Governor General visits Nunavut

Governor General Adrienne Clarkson spent two days in Iqaluit this week as part of the 2004 Governor General’s Canadian Leadership Conference.

She joined 15 members of the Manitoba-Nunavut study group as they traveled the region to learn about northern issues. The delegates were part of a group of 229 future leaders of Canada who will represent all regions of the country when they come together at a conference in Ottawa next week.

While in Iqaluit, Clarkson met cabinet ministers, elders, and spent a morning talking to Grade 11 and 12 students at Inuksuk High School. She also held a discussion with representatives of Nunavut Tunngavik Inc.
