Nunavik-Quebec
(also known as Arctic Quebec) participated in the Arctic Winter Games
in 1972, 1974, 1976 and 1986. Its participation resumed in 2000.
Nunavik is the region of Quebec located above the 55th parallel. It is often included in the Arctic Winter Games because of the close cultural ties between its Inuit residents and those of Nunavut and Greenland. The Canadian Shield around Hudson Bay and Ungava Bay dominate Nunavik’s geography.
