Iqaluit, NU

When we visited Iqaluit, we were amazed to see a city grounded in the traditions of the Inuit people and also alive with a new diverse population. We were so honoured to visit the local mosque and meet Sofia Ali, who believes she is the first Muslim person to be born in Nunavut. Later that same day, we visited the Qayait Society, which is working to teach young people Inuit traditions, like building kayaks. We are absolutely impressed and inspired by the vibrant culture of Iqaluit.

Quand nous avons visité Iqaluit, nous étions ébahis de voir une ville basée sur les traditions du peuple inuit et aussi animée par une nouvelle population diversifiée. Nous étions si honorés de visiter la mosquée locale et de rencontrer Sofia Ali, qui croit qu'elle est la première personne musulmane d'être née au Nunavut. Plus tard sur le même jour, nous avons visité la société Qayait, qui travaille à enseigner les jeunes les traditions inuites, telles que la construction de kayaks. Nous étions absolument impressionnés et inspirés par la culture vive d'Iqaluit.

What I understand or learned its an excellent place for the 'research scientists' of earth resources, like geologists and others who keen to understand the environmental impacts on earlier, existing and prim beings in the northern part of the globe. They could also able to accomplished and understand the behavior of various products in extreme weather conditions and their utility in the modern world. I reckon its a cool and calm place away from the large metropolitan. In the last but not the least, I feels pleasure to heard the 'offering and calling for pray', for the Muslims in this far flung area of Canada.

My ancestors were the first muslims in Canada. Praise God they all became Christians and many became clergymen. So well those two ancestors are headed to the fires of Hell most of those born after were good faithful Christians and so are headed to Heaven . Thanks to Jesus the only Son of God who is now one in the Holy Trinity

Damn I'm Muslim and Canadian and didn't even know Iqaluit had muslims that crazy

Land is for everyone to enjoy. Whoever is willing to live in peace and harmony with others should be welcome as much in nunavut as in africa or china. Diversity is the norm, people have always migrated. Land ownership is a conquerors/settler mentality

Wow, can't believe that there are Muslims in Nunavut...

[jaym-bucr]

Wonder what Muslims would do for halal food?

[PinkFloydTheDarkSide]

Why the hell Muslims want everyone to hear their prayers on loudspeakers? The whole of India is troubled with this nonsense 5 times a day and they are doing it here in the remotest places in North Canada too.

[unchained]

So Muslims live there, are there any Christians?

C'mon leave the Inuits alone, don't taint their gene pool.
