What an incredible day in Halifax Harbour!

We were deeply honoured to take part in the naming and celebration of the CCGS Naalak Nappaaluk - a new Canadian Coast Guard science vessel carrying a name with profound meaning and legacy. Naalak Nappaaluk was a highly respected Inuk Elder, knowledge keeper, and educator whose impact continues to be felt across Nunavik and beyond.

Pictured is the ship’s sponsor, Qiallak Nappaaluk Qumaaluk, Naalak’s youngest child, whose lifelong dedication to education, culture, and community continues that legacy in such a powerful way.

Wela’lioq to our incredible drummers, Eastern Eagle, and to everyone who helped bring O Canada, sung by Kalolin Johnson, to life in our language. Today was more than a ceremony — it was a beautiful moment of connection, culture, pride, and respect. Indigenous voices, leadership, and community coming together to honour the past while looking toward the future.
