The City of Iqaluit Recreation Department invites the community to celebrate National Indigenous People’s Day with organized events on Sunday, June 21st, 2020.

We are excited to announce a Seal Skinning Contest. Residents are asked to submit a video to the City of Iqaluit Recreation Facebook page that displays the entire process of skinning and butchering of a seal, as well as show the quality of the skin. Entries will be accepted between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, and a winner announced on Monday, June 22nd. Do not forget to tag it using #NIPD #Pilak.

We also encourage you all to take part in a NIPD Scavenger Hunt. Submit pictures from your day to recreation@iqaluit.ca by 4:00 PM to enter. The winner will be announced on Monday, June 22nd. We also encourage you to share your adventure with everyone on our City of Iqaluit Recreation Facebook page.

Please follow the City of Iqaluit recreation Facebook page for more activities that you can do at home and follow your community as we enjoy the day together.

The Recreation Department would like to thank Canadian Heritage and the City of Iqaluit for their support with this event.
