WELCOME TO TOONIK TYME

APRIL, 2009

Celebrate the Song of Spring

Spring - that time of the year when the sun returns to the Arctic, the bitter cold surrenders and the days start getting longer. Since 1965, residents of Iqaluit have been celebrating it with Toonik Tyme - a week of games, music, competition and feasting. No matter who you are, you'll find lots to see and do during Toonik Tyme.

Toonik Tyme was founded by a group of community leaders in 1964 as a way to attract tourism to the north and put Iqaluit, known then as Frobisher Bay, on the map. Since then, Toonik Tyme has become a community tradition; something residents of Iqaluit look forward to every year. Although there have been many changes to the festival since then, Toonik Tyme is still going strong over four decades later!
