Christmas tree lighting in Iqaluit

Santa Claus, Premier P.J. Akeeagok, a few MLAs and around 300 others came out Thursday evening for a winter lights ceremony in front of the legislative assembly in Iqaluit. The ceremony opened with a speech by Nunavut Commissioner Eva Aariak and carols from the Aqsarniit Middle School choir before trees in front of the assembly were lit up with Christmas lights.
