Hi Evan I am an Australian Registered Nurse I lived and worked in Iqaluit 1999-2001, I fell in love with the beautiful serenity and the friendly Inuit and Canadians I met. My regret is that I didn't come back although I did visit in 2003 & 2011. When this pandemic is over I would love to visit again. Stay safe

[@Evantures]

Thats amazing to hear, quite the polar opposite! I'm certain you'll get the chance to come back up once this all blows over. Stay safe down under Wendy!

This Pandemic will never over. Nature is angry with human non-ending sins. Now slowly slowly this earth will going to come to an end. When arrogance is at Peak then Nature rules apply. When human don't listen to another human for his useless rules & regulation then Nature rules apply, When human become maniac then Nature has to come down, When human becomes wolf then Nature teaches the lesson AND when human crosses every limit then Nature reward Pandemic and More Pandemics are coming. THIS EARTH HAS TO FINISH & THE TIME ALREADY STARTED

I lived in Iqaluit for 9 years in the 90's and loved every moment of it. Thank you for showing the rest of the world what a beautiful place it is. Stay safe.

[@Evantures]

[@gracewilk1288]

Thank you! it is a great recording of our city.

[@Evantures]

thanks for watching, it's quite the place!

[@katofspades19]

I loved this little dose of nostalgia! I worked with Actua all over Nunavut on their outreach team the summer before teachers' college and fell in love with the culture and landscape. Thanks for bringing me back to Iqaluit!

[@Evantures]

I was an Outreach Instructor too! Great organization. I would have done it in 2017 (I posted early videos of the smaller communities I went to). cheers!

AWG is every 2 years and the countries that participate are Greenland, Canada (Nunavut, NWT, Yukon and Alberta), USA (Alaska), Russia and Sepmi (Northren Scandinavia), but I'm impressed on how you know the knowledge well in my home community

@@Evantures if ur stumped for questions for iqaluit, just ask me, I've been in that town since I was born so I might know everything about it

The message at 3:00 is so important. Those “freedom fighters” protesting COVID measure need to hear this. We are in this together, it’s tough but it’s needed to get us to a better state

[@taisafinskayacanada7645]

Thank you for this joyful video 👍

[@frankreardon1035]

Nice Job

[@inigojuancarlos]

[@RobinHoodDR]

You wanna move in this dead region for what to eat SNOW? lol

[@Evantures]

very peaceful lifestyle indeed

[@jeff8560]

hey, Even I am thinking of going up for work. Is there a lot of young people? and what is the place for indoor activities? easy to make friends?

[@stevenburke701]

We’re feeling this pretty hard. I’m working for one of the flight teams in Iqaluit now. We’re so busy I haven’t gotten to explore much so thanks for showing me around! Lol I’m Burkie26 on insta!

[@Evantures]

I really appreciate the extra efforts my friend! I'm glad I can highlight a little bit. Thanks for watching!

[@alanbarajas94]

Good video bro! My dream was always to live in Iqaluit! Greetings from Monterrey, Mexico

[@Evantures]

Hola! Thanks for watching Alan

[@yaziiriivas482]

Hello! how is the wifi and internet up there? I am curious thank you!

[@Evantures]

Hi there! I've done a video on it (Nunavut Internet Fiasco) It's gotten a lot better. thanks for watching

[@eb.3764]

I want to teach in Nunavut in the French school board

[@johonanandrewgomes7593]

[@Evantures]

Thanks Johanan. I have a 3 year contract at my current school. Then hoping extension or indeterminate.

[@snowfox3012]

1:30 Ewwww! Wipe down your PC screen, keyboard, and mouse. Maybe that is how Nunavut is avoiding the first case of CV ... natural immunity from germs because they are all around? I'm also in an isolated place and no cases yet, but it only takes one to start the party.

[@Evantures]

I thought the same thing IslandGal😅doesn't help the sun was on it. That's great to hear, where are you watching from?

[@islandgal500]

@@Evantures One of the small islands on the west coast of Canada. I know... germs are invisible. Glad the sun shines on my screen every once in a while to remind me to do a wipe-down.

[@elchasai]

how honestly does anyone coming from outside afford to live here? I imagine your rent is subsidized by your employer, but are you hunting/fishing for your food? because if not those prices at NorthMart are so exorbitant that I would have to imagine along with internet this is where all your money goes. What type of person is purchasing those million dollar homes?

[@Evantures]

There’s ways of saving money on food (Amazon and companies like Arctic Fresh) But wage is considerably higher for government positions here in Iqaluit (and there’s an allowance) Yes Arctic char is delicious and pretty plentiful ! 🐟

[@elchasai]

@@Evantures so basically without a government job you cant live there, and with government jobs people are flooding the market so thats why there are million dollar homes being built. What sort of situation does that create for the actual native born population ? Ive seen newsclips with people there saying they make under 1000 dollars a month and can barely afford rent let alone food. So really my question is, how much poverty is there in Nunavut and specifically Iqaluit, and what is the effect on that of people coming in from the outside taking up high salary government positions?

[@Evantures]

​@@elchasai You bring up the age old issue. There is quite the divide. In terms of hierarchy for positions up here in Iqaluit. It's based off priority to Inuit (therefore if there are 3 candidates, one 1. Inuit, 2. non Inuk born here and 3. Southerner, The Inuk individual is the priority for hiring. The problem is not enough trained and qualified individuals fit the description and apply for these positions. (Which I believe is the bigger issue) Getting more Inuit educated and trained! My goal is to teach long enough for my spot to be filled by someone from Nunavut!

[@elchasai]

@@Evantures not enough 'trained and qualified', to whose standards? The southern government's standards? There is so much disconnection going on, from Ottawa to Iqaluit, from modern Nunavummiut to the cultural inheritances of how to succeed at life in that environment. I saw a great presentation that showed young people of the territory being taught how to hunt and produce everything that is needed from the fruits of that hunt in the intricate and perfected crafts born of millenia of local knowledge. Perhaps one of the reasons why there is so much mental health trouble is because too much of what is local is being displaced or discounted. If you feel like you are doing more good than harm, bless you, and I hope its true. Thank you for sharing your vlog (is that a term anyone uses anymore?).
