Legislative Building of Nunavut
Head to the Legislative Building of Nunavut. Enter through the main entrance and look up at the two wooden spires that resemble a Qamotiq, a traditional Inuit dog sled. The main floor is free to explore, but make sure to announce yourself to the security guard before going further. If the legislature is in session, you can observe the proceedings from the public gallery.

Walk three minutes to Black Heart Café for a coffee and a muffin. This local favourite is a quick, cozy stop to recharge.

Stroll three minutes more to Carvings Nunavut to browse Inuit sculptures and jewellery. The prices tend to lean towards the expensive side, so it is a nice window-shopping experience.
