Danes to officially open honourary consulate in Iqaluit

Poul Kristensen, Danish ambassador to Canada, will be in Iqaluit on Saturday to formally acknowledge the opening of the honourary Danish consulate.

Kenn Harper, a Nunatsiaq News columnist, author and Iqaluit businessman, will continue to serve as honourary consul. One issue of pressing concern to Denmark is restoring the scheduled air link between Nunavut and Greenland.

Kristensen and Harper will be hosts at a reception in the foyer of the Legislative Assembly at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday.
