File / Document

Nunavut community prices are determined by calculating the average cost based on size in all stores for each community. Items are not separated by brand names. The survey was prepared by the Nunavut Bureau of Statistics and Statistics Canada. Not all items from from the Canada Food Price Basket are included due to a lack of comparable data in Nunavut.
