This is such an underrated channel, as someone from Nunavut I'm glad people still come here, welcome to your new home! Sadly we do have the highest rent here rip!

[@weekendroady2060]

Wow man. My wife and I are headed up to Iqaluit in September and are having a massive challenge finding lodging anywhere near affordable (it doesn't exist). Nunavut has been on my list for awhile, only NWT left for me. I know I'm going to enjoy your series, keep up the great work!

[@Evantures]

Thanks for watching! And good luck on your apartment/house hunt...I've seen a few more apartment units being built in the downtown area!

Cool channel, im from Iqaluit and lived here most of my life. Welcome 🙂

[@skutzler9]

Great footage and info, thanks for sharing. It's beautiful there! Looks like I'll get offered a teaching position in the coming days at Nakasuk Elm, grade 5. Hoping to connect to see what I could bring to help out with library resources, any advice, etc.

Thanks for watching Sean! Of course, its a pretty great team here.

Thanks Evan, can you show more of the area such as the school, churches, etc... thanks.

Hey, just discovered your channel, when I was doing some virtual Nunavut tourism. I’m an elementary school ESL teacher in Quebec. If you ever need material, I compose my own songs, and there are activity sheets that go with them. It’s ESL for French speaking kids, but it could be useful for you. And the songs are pretty good, much better than public domain nursery rhymes anyway.

[@Evantures]

mr andrew esl that sounds amazing . Our school has an ESL teacher I’ll have to pass along some of the songs / worksheets ! Can’t wait to check out your stuff

[@hotcrazycatladyme168]

I just liked your video about the blizzard, and when I clicked the like button it said "this video does not exist". Did it get blown away by the blizzard or what? You're so lucky to be stuck in a blizzard in Iqaluit, that sounds like so much fun (yes I mean that, and yes I'm weird). Besides you kinda had that coming for your crack about Ottawa being the same temperature as Iqaluit. You pissed of mother nature, lol. Good luck with that! ;)

It was but his housing cost, high food prices, long waits for healthcare, and increase in homelessness is making it go down.

[@davidlynch5205]

Thanks for documenting your experiences and travel around Iqaluit. I worked for the then named Fisheries Research Board in 1970. At 17 yrs old, I found a summer job near my home west of Montreal, introducing me to Dr Edward Grainger, he sending me to then called Frobisher Bay, helping prepare launch and work with scientists on board MV Calanus. While it is a stark and shrubless most times, your capture of the ground hugging plants and a Bee? Thanks for the memories. David Lynch

Hi! I just found your channel! I'm a teacher too but south in Northern Manitoba. ... BUT .... My biological Mother and many family from her side resides in Iqualuit! I never met them (yet) but I would love to one day! The most northern place where I taught was Brochet, Manitoba and it was a fly-in-only community. Are you still teaching there this year?? Many of the schools around me have been either 1/2 time in-person or remote-learning due to Covid. .. ... The school where I teach has been open the whole entire 2020/21 year so far. (I teach in Cormorant Lake but I live in The Pas.) I'm looking forward to watching your other videos ... Take Care! ☀😊

Muskoka rent is around $2k for a one bedroom with no assistance available. Wonder what rents are like up there now? May just move. At least income would pay better than down here

Which territory is developing faster: Yukon, Nunavut or the Northwest Territories??

[@northeden8661]

I lived in Iqualuit from May to September in 1987. It used to be called Frobisher Bay but they changed it that summer I think. Anyway, if you think rent is expensive, wait until you go buy food. It's cheaper to order 1000 bucks worth of food from Montreal and just fly it in.

[@Evantures]

You remember the tricks of the trade! They have a Northmart now with a bit more "affordable" prices... Orange juice still $23+

[@Behestify]

Lots of families used to get together and place huge dry goods orders for the summer sea lift. Leave the store for fresh veggies.

[@asaggu1173]

oh wow. How are the apartment prices there? I was looking online but couldnt find anything.

[@Evantures]

I would say a 2 bedroom apartment with no subsidies would be around $2750-3000

[@christianouaka925]

Hi EvanturesTV, Thanks for sharing. It is definitely a good way to learn more about Iqaluit. My question: I saw that the apartment was furnished. Did you buy all the things in advance or was the apartment already furnished (sofa, bed, washer, dryer)? Thank you for your reply :)

[@Evantures]

Hey Christian! This unit was fully furnished! But with a government job they'll pay to ship all of your furniture/ belongings if you choose!

is there a home depot out there? i;m sure there are no senior citizens . their OAS would barely cover a 1 room shack

[@Evantures]

No Home Depot but one basic hardware store ! There’s a fair amount of elders here, theres an elders support program in Nunavut !

[@MrJungle123]

I'm curious - why is rent so high? From a supply and demand point of view, it's not a place, generally speaking, where people flock to.

[@MrJungle123]

@R.C. who's 'they'?

[@MrJungle123]

@R.C. I generally don't waste my time asking questions I know the answer too. Why be so obtuse? Unless of course you're just chatting nonsense.

[@pierlucabelsito2721]

Hi Evan, awesome channel! I've subscribed. Question: did your apartment come furnished?

Hey thanks Pierluca! Yep it came furnished (you get to decide) it’s an extra $40 / month

[@hotcrazycatladyme168]

I am curious to know what they pay you to teach there? It's got to be more than if you were working anywhere else in Canada right? Because how else would you/anyone be able to afford an apartment and the move down there otherwise. The other thing I don't understand is why so often they have to outsource for these type of jobs, and do you see that changing in the near future seeing as that there are more young people there now than ever before, which means they should be seeing their own baby boom so to speak, should they not? Would it not be easier for the government to put more funds into training the people who are already there to do jobs like yours, seeing as that would help with their housing costs and they already live there, and don't plan to leave? I'm not criticizing you for being there, or taking the job (they wouldn't hire you if they didn't need you obviously). I'm just a little confused as to why they need you there (no offense intended). Who knows maybe you can inspire some of your students to want to become teachers themselves!

[@Evantures]

Great question, and you'd be correct. Pay is significantly higher (2nd highest in Canada) for that exact reason. No offence taken. As much as I love it up here my hope is that my position won't be necessary anymore... and there is an NTEP (Northern Teacher Education Program) in place from the Nunavut Arctic College here in Iqaluit. It's still a small program and doesn't produce nearly enough qualified Inuktitut teachers, but it's a start. Thanks for your concern , and for watching !
