The City of Iqaluit Plans for New Civic Infrastructure

The City of Iqaluit is moving forward with the planning of new facilities. The development of new Recreation Facilities, a new City Hall and a new Emergency and Protective Services Centre are being considered. A feasibility study and a business plan are underway and will be completed by the fall of 2011.

The project will provide the City with a long term plan for these facilities that will ensure an effective and efficient use of land and financial resources. It will enable priority projects, such as a new Aquatic Centre, to proceed as quickly as possible. It will identify opportunities for partnerships, funding and revenue generation as well as ensure that the recommended solutions reflect the views and needs of the residents of the community. The project will also give us a clear implementation plan to ensure the development of these new facilities.

There have been opportunities for residents to provide feedback through various consultation sessions during each step of the project. If you would like to provide us with your thoughts or suggestions, please fill out a feedback form and send it to us (click on “Feedback form”).
