We had a mini Toonik Tyme Festival on Friday to share what we know about Iqaluit and to think about the similarities with Iqaluit and Rocky.
The Grade 2s were local community members (from Iqaluit), hired to take tourists from Rocky on an Iqaluit adventure. With their travel itinerary in hand, the Grade 2s taught the Grade 1s all about Iqaluit culture and traditions as they explored different activities at the festival.
Here are some snapshots from the festival:
