Nunavut, Canada’s youngest and largest territory, is home to Inuit culture, dramatic Arctic landscapes, and remote settlements accessible only by air or sea. It plays a vital role in Indigenous governance and environmental stewardship of the polar region.

Nunavut together with Yukon is served by area code 867, a code specifically designated for Canada’s northern territories. With its introduction in 1997, area code 867 allowed Nunavut’s distinct and expansive communities to remain connected, despite extreme distances and logistical challenges. Nunavut’s area code stands as a digital lifeline in one of the most remote inhabited regions on Earth.
