It will be a culture shock for G7 finance ministers when they meet starting Friday in Iqaluit, in Canada’s far north.
Not only will finance minister Jim Flaherty invite them to try dog-sledding but they will dine on caribou, arctic char and seal.
There will be other challenges during the two-day summit.
