Recreation Activities, Programs, and Events

COVID-19, RECREATION RESPONSE 

CITY OF IQALUIT RECREATION FACILITIES ARE REOPENING IN STAGES.  PLEASE SEE THE LATEST PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE CITY OF IQALUIT FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT SPECIFIC FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS. 

The City continues to monitor the situation and is working hard to bring alternative and updated programming when available

We here at the Recreation Department know that it can be challenging to be unexpectedly stuck inside by yourself, or with the kids off school. So! We have scoured the internet and have come up with some resources that you might want to check out.  Keep the kids (and maybe yourselves too) busy with crafts, games and other activities while we wait for the worst of this pandemic to pass.
