I remember seeing that issue at the Edmonton airport while I was on my way south for the holidays...and that was on Dec. 18th. Not trying to be a smart ass...just sayin!<BR/><BR/>and hey Kennie, let me know if you ever need any ground work done in these parts for any future job prospects! I'm sure Simpson doesn't offer quite the same amount of isolated views as Nunavut, but it still has it's perks. :^)Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06707629451492983317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039120098510229196.post-68507802543855971792009-01-22T20:13:00.000-05:002009-01-22T20:13:00.000-05:00Technicality, schmetechality :-) Gotta go with wha...Technicality, schmetechality :-) Gotta go with what our geography text books say ... hmm...

I used to think this was just splitting hairs but while April 1, 1999 saw Nunavut come into being, the date that is really celebrated is July 9 (1993), the date the Act leading to the territory's creation was officially signed. Unfortunately, I always miss it since I"m away for vacation but I suspect there will be a lot of activity in the capital this summer. Hopefully lots of media too since the exposure is always a good thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039120098510229196.post-20613729833278776862009-01-22T19:31:00.000-05:002009-01-22T19:31:00.000-05:00Yeppers you can Darcy.

I'm not sure what happened to them though and really regret not making copies at the time. I'd love to see the full issue myself. Might be able to get hold of a copy through the Nunavut Library Board perhaps, I'm just guessing. <BR/><BR/>Can I borrow the issue you picked up today when you're finished? I'd love to see it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
