Mascot and Colours
NAIT's mascot is the Ook. This is a shortened version of the Inuktitut word for the Snowy Owl, Ookpik. NAIT was presented this mascot in 1964 by the federal Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources, now Indian and Northern Affairs Canada. Most of NAIT's sports teams are now called the Ooks as well.

Famous quotes containing the word colours:
“So different are the colours of life, as we look forward to the future, or backward to the past; and so different the opinions and sentiments which this contrariety of appearance naturally produces, that the conversation of the old and young ends generally with contempt or pity on either side.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
