Who helped create Nunavut’s flag and coat of arms?

The creation of Nunavut’s flag and coat of arms was a collaborative effort involving Inuit artists and community leaders, who worked alongside the Canadian Heraldic Authority to ensure the designs reflected authentic Inuit symbolism.1

Specifically, Meeka Kilabuk of the Nunavut Implementation Commission and Robert Watt, the chief herald of Canada, were instrumental in developing these symbols to align with the traditional tenets of heraldry. Following their development, the designs were officially approved by Queen Elizabeth II.1
