Iqaluit: What should this street be named?

The City of Iqaluit is inviting residents to vote to choose a name for this new street which connects the Road to Apex to Aqqusariaq, the Nunavut Recovery Centre, under construction in the background. There are two options to choose from: Sagiatook Road, in honour of elder Nash Sagiatook, who named the recovery centre; and Sukaliareaq, which means “The way to Suka.” People can vote online at plan.iqaluit.ca/road. The city is also consulting elders before a name is chosen. (Photo by Jeff Pelletier)

Lonely iceberg floats to Iqaluit

One lonely iceberg floats on the water near Iqaluit. It was visible west of Long Island in Frobisher Bay for much of a cloudy and windy Thursday in the Nunavut capital. Iqaluit could be in for rain on Oct. 19 as the temperature is expected to rise to 3 C, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada. (Photo by Jeff Pelletier)
