An excerpt from a miscellany of the Canadian North. The full set appears in the print edition of the November 2007 issue.
85% of Nunavut residents self-identified as aboriginal in 2001, compared with 50% in the NWT and 23% in the Yukon.

I Trust this should be "Minus 27.2 C" in item 27 of Arctic Facts, Figures and Archives, quoted below:

"The average forecast high in January is 27.2°C;"
