Canadian-born clergy (non-Inuit) have always stayed clear of the Arctic—many qallunat (white) clergy have been from England or Ireland over the years.  Pangnirtung is important ecclesiastically, as it houses the Arthur Turner Training College, where most Inuit ordinands are trained and clergy do development courses, so the Rector of Pangnirtung would get to be widely known throughout the diocese by reputation.
