Blizzard leaves people in Iqaluit without city services, including water delivery
IQALUIT, Nunavut — City officials in Iqaluit suspended all municipal services this weekend until further notice due to extreme weather conditions.
The services, which include water that’s trucked into homes and waste management, have been on hold since Saturday in Nunavut’s capital.
Environment Canada issued a blizzard warning for the city due to northwesterly wind gusts up to 60 km/h that are causing blowing snow and reduced visibility, although that warning was ended later Sunday.
Frank Reardon, a resident of Iqaluit, said the sky began to clear before sunset on Sunday at 2:08 p.m. But he said the truck that was supposed to deliver water to his home on Friday never made it due to the bad weather.
