Community Clean Up: Nature Is Healing. Let’s Help.

June 10, 2026 – Iqaluit, Nunavut

 

The City of Iqaluit invites residents, businesses, organizations, and visitors to take part in this year’s Community Clean Up on Friday, June 19, 2026 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

The snow has melted, and the familiar crunch underfoot is now significantly less seasonal.

Local wildlife and the wind have done some rearranging over the winter. Community Clean Up is our chance to rearrange it back into garbage bags.

Bags, gloves, and supplies will be available starting at 9:00 AM outside the Iqaluit Centennial Library/Unikkaarvik Visitor Centre. Grab supplies, pick a spot, fill a bag, tie it off, and leave it roadside for City staff to collect.

Governments, businesses, and organizations are encouraged to give employees time to participate. It’s a great way to support the community, spend time outside, and replace emails with garbage bags even for only 30 minutes, it makes a difference.

A volunteer appreciation cookout will take place from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM outside the Library/Visitor Centre, featuring hotdogs, drinks, and random prize draws for participants. Honestly, not a bad way to spend a Friday.

In case of bad weather, the alternate clean up date is Friday, June 26, 2026.

The City thanks everyone for helping make Iqaluit cleaner, brighter, and significantly less crunchy.
