Nunavut as a territory celebrated its 20th birthday on July 9.
A wonderful anniversary, to be sure, but thereSA国际影视传媒檚 another part of the territory thatSA国际影视传媒檚 also celebrating two decades of existence.
Team Nunavut is also 20 years of age and the Sport and Recreation Division (SRD), formerly Sport Nunavut, is looking for people to help celebrate the milestone. The SRD will be putting together as many items and stories as it can get for a special anniversary campaign which is ongoing.
Mariele Depeuter, the SRDSA国际影视传媒檚 acting manager, said the GN is celebrating 20 years and wanted to include the division as part of it all.

The first big event for Team Nunavut upon its creation was the 2000 Arctic Winter Games in Whitehorse and itSA国际影视传媒檚 probably fitting in a way that the 20th anniversary of Team NunavutSA国际影视传媒檚 participation in the Games will happen where it all began.

She wouldnSA国际影视传媒檛 divulge any details nor give any hints as to what people will see.
In terms of a party or celebration, Depeuter said nothing big is being planned but rather a focus on highlighting some of the big moments provided by the athletes over the past two decades.
SA国际影视传媒淲e want to hear from people who have contributed to our past, where theySA国际影视传媒檝e ended up in their lives, what path theySA国际影视传媒檝e taken since participating with Team Nunavut,SA国际影视传媒 she said. SA国际影视传媒淲eSA国际影视传媒檙e encouraging people to get in touch with us and reach out and maybe even reconnect with some old friends they may have either lost contact with or havenSA国际影视传媒檛 spoken to in a while.SA国际影视传媒
