What new territory was created in Canada 1999?
Nunavut, a territory inhabited primarily by native Inuit people, was split off from the Northwest Territories in 1999. It includes the majority of Canada's arctic island region north and northwest of Hudson Bay.
When did Nunavut become a province in Canada?
Nunavut is not a province in Canada. It is one of three territories. It became a territory on April 1, 1999 when it split from the Northwest Territories, though the decision to become a separate territory, and boundaries were determined in the mid 90's. Nunavut was generally accepted as a location from the time around when the boundaries were set, even though it didn't gain official status until 1999. There was a lot of talk over whether Nunavut should be created as a Territory or a Province in the mid 90's. It is my understanding that it was created as a territory with the intention of one day becoming a province.
