Gateway sign
Located 200km North of the Arcc Circle, nestled between the treeless tundra, boreal forest and
the Mackenzie Delta, the Town of Inuvik funcons as a central service hub and a key gateway to
the communies of the Beaufort Delta and Western Arcc: Aklavik, Tuktoyaktuk, Sachs Harbour,
Ulukhaktok and Paulatuk in the North and Tsiigehtchic and Fort McPherson to the South.
The Inuvik Gateway Sign was designed to echo the nature of the community and the identy of
the tradional land that we call home. Soaring ionized steel beams inspire to mimic the waving
blues and greens of the Aurora Borealis, and the winding curves throughout the Mackenzie
Delta. The base of the sign, made of Corten steel, will weather over me as it imitates neutral
browns and natural colours of the tundra and boreal forest floors within the region.
