A new water reservoir system for Iqaluit and upgrades to the city’s water distribution system will be built over the coming years, thanks to roughly $214 million in federal funding.
“I feel like some of my grey hair might be turning back to brown,” quipped Iqaluit Mayor Kenny Bell Friday morning, following an announcement from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about the funding.
“I could go on a long conversation about how this is going to change our city — because it will. It’s going to give us a foundation to build on, something we’ve been lacking for a number of years.”
