Nunavut

I was extremely fortunate to visit Nunavut last week. The plan was to go to Pangnirtung and Rankin Inlet, but the weather was not playing along (everyone from up North did warn us that the the weather can be unpredictable this time of the year what flights are concerned). So we were fortunate enough to spend a couple of extra days in Pang. It is hard to put into words how beautiful Pangnirtung is, and how warm and welcoming its people are. I kept telling everyone that I will be back and I want to bring the kids. If you are into art, culture, nature, hiking, photography …., this place should be at the top of your list of places in Canada to visit. Pang has so much to offer: the beautiful Uqqurmiut Art Centre (www.uqqurmiut.com) with its printmaking and tapestry workshops, the Angmarlik Visitor’s Centre with its knowledgeable staff, and lets not forget Louis at Auyuittuq Lodge, who handled us tourists with a firm, but kind hand (not to mention excellent food!). I can’t wait to come back.
