Christmas Trees at the Legislature

I had the awesome opportunity to go to the legislature on Friday to pick up some boxes from our previous Minister's office, the Honorable Mr. Curley. There was just a big cabinet shuffle and we ended up with a new Minister for the Nunavut Housing Corporation. As a matter of interest, Jacquie's Ministry, the Environment received a new Minister out of the shuffle too the Honorable James Arreak.
Anyway, while I was at the legislature, I was intrigued with the very nicely decorated trees. There was a number of them in the foyer. In chatting with the security guard I found out that every year all of the Public Schools in Iqaluit and area have the opportunity to set up and decorate a tree in the foyer of the Legislature. The Premier and Speaker of the house, greet the children from the schools as they are decorating the trees. Apparently it is quite an event that the children in the area look forward to each year!
