, Arctic foxes, caribou, and extraordinary seabird colonies.
With its profound significance as the capital of Inuit self-governance, its deep and living Inuit cultural heritage, and its position at the edge of the vast and awe-inspiring Canadian Arctic, Iqaluit is a city of unique and irreplaceable importance in the Canadian story.
