IBC unveils new state-of-the-art media centre in Nunavut’s capital

The Inuit Broadcasting Corporation unveiled its new state-of-the-art media centre in Iqaluit Wednesday.

Now, Johnny the Lemming has a new home.

After years of fundraising, IBC, which produces original Inuktitut programming, including the long running children’s program, Takuginai, featuring the famous lemming, opened its building along Federal Road to the public with a grand opening ceremony.

The building features a TV studio, audio, translation, editing and animation booths and a climate-controlled archive room.

“I can only say there’ll be higher quality and better quality production of Inuit language television or film and this is what this building will offer to all of us,” said IBC’s vice president, Bernadette Dean.
