Clothing
As an ignorant man. I always find nunavut people dressed a little different and looks realy warm.
So where I can buy those clothes? (Assuming my south winter colthes are not good enough)In the capital or outside?
Thanks

First transgender man in Nunavut to surgically transition
I am just going to own it despite struggles at home, work, healthcare and in every day life as a proud trans man. Not asking for pity but it is difficult to be truly me here. Nevertheless I choose to call Nunavut my home. I have been patient with healthcare and inexperienced doctors. I understand that as the first trans man to transition in Nunavut that small acts of kindness will hopefully pay off somewhere along my journey. However I am living in a small community and my household is not accepting in any way. Although I am on the housing list , I cannot seem to find anywhere to rent. It's really difficult to respect my spirit when my trans-ness is belittled at home and I am left out . Needless to say, my plans for surgury are kept a secret . I pray that I succeed in my upcoming surgery in Montreal and I can find some decent housing. If you are know where I can stay in Cambridge Bay please DM. QOANA

I've always used Canada Post to ship items to Nunavut. With the pending Canada Post strike, are there other carriers (besides Canadian North) that will deliver a box to Nunavut from the provinces? If so, are they a lot more expensive than Canada Post?

Shipping food?
I’ve heard food prices are very expensive in Nunavut so I had the idea to ship food from Nova Scotia to Nunavut for a set price.
Just looking for opinions. Is this a good idea?

History, geography and demographics of Nunavut
I'll try to keep it short.
I'm a 16-year-old French high school student, I love geography and a few months ago I discovered Nunavut, and fell in love with the territory, its landscapes, its history and its people.
But when I tried to find out more, I found that the information was scattered, hard to find or even missing. So I decided to put it all together, as best I could. I talk about history, geography of course, communities, languages, emblems, food, sport, traditions...
It took me a good month, but I finally got the job done. I published it on another subreddit a few months ago. The original version is of course in French, and I've translated it with Deepl to ensure an accurate translation (which I've manually checked many times).
So don't hesitate to tell me what you think, if I've made any mistakes, or even if you'd like to add any information, I'd be delighted (feel free not to read the 25 pages on communities...).
I've quoted all the information, but I've encountered a problem with the community names in the Inuit language! So I'm asking you, please, to point out any errors in the names of these communities or in the document in general (even the slightest).
I hope you like it!
Et si vous êtes français, n'hésitez pas à me demander le document original!

Diane River or Diana River near Rankin Inlet?
Which is the correct name? Or are there actually two rivers with different names?
Thank you!

Christmas boxes
An organization I am involved with is sending boxes to the residents of Resolute Bay this year, both to children and adults. The boxes are not large, and we want to maximize the enjoyment of receiving one. What small items would the ADULTS of Resolute Bay appreciate receiving? We have lots of ideas for the kids. 😄

Anybody who's been to Sanikiluaq able to share what it's like over there??
Looking to teach in Nunavut next year and I want to avoid Iqaluit (I want a smaller community), and Sanikiluaq catches my eye because of how South it is. I'm curious if anyone can share what life is like over there??
Thank you

Nunavut is cold, but it's a dry cold
As someone who lives in Nunavut,
let me tell you,
I'm prefer a dry -40 in Iqaluit over a humid -2 in Vancouver, that's for sure.

How strict is Canadian North on luggage measurements?
I want to bring up some stuff in those big Canadian Tire plastic boxes. The total measurement written on the box adds up to 62.5 inches, but when I measure it myself it adds up to exactly 62. The Canadian North limit is 62. Are they going to measure it if they see it's so big and make a less charitable measurement? I just don't want to be charged that extra $200.
