Land of many languages

These signs are common across the NWT in government offices. We do have 10 official languages, after all!

Hey, those are MY signs! They’re in all (most?) Department of Justice offices across the NWT.

Sorry if I freaked you out on the phone. I’ve been reading your blogs for months and feel like I know you. I lived in Inuvik for three and a half years (including two years at the CBC station there) and completely understand how you feel.
