what is nunavut?
Nunavut is Canadaâs largest and most northerly province. It comprises part of the mainland and a huge scattering of islands. This region is the 5th largest inter-country land area in the world. Nunavut is very sparsely populated with a population of just 33,000 and a population density of 0.02 people per square kilometer (0.052 per square mile). This was, however, an 8.3% increase on the 2006 census; a much higher increase than the average increase across Canada.
