IQALUIT — The Nunavut government has declared July 9 as Nunavut Day for GN employees.

In an announcement last week, Kelvin Ng, the minister of human resources, said GN employees will get a paid holiday on that day.

The holiday marks July 9, 1993, when Canada’s Governor General gave the royal assent to the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement Act and the Nunavut Act.
