COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM: EVENTS CALENDAR
Springtime festivals across the North bring together residents of the community and visitors to celebrate the end of a long winter and the return of the sun and longer days. Iqaluit, Rankin Inlet and Cambridge Bay are communities that celebrate this annual tradition in style, and Canadian North is proud to be a part of the festivities. Each festival blends both traditional and modern contests and draws a huge number of participants and spectators alike. There is something for everyone - from igloo building, ice sculpting and harpoon throwing to snowmobile races, scavenger hunts and sea-ice golf. There is no shortage of entertainment and Northern hospitality. Canadian North Midnight Golf Classic

Jul 9, 2010 - Jul 18, 2010 Since 1989, visual artists and performers from across the North gather each summer in Inuvik to celebrate the diversity that is Canada's North. They are Inuit, Inuvialuit, Gwich'in, Dene, Metis and many of Canada's additional First Nations, as well as non-Aboriginal artists and artisans; they come from as far away as Pangnirtung on Baffin Island, Gjoa Haven in the Arctic Archipelago, Fort Smith on the NWT/Alberta border, and from the Yukon Territory. They come to show their work, meet other artists, see different styles of work and learn new techniques. Call our toll free reservations 1-800-661-1505 click here. Folk on the Rocks
Jul 16, 2010 - Jul 18, 2010 The two-day weekend event (plus the Friday opening gala Warm the Rocks) has grown into one of Canada's top summertime music and cultural festivals, drawing musicians from the NWT and Nunavut and across the globe for the North's biggest party under the midnight sun. More than 24 hours of programming on five stages, including a children's area, cultural area, and beer garden promises fun and enjoyment for all ages. Along with the music, crowds can savour international and traditional cuisine at the food fair, and buy Northern creative works in the Art on the Rocks area.
