Creation and History


The Order was created by the passage of the Order of Nunavut Act in late 2009. The award is modeled on the other Orders of the Canadian Provinces. Inductees are entitled to use the postnominal letters "O.Nu.".[1] As of 2015 the Order is not included in the Canadian order of precedence, as it is an unofficial order and not recognized by the Canadian Crown.



Eligibility and Advisory Committee


A maximum of three individuals may be inducted by the Commissioner of Nunavut each year. An advisory committee consisting of the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut, the Senior Judge of the Nunavut Court of Justice and the President of Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated. Like other Provincial Orders active politicians and judges cannot be appointed to the Order while in office.[1] Like the National Order of Quebec the award is presented in the territories Parliament. Although the Commissioner of the territory bestows the award, he or she is not automatically a Member of the Order ex-officio.
