Recreation and Community Services Department

The City of Iqaluit is committed to enhancing the quality of life for all Iqalungmuit. Through its community development approach to providing recreation and leisure services to the community, Iqaluit is able to offer a wide range of exciting opportunities. Sport organizations, cultural groups, businesses, not-for-profit societies and service clubs work closely with the Department to ensure that the recreational needs of the community are met.
