The Foire du livre et de la musique gives members of the Francophone community a chance to buy books, CDs and CD-ROMs in French. Most people are employed in the service sector, which includes government, education, health care and social services. However, tourism is becoming increasingly important. There are some thirty Francophone entrepreneurs in and around Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut. Their businesses, often closely connected with tourism, include restaurants and taxi companies, linguistic interpretation services and outfits that arrange nature or adventure tours on foot or by dogsled or snowmobile.
Tourism is one of the areas on which Francophones are focussing their economic development efforts.
It is currently negotiating with the territorial and federal levels of government to become the single window for government services in French. Its offices would thus become the clearinghouse for information in French on all programs and services offered by the two governments. The Association would also handle delivery of certain services. The AFN has also been using the opportunities of the Web in several ways. Virtual visitors to the museum can view Inuit sculptures from all sides and read or listen to a series of legends.
