One of Ottawa’s premiere events, our A Taste of the Arctic draws hundreds of foodies and influential decision-makers seeking to sample Northern culture and cuisine.
The event offers a selection of uniquely Arctic ingredients such as seal, caribou, arctic char, arctic berries, arctic shrimp, and muskox—among other options.
It also showcases Inuit culture and talented performers demonstrating modern connections to the long-standing traditions that keep Inuit culture vibrant.
The Jerry Cans create music inspired by their hometown of Iqaluit, Nunavut, and life in the Canadian Arctic. With a unique mix of traditional Inuit throat singing and roots-rock sung in the Indigenous language of Inuktitut, The Jerry Cans are a distinctly Northern sound. The band is passionate about helping to preserve the Inuktitut language and are committed to challenging common misconceptions about life in the North. Their reputation for infectious, high-energy performances has audiences across the globe catching a glimpse of life in the Arctic.
