Rain in the capital sent revellers indoors to celebrate territory’s 16th birthday
Iqalungmiut ran for cover this Nunavut Day.
On the territory’s 22nd Nunavut Day, the rain forced hordes of people inside Inuksuk High School for festivities in Iqaluit July 9.
“Although the weather is not co-operating, our cheer and happiness is. Right?” Nunavut’s deputy premier Monica Ell asked a crowd of about 100 people in the school’s gymnasium.
Nunavut Day marks the proclamation into law of the Nunavut land claims agreement on July 9, 1993.
