On behalf of the City of Iqaluit and the Iqaluit City Council, Mayor Kenny Bell offers his condolences on the death of Nunatsiaq news’ long-time Nunatsiaq News editor, Jim Bell.
“We are dearly saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Jim Bell – a prominent journalistic voice who spent the majority of his life dedicated to the North and putting issues and concerns of Nunavummiut at the forefront in his work,” said Mayor Bell. “I’m holding your family in my heart right now.”
The City would like to advise residents that City offices and public buildings will be closed to the public on Wednesday, September 01, 2021 due to the city-wide water shutdown.
