Silvia Grinnell Territorial Park - Iqaluit

Come join me as I walk up and then down a pebbled path in Silvia Grinnell Territorial Park. Park signs along the way in 3 languages, but 4 representations: English, French, Inuktitut syllabics, and Inuktitut orthography.

Please go here to learn more about this amazing park:

Inuktitut syllabics and orthography:

Nunavut means "our land" in Inuktitut, the language spoken by many Inuit in Canada. I am enjoying my time living and working on the Nunavut Land Claim among Inuit. What an honour and a privilege!

Created on April 1st 1999, Nunavut is Canada's newest territory. It was established by the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement Act. Located in the northeastern arctic of Canada, the territory covers an area of 2,038,722 km² with a land mass of 1,877,787 km². It is bordered by Newfoundland, Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba to the south. to the west is the Northwest Territories.
