Online Dispensary in Igloolik, NU

Igloolik has been continuously inhabited since roughly 2000 BC, making it one of the longest continuously occupied sites in the Canadian Arctic, and the community leans hard into that deep cultural identity today. It’s home to Artcirq, a modern Inuit circus troupe blending traditional throat singing and drum dancing with acrobatics, that performed at the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Every June, the hamlet hosts the Rockin’ Walrus Arts Festival, drawing musicians, dancers and performers for several days of shows during the weeks when the sun barely sets. Igloolik is also where director Zacharias Kunuk filmed Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner, the first feature film written, directed and acted entirely in Inuktitut, which won the Camera d’Or at Cannes in 2001.

The community’s permanent outside institutions arrived gradually, a Roman Catholic mission in the 1930s, a Hudson’s Bay Company post by the end of that decade, and the modern hamlet grew quickly through the late 1950s and 1960s as federal services expanded across the Arctic. Igloolik officially incorporated in 1976. Today it’s home to over 2,000 residents, making it one of only five Nunavut communities with a population above 2,000. Sitting at the eastern entrance to Fury and Hecla Strait, it remains reachable only by air or seasonal sealift. Weed Market ships to Igloolik addresses the same way it does anywhere else in Nunavut, fast, tracked and completely discreet.

What to Know About Buying Cannabis in Igloolik, NU

• Igloolik operates under a restricted system for alcohol, with a locally elected Alcohol Education Committee overseeing purchase and import, and Nunavut communities can apply a similar restricted or prohibited system to cannabis through a local plebiscite.
• Nunavut runs cannabis retail through a single territorial commission, with almost no physical stores outside Iqaluit, meaning most residents order by mail or air cargo regardless of where they live.
• Cannabis pricing across Nunavut runs notably higher than in southern Canada due to the added cost of shipping into and within the territory.
• With physical cannabis retail effectively limited to one location anywhere in Nunavut, Weed Market’s mail order model works the same way Igloolik residents already order most other goods.
