Taloyoak

Taloyoak or Talurjuaq (Inuktitut syllabics: ᑕᓗᕐᔪᐊᖅ [taloʁjuˈaq]), formerly known as Spence Bay until 1 July 1992, although the body of water on which it is situated continues to be known as Spence Bay — same as the body of water on which Iqaluit is situated continues to be known as Frobisher Bay — (2021 population 934[4]) is located on the Boothia Peninsula, in the Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut, Canada.

Taloyoak, the northernmost community in mainland Canada, in Inuktitut means "large blind", referring to a stone caribou blind or a screen used for caribou hunting.
