The French presence in Nunavut .: SF31-134/13-2016E-PDF

"The first Francophones to come to the area that would become Nunavut were members of whaling crews in the 1800s. In the 1970s, the federal government opened regional offices with bilingual staff in Frobisher Bay. In 1981, the organization that is now the Association des francophones du Nunavut was founded. The first French mother tongue education program started in 1993 (Grade 1 to 6). Nunavut was created in 1999. Nunavut’s only French-language school was opened in 2001. The Commission scolaire francophone du Nunavut was created in 2004"--History, p. [1].
