    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    At home, we speak French, but we all know English, a bit german and a few words and songs in Inuktitut. We live in a multicultural city (with 4 official languages in Nunavut : Inuktitut, English, French and Inuinaqun), with a some of traditional Inuit activities organized by local associations. For exemple, every April is a igloo building contest and dogsleed races during the Toonik Time Festival. Reading on the Nunavut and its people will be a open mind and polite thing to do before visiting Nunavut.
