The City of Iqaluit wishes to inform residents that the precautionary boil water advisory for all of Iqaluit –both piped and trucked water services- remains in place.

The City of Iqaluit would like to advise residents of the road closures and traffic control measures being implemented along Allanngua Street - from Akilliq Drive. This will allow for road repairs to be conducted.
The City of Iqaluit would like to advise residents of our plan to haul heavy equipment and machinery on May 3, 2023. This relates to the planned relocation of the Fire Training structure from the current location to the new site by the Landfill.
With spring here and the snow melting rapidly, the City of Iqaluit would like to remind residents of their responsibilities under By-Law 924, the Domesticated Animal By-Law.
Residents are required by the By-Law to clean up their dog’s feces, whether it is located on their own property or elsewhere. While walking a dog, you are required to carry something capable of collecting your dog’s feces (i.e. pet waste bags).
With spring weather conditions upon us, the City of Iqaluit would like to remind residents of some of the dangers melting conditions can cause, especially for the younger members of our community.
Ditches that were covered with snow –and safe to walk over just a few days ago- can now be hollow underneath due to flowing melt water. For an adult, getting stuck waist deep in a ditch is an annoyance. For small children, it can be quite dangerous.
City of Iqaluit Public Works wishes to inform residents that some of the snowmobile trails inside the City are becoming impassable due to the melting conditions.
City crews have begun clearing ditches to prepare for the spring melt. That means, some of the previously accessible snowmobile trails may become impassable. Please use caution while travelling on the City trails.
