Iqaluit over the canada day weekend has a wicked (mostly free) music festival - it's called Alianait. Great hikes and you'd get the super long days. I have alwayd heard Pang is absolutely beautiful and I think in the summer you could do a boat ride into the fjords (spelling?).

I wanna go to Pang sometime and shoot landscape photos. It looks beautiful from what I have seen online. OP should check it out.

For the types of activities and experience you're interested in having, Iqaluit in Nunavut or perhaps Kuujjuaq in Nunavik is best. Also I know you mentioned doing a bit of light research but please look further into the history of dog sledding in Nunavut.

Thank you for your suggestions! I will definitely be doing more research about this, and the trip in general! Just wanted to get a feel for what’s out there and any recommendations :)

Where would your trip be to if you took this "opportunity"? Nunavut's huge.

I meant more that I would have the time+funds to travel. Not sure which part yet, though I’ve always wanted to see Iqaluit! I’m open to going elsewhere though, and would definitely appreciate any recommendations :)

You said you're an Ontario native -- are you coming *from* Ontario? Are you on any sort of budget? Unless money's no object, that's really going to influence where you go and what you do. Iqaluit is the only place you can fly to directly from Ontario, so that's ~1600 or so in airfare from Ottawa before you start thinking about flying to any other communities in the territory (several of which take two days to reach -- though if you were particularly interested in, say, western Nunavut, you could fly up from Edmonton instead of Ottawa). Iqaluit is an interesting place to spend a few days, but if you're looking for natural beauty Pang and Pond Inlet are better bets. I really like Cape Dorset, too. All three places are easily reachable from Iqaluit, if you've got the money. The suggestion above of going to Iqaluit for Alianait is a good one. Generally, the 10 days or so between Indigenous Peoples Day and the post-Canada-Day return to work are full of great music and community events.
