Ukkusiksalik: The Bay with Reversing Falls

Ukkusiksalik National Park in Nunavut is centred on Wager Bay, a 100-km-long saltwater inlet. At the bay's narrow entrance, powerful tides create 'reversing falls,' a turbulent spectacle of water flowing against itself. The area is also known for its high concentration of polar bears that gather on shore during the summer. #Canada #Ukkusiksalik #Nunavut #Tides 🇨🇦

Only three movie theatres remain in Canada’s North. What now? | CBC Arts

Earlier this month, Yellowknife's only cinema, the Capitol, closed its doors. That's left film exhibitors in the territories worried about access for Northern communities — and hoping for a rebirth.

The old plates. When the NWT split into the NWT and Nunavut both territories wanted the old Polar Bear plates. Truthfully Nunavut had a much better claim as we have a more robust population of Polar Bears, throughout more of the area. But after a few years of both having the PB plates Nunavut decided to run a contest for new plates and this is what came of it.

We’ve now returned to PB plates although a different design of them. Somewhere I have NWT and Nunavut original PB plates. #Nunavut

Coming back to the cabin at the end of the walk. I was soaked in sweat as I was way over dressed. Stuck around the cabin longer than expected as I had to dry out clothes before snowmobiling back to town. #CabinLife #Nunavut
