The Government of Nunavut’s Education Department and the Taloyoak District Education Authority say they will hold a grand opening for the new Pangniq High School on Friday, Oct. 16. Invited guests will have a private tour at 1:30 p.m., followed by the ceremony at 2 p.m., a community feast at 3:30 p.m. and closing at 5:30 p.m. Source↗

The school is already in use: the department says students began the school year there on Aug. 24. The ceremony is a public milestone for a completed education facility, not an announcement of new funding or a future construction approval. Source↗

Residents can attend the 2 p.m. ceremony and 3:30 p.m. community feast on Oct. 16. The Government of Nunavut has not published further event-location or attendance details in its notice. Source↗

The territorial government had budgeted $31.5 million for construction of a new Taloyoak high school in its 2025–26 budget address. That earlier budget figure is a planned capital allocation and should not be described as the final project cost. Source↗
