Blizzard information – (867) 979-5300Due to today's cold temperatures and windy conditions, the City of Iqaluit is rescheduling the Christmas Parade. The parade, originally planned for December 13, will now take place on Saturday, December 20 at 12:00 PM.
Please be advised of a water shutdown on December 15, from approximately 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM to allow for necessary water infrastructure work.
Location of water interruption: 89-99, 100s, 200s, 300-343.
The City of Iqaluit is advising residents in the 5200 area to expect short-term dips in water pressure between 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. over the next week, while City staff investigate an automation-related issue.
At 7:30 a.m. this morning, a brief drop in pressure was recorded, consistent with reported issues from this isolated area. Water pressure is currently back to normal, and there is no indication of a wider service interruption.
The City of Iqaluit Recreation Department invites the community to celebrate Christmas events with their families.
Boats play an essential role in life in Iqaluit – for travel, hunting, and recreation. As our community grows and more residents rely on boats, the City of Iqaluit is exploring the development of a designated boat storage area.
We want to hear from you!
