Not sure if you are being serious or not? :) Anyway, Nunavut is the newest province (I think that's the wrong term, but I'll use it anyway) of Canada. It's in the far far north east of the "NOrthwest Territories" - see the map at http://www.arctictravel.com/maps/nunamap.html.

The Nunavut Government website is http://www.gov.nu.ca/

They even have a movie out in the Inukituk language - I think it's called The Fast Runner and I thought it was kind of cool - just don't believe the dust jacket.

Matt;
I WAS curious, actually. So basically it's an entire day to celebrate a new "state's" entry into the Canadian conglomerate, huh?
Bryce also answered in another post; it was pretty cute about the illegal vanilla extract.

I actually saw "Fast Runner" in a theater. It was pretty impressive on the big screen, especially the part where the guy had to run naked across the ice floes; man, I hope they got that in one take and paid him a lot of salmon for it (Tee Hee)!
Anyway, thanks, I'll check out the websites as well;

PS. Was it you who made the treats that were passed around at the Potomac Armada? I seem to recall something like that. I'd love to get the recipe for those if you have one. They were yummy!
