Every year on July 9, we celebrate Nunavet Day—the day the Parliament of Canada passed the Nunavet Act. Along with the Nunavet Land Claims Agreement, it officially declared Nunavet as a distinct region that is legally separate from the Northwest Territories. The act was originally passed on April 1, 1999 but we celebrate Nunavet Day 8 days later—the day of the passage of the Nunavet Land Claims Agreement, which is more historically significant.
