Kugluktuk Nunavut - Nattiq Frolics Festival

---This was the second year for Edge Entertainment to provide Entertainment for the Nattiq Frolics Festival (Nattiq means seal), it was an awesome experience, the reception we received was great, the kids are precious, the adults are all gracious, all of us that went are city people and up there all of the people definetly are not city folk you have to appreciate what they go through with the amount of cold and snow basically 10 months of the year, I don't know how they do it I couldn't but that is a totally different lifestyle. The pictures are a shot of the Recreation Complex welcoming you to Kugluktuk, Deano in performing clothes one of the nights, fellow performers - Dale, Deano (that's me), Sandra, Jeff, Kelly, the building is the RCMP detachment and jail, but the sunset was awesome it was approx. 2:00am in 2nd last picture, Kugluktuk aerial view in the bottom picture. We are hoping to go back, it was really a humbling - life changing experience seeing what we have to what other people in our own country of Canada have, one neat thing is in Calgary it is all cars and trucks) but up here it is all snowmobiles (hardly any cars or trucks at all) it is really different to see.

Kugluktuk (Inuinnaqtun: Qurluktuk, "the place of moving water"; Inuktitut formerly Coppermine until 1 January 1996) is a hamlet located at the mouth of the Coppermine River in the Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut, Canada, on Coronation Gulf, southwest of Victoria Island. It is the westernmost community in Nunavut, almost on the border with the Northwest Territories - located at 67.82 N, 115.15 W. It is the most westerly community of Nunavut with a population of approximately 1362.
The traditional language of the area was Inuinnaqtun and is written using the Latin alphabet rather than the syllabics of the Inuktitut writing system, syllabics are rarely seen and used mainly by the Government of Nunavut.Kugluktuk is located on the shore of the Arctic Ocean. The surrounding landscape is dominated by the rocky and often barren Canadian Shield. The region has a semi-arid Arctic climate, with very cold winters, light snowfall, and summers too cool to permit the growth of trees. Though trees do exist in the region, they are dwarfed and extremely sparse.
Plant growth in the region during summer months includes small shrubs, grass, moss, lichens, blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, various flowers, and dwarfed pine and birch trees.
The entire town is covered by wireless Internet service.
