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:
“When we reflect on our past sentiments and affections, our thought is a faithful mirror, and copies its objects truly; but the colours which it employs are faint and dull, in comparison of those in which our original perceptions were clothed.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
