In Iqaluit, Rankin Inlet and Cambridge Bay, most buildings constructed within the past few years are wheelchair accessible. In Iqaluit, R. L. Hanson Construction Ltd. has a Handi-Van that can be hired for transport around town or to and from the airport. Mobility and accessibility may be more of a problem in the smaller communities. The principal air carriers will also provide facilities and services both on and off the ground for passengers with special requirements. When booking, inform reservations agents of any special needs the traveller may have.
Requirements can include special meals, wheelchairs, oxygen, and so on.
Travel with children is not especially difficult. People generally welcome children and are responsive to them. Parents should check ahead if they are worried about supplies for special needs and should carry a backup supply of items like formula and baby food or any special medications. Items such as diapers and formula are expensive and often in short supply, as there are many babies in all Nunavut communities. When travelling on the land with kids, apply common-sense rules and monitor the children closely.
