Histoire et culture locales:

It is the southernmost community on the Nunavut mainland and is close to the geographical centre of Canada. Arviat is a traditional Inuit community, having the third largest population in Nunavut, behind Rankin Inlet and the capital, Iqaluit. Arviat is currently growing at a faster rate than Rankin Inlet, however. From the 2001 census to the 2006 census there was a population increase of 8.5%.
Hunting and fishing are very active in the community; they are the primary source of sustenance. Three local stores, Padlei Co-op, Northern Stores and EPLS, carry a wide range of products.
