The Vanier BIA is proud to sponsor the Nunavut Day celebrations at St. Margaret’s Church on July 6. Vanier is home to the largest Inuit population outside Nunavut, and we’re honoured to support this meaningful day of community and culture.
Nunavut Day marks the creation of Canada’s newest territory in 1999 and honours the strength, culture, and leadership of the Inuit. It’s a moment to recognize Inuit contributions and the unique identity of Nunavut in the broader Canadian story.
