A name search at QRZ.com of "NU" (the postal code for Nunavut) returns
the following Canadian operators:

VY0AB  	Foreman Michael James P O BOX 300 POND INLET NU X0A 0S0
VY0AC 	Chubbs Adam E P O BOX 580 IQALUIT NU X0A 0H0
VY0AW 	Whittaker Laurence Allan BOX 100 KUGLUKTUK NU X0B 0E0
VY0BC 	Chisholm William J BOX 2451 IQALUIT NU X0A 0H0
VY0CF 	Shouldice Michael P O BOX 922 RANKIN INLET NU X0C 0G0
VY0DPH 	Hubbell Dennis Patrick BOX 102 ARCTIC BAY NU X0A 0A0
VY0DU 	Durey Orin BOX 38 BAKER LAKE NU X0C 0A0
VY0DX 	James Robert 143 MITTIMA STREET POND INLET NU X0A 0S0
VY0FB 	Clark Philip BOX 2005 IQALUIT NU X0A 0H0
VY0GO 	McKay Brian PO BOX 565 RANKIN INLET NU X0C 0G0
VY0HL 	Horlick Larry L BOX 1082 IQALUIT NU X0A 0H0
VY0HR 	Richards Hal BOX 1542 IQALUIT NU X0A 0H0
VY0JP 	Punshon James P O BOX 477 RANKIN INLET NU X0C 0G0
VY0PB 	Baril Peter R BOX 87 IQALUIT NU X0A 0H0
VY0PS 	Semotiuk Peter BOX 40 CAMBRIDGE BAY NU X0B 0C0
VY0SNO 	Horlick Larry L BOX 1082 IQALUIT NU X0A 0H0
VY0YY 	Reid Garth P O BOX 2424 IQALUIT NU X0A 0H0
VY0RCM 	McMahon Ronald P O BOX 432 PANGNIRTING NU X0A 0R0

My guess is that these are all the non-expedition VY0s.  VY0PW has a 
callbook address, but it is in Saskatchewn (?).  I also found this 
expedition call sign in the QRZ.com database:

VF0X  	Nunavut Territory VY0 DXpedition 2007 IOTA NA 196 GRID FO06 CQ Zone 02 QSL via VE3IKV Green Stamps please


A search on DX Summit for "VY0" shows that the most active native VY0 on
HF in 2007 has been VY0AB.
