It's a beautiful sunny day in Inuvik today, 30 C and blue skies. June 21st is National Aboriginal Day in Canada - a day recognizing and celebrating the cultures of the First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. The day was first celebrated in 1996, and is a really fun day in Inuvik that everyone looks forward to, with food, demonstrations of Arctic games, music, dancing, activities for kids, fundraisers and lucky draws.
Below are some photos of the festivities in Jim Koe Park in the middle of Inuvik. The celebration is still going on, but the sun got too warm for me so I had to take a break!
Are you bored of the blue sky yet? :)
Water-frog guns to cool down!
