Some of the 25 Iqalungmmiut who became Canadian citizens Oct. 28 pose in the Legislative Assembly in Iqaluit Nov. 3. MLA George Hickes recognized these new Canadians in the assembly’s gallery Nov. 3, to the applause of all MLAs. “Diversity of our population is something that Canada is not only renowned for, but is proud of,” Hickes said. “Welcome to the assembly, and welcome to Canada.” (PHOTO BY THOMAS ROHNER)
