The road is partially closed to allow for installation of water and sewer infrastructure for the new recovery centre being built across from the Arctic Winter Games Arena. A detour is in place and the road remains open to two-way traffic. (Photo by Daron Letts)
Willie Adams, Canada’s first Inuk senator, is invested into the Order of Canada Thursday at a ceremony in Rideau Hall. Adams is pictured with Gov. Gen. Mary Simon during the investiture ceremony at Rideau Hall in Ottawa. Adams was appointed to the Senate in 1977, representing the Northwest Territories. He became Nunavut’s first senator when it split from the Northwest Territories to become a territory of its own in 1999. Adams retired from the Senate in 2009, at the mandatory age of 75.
