This section is dedicated to Inukshuks, which celebrates Canada's aboriginal heritage, and is a symbol of hope and friendship.
For centuries, the Inuit people of Canada's Arctic stacked rock in human form to create the inukshuk, a steadfast guidepost that provided direction across the vast horizons of the North. Over time, the inukshuk has become a symbol of hope and friendship, an eternal expression of the hospitality of a nation that warmly welcomes the people of the world with open arms every day. From Nunavut to Newfoundland to the shores of Vancouver's English Bay, the inukshuk offers the welcome of a nation shaped and inspired by our diverse cultures. With its arms reaching for the sky, the inukshuk is rooted in the land that supports our lives and lifts our souls. |
