Canada's newest and northernmost arctic capital incorporates the traditional practices of its native Inuit communities into the fast-growing metropolitan infrastructure. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Nunavut’s Legislative Assembly building in downtown Iqaluit, a 3-story edifice that integrates Inuit motifs in its modern design, or the igloo-shaped Anglican cathedral. Stone monuments like inukshuks and inunnguaqs guide travelers to the spectacular tundra surrounding the city.

We serve as a regional information centre for the Qikiqtani (Baffin) region of Nunavut and the entire territory. Visitors can receive all the information and materials they need to plan a trip or learn about the destinations they are travelling to in the territory. We also have many beautiful displays of Inuit art, artifacts and dioramas of Arctic life (including many Arctic animals and scenery). We offer cultural programming throughout the year including movie nights, guest speakers, the Inuit Art Experience, various workshops and much more. Our staff of Information Counsellors are here at your service to answer your questions about travel, history, culture and this beautiful land we call Nunavut. The Unikkaarvik Visitor Centre is operated by Nunavut Tourism for the Government of Nunavut.
Fantastic visit today at the centre because of Aaron. He knows and understands the history and culture of Iqaluit and the Inuit so well. Thank you Aaron on behalf of the Centennial College students/faculty for teaching us so much in such a short period of time.
