The recent makeover of the Centennial Flame on Parliament Hill cost taxpayers at least $845,000, with almost every piece of the original 1966 monument now replaced with newer materials. The Arctic territory came into existence in 1999, long after the popular centennial project was completed. Nunavut is now represented on the Centennial Flame, with an emblem cast in bronze. The original Centennial Flame was considered a temporary, one-year installation for 1967 but proved so popular it was kept in place. CBC News obtained the Hucker report and other information on the Centennial Flame renovation under the Access to Information Act.
