Workers make last-minute touch-ups July 8 to the site in front of the Igluvut building in Iqaluit that holds a monument to the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement made by three master carvers: Inuk Charlie of Taloyoak, Paul Malliki of Repulse Bay and Looty Pijamini of Grise Fiord. An assemblage of Nunavut politicians will mark the 20th anniversary of the agreement at a ceremony to be held there between 12 noon and 1:00 p.m. July 9, when they’ll pull the blue cover off the monument. Iqaluit residents can also enjoy an air show at the Iqaluit airport and a feast, barbecue, games and dancing near the Igluvut building. The Nunavut Arts and Crafts Association will hold their closing exhibition at the cadet hall between 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. and an Inuktitut film festival will be held at the Astro Theatre between 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. (PHOTO BY JIM BELL)
