DRIVNG AROUND IQALUIT, NUNAVUT

[@emuna1976]

when i was a kid I used to live in central mexico by the ocean pacific (hot and tropical weather) , i remember i saw a national geographic documentary about the life in the canadian tundra and the north pole as a kid i always wanted to visit there and spend some time in the canadian tundra, for now i'll just watch these videos that reminds me of where i want to go thanks to and greetings for her family and everybody reading this😃

[@gordoncheyne5567]

I like how they paint the buildings in bright colors. Scandinavia also. Break the monotony. Even though it's beautiful.

[@jamesjjames]

I understand why they do that in cold, bleak environments but I wish they'd do it elsewhere as well.

I’d love to visit the north for a while. Just chilling in a small arctic village with the northern lights in the sky as you sit with your family by the fire..

[@jasongates-]

Thanks. Videos like this is interesting, since this is the only way for people, like me, to ever get to see what it's like in certain cities around the world. It's nice that you get to go for a drive like that. One thing I noticed from these videos is that I don't see any traffic lights. Just all stop signs. And as I typed that about the traffic lights, I realized, no sewer system for the streets, either. But, I'm sure they came up with something for the run off when it rains, or snow melts.

[@rogerplested9484]

Thank you. I hope that the college has daycare services so that you can take courses and get out of your apartment. I also did not see a hockey arena or curling rink

[@OliviaIrwin4]

There are two arenas in Iqaluit! :) I don’t think the college has daycare but if I wanted to take a course I could definitely find someone to watch Jude! :)

[@belkacemzermiche1936]

Thank you for this walk, it's been a while since I try to make a decision to come to Nunavut, but after seeing your videos it encouraged me to live this adventure.

[@lukasmeggs5857]

Ohhhh boy I remember before Arctic Ventures before it got its facelift and before the apartment building that went up across the row from it and White Row. And when the Brown Building was actually brown. It’s like it’s changed so much but hardly changed at all

[@OliviaIrwin4]

When were you in Iqaluit? I’ve already seen some changes in terms of buildings going up since I’ve been here!

[@lukasmeggs5857]

Olivia Irwin I lived in Iqaluit for 12 years, from when I was born in ‘92 until 2004. Managed to get back up to visit in 08 and again in 2016!

[@OliviaIrwin4]

Very cool! I’m a 92 baby too!

[@RedMapleCanada]

Absolutely beautiful area! So many nice, modern buildings too. Greetings from Vancouver! 👋

[@soundoftoday10]

Wooow! Iqaluit looks so beautiful

[@thevintagekitty]

I think for me personally, why NU has never been inviting to me is the total absence of trees and bushes. Feels so desolate without them.

[@amybluesky007]

It is all a matter of perspective, it must really feel like a desert of ice, frost and snow. Or desert land. But in "desolate" nature, sometimes you also find the warmest welcoming people. I don't know if it is the case in Iqaluit, provided that the Inuits population there have been colonized by the Canadians, but it looks nicer than what I thought.

[@kevinw8485]

I have applied to the accounting firm Lester Landau, no luck so far , I think they only way I will see the Arctic is to work up there. Widowed now but still okay to dream.

[@OliviaIrwin4]

It’s pretty neat living here knowing that most Canadians will never get to experience the city, I definitely don’t take it for granted :)

[@JB-ou6fl]

Thanks for posting this interesting video! I'm impressed with the people who were walking outside braving the cold :)

[@anudaviskalapurakkal5670]

wow its different compared to Ontario , awsome vlog!

[@billallen5557]

Nice tour!! Now that the summer season has arrived, could you do a comparable tour of Iqaluit? The major investment in & completion of the new Iqaluit Airport terminal is a huge indicator of the positive direction of Iqaluit's future. Additional commercial & residential development is undoubtedly already in at least the planning stages. Will be interesting to watch this progress thru your videos.

[@OliviaIrwin4]

Yes I will definitely do another one of these videos soon! :) the new airport is great, it’s interesting hearing about all of the changes in Iqaluit from people that have lived here through them, even over the past 10 years.

[@not2tees]

Thanks for the tour - what is that white dome sort of igloo with the black pointy tower on top, and a little cross at 2:44? Is that a church? Now that I look at it again, I see the caption written right on the frame: St Jude's church. I am observant!

I am taken very much by the Canadians and the gorgeous people and country they have. Beautiful video, music GREAT! This is where Annabella Piugattuk lives yet...I think, she the absolutely splendid actress in "The Snow Walker." (2003) I watch it every week I think. I cannot believe after her 20 year old, first time acting venture that Hollywood has not has not had Charles Martin Smith find another fine, fine story as the first one. I watched "Never Call Wolf" starring Charles the other night, then HAD TO watch the beautiful, very talented Annabella again. I like watching this stuff about Nunavut and I though Iqalut was small.

[@eslnoob191]

I'm really curious to know what their economy up there is based around. Iqaluit looks incredibly prosperous, especially compared to Arctic towns in Alaska like Nome or Utqiagvik which actually have a lot of economic activity based on natural resources like oil and precious metals. Is all of Iqaluit's wealth just based on government money, since Iqaluit is now the administrative center of Nunavut?

[@davidjamesshaver]

It looks really cold but GREAT :D

[@saqadiq2585]

It’s insane to think that in Canada, you have places like Vancouver, a place with palm trees and very mild winters, and then there’s Iqualit. Every single corner of this country is beautiful though.

[@guitarhero6584]

A place in Canada with mild winters, is there a Florida Canada???

[@RaquelDubs]

I mean you can't escape winter in Canada anywhere you go though. The USA is much more diverse in their temperatures. You could pick to live in miami florida or hawaii then on the other hand somewhere like north dakota or even alaska. Extreme winters or extreme heat. But in Canada just more mild winter areas, but never no winter
