About Iqaluit:
Iqaluit, formerly known as Frobisher Bay, is the capital and administrative centre of Canada’s newest territory, Nunavut. Situated in the hills overlooking the Koojesse Inlet, Iqaluit is located east of Nunavut's mainland and north of Quebec on Baffin Island and is only accessible by air, by sea or by dogsled and snowmobile! A gateway to the unique world of the arctic, this community is known for its world renowned artwork, the Inuit-inspired architecture of the Legislature building and Anglican Church, and the Nunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum and Visitors Centre, which showcases the local history and includes an impressive collection of Inuit artifacts.
Our team will stay in 2 fully furnished townhouses provided by Habitat Iqaluit. Kitchens are fully equipped for us to prepare our breakfasts and dinners. Lunch and snacks will be provided onsite.
This trip to Iqaluit will cost approximately $1,750. This trip cost includes round-trip airfare from Ottawa. Participants will also need to arrange and pay for air/ground transportation to Ottawa, Canada, plus $100 for R&R*. The trip cost includes lodging, food, ground transportation, traveler’s medical insurance, orientation materials and a donation to the Global Village program.
