Ask post offices about their hours of operation because they're highly variable, especially outside Iqaluit , Rankin Inlet and Cambridge Bay . Newspapers and Magazines Not so long ago, northerners regarded it as a great treat to get their hands on a daily newspaper. Now, in communities serviced by daily flights, it's easy to obtain copies of several Canadian dailies, including The Globe and Mail , and a wide variety of magazines. Check at local retail outlets. The Internet is also a high priority on Nunavut schools' curricula.
Many schools already have Internet access, and several have their own web sites.
However, these programs are run by volunteers for a limited number of hours each week. In Rankin Inlet, the community access site is at Leo Ussak School. Check with the public library for more information about the community access site, if school staff can't be reached. In Iqaluit, there is a CAP site at the Nunatta Campus building of Nunavut Arctic College, and there will be another at the public library after the autumn of 1998. Check with libraries or information centres in other Nunavut communities as more community access sites spring up.
