Nunavut’s first legislative assembly holds a historic first sitting on April 1, 1999, the Nunavut territory’s birth date. Nunavut’s first MLAs, chosen during an election held Feb. 15, 1999, held the historic gathering inside the Inuksuk High School gymnasium in Iqaluit. The Nunavut legislative building in Iqaluit, built and still owned by the Nunavut Construction Corp., was not ready to open until the fall of 1999. (FILE PHOTO)
