Happy Nunavut Day!

[thør]

I expect all the Canadians are celebrating today.

In Iqaluit, the big event will be the unveiling of monuments. There will also be food, games and music all afternoon.

Those Canadians really know how to party!

I think it's also the first day of Ramadan.

That was at sunset, last night. 10:43p, Iqualuit time!

A celebratory from the good little witch.

How does one celebrate Nunavut Day? I wanna get into the spirit.

"It’s a day we can remember those who survived before us, and a day to celebrate those hardships Inuit have overcome over the years. It's a chance for us to look forward and appreciate what we have today and share it together as a community throughout the territory," said PJ Akeagok, who works with Nunavut Tunngavik Inc.

This some kind of eskimo thing?

We'll use any excuse to party!




Not an all Canada holiday, it is an annual holiday in Nunavut marking the Canadian Parliament passing the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement Act and the Nunavut Act on July 9, 1993. Nunavut officially split from the Northwest Territories and became a Canadian territory on April 1, 1999.

Now you've spoilt it for the google challenged.

April 1, hm? July 9 is probably a much better day for a celebration, although "Hey, your mukluk's untied!" is a classic.

What? It was a valid question. I don't know what the hell goes on up there.

So, does this mean cake? Barbecues? Fireworks? Drinking? Days off work/school?

Please say it means cake.

Most Canadians can name all 50 states. Can you name the paltry 10 provinces and 3 territories in Canada without looking it up? It is the second largest country in the world, area-wise.

I'm certain there's cake.

Nope, sure can't. Most of them but no doubt I'd miss a couple. We aren't required to learn about countries that don't matter.

No. To be fair, I couldn't name the 31 federal states of Mexico either - and I've spent much much more time there than in Canada.

Do Canadians learn all the Mexican states?

You'll have to ask a Canadian.

Are you part Inuit, thør, or all Viking?

None of the above. Just noticed that gov't offices were closed in Iqualuit, today, and I wondered why.

A lot of folk don't know (or care) that the NWT was split into two territories. Is it important? Very much to some, and not so much to others.

I didn't know the why or when, but do know most of the territories and capitals because I am the map tester for the kid all year long.

It hasn't been relevant in our livelihood, but I do like to follow interesting facts.

Even more interesting was the revelation that you're not a Viking heir.

Look back at your question (actually, there were two specific ones) and look at my answer.

Regarding Nunavut (or any other place for that matter), it's good to have an idea of what's going on.

 

[thør]

A more sobering account.

I don't know the capital of Nunavut, but I can do all the other territories and provinces.

Seal blubber cake?
