CCGS Louis S. St.-Laurent pulls into Iqaluit
The Canadian Coast Guard ship Louis S. St.-Laurent sits anchored off Iqaluit’s deepsea port on Wednesday morning, right after its arrival. It’s Canada’s largest multi-mission icebreaker, according to the coast guard website. It is named after Canada’s twelfth prime minister, who led a Liberal government from 1948 to 1957.

Pipework forces detour around Sivumugiaq Street
Construction equipment is in place on Sivumugiaq Street (formerly Federal Road) in Iqaluit and concrete barriers are in place to mark a road closure the city says will be in effect until Nov. 17. The road closure is needed to allow the laying of a pipe for the City of Iqaluit’s new municipal services garage, said city spokesperson Kent Driscoll. The closure took effect Sunday. It forces drivers to detour around the construction area by using Ungalliqpaat Crescent and Ukkivik Lane. Local traffic will still be able to access the closed portion of Sivumugiaq Street.

Protesters in Iqaluit march for a Gaza ceasefire
About 30 people gathered at Iqaluit’s Four Corners on Nov. 4 to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. Protesters marched from Four Corners to the legislature, then back to Four Corners. Jennifer Lane said she organized the protest because as a mother and person with a lineage of oppressed people, she had to do something. “We are watching a real-time genocide of an oppressed people take place … if we stay silent, we lose our humanity,” said Lane, who is Barbadian and Metis. On Oct. 7, Hamas, a Palestinian militant group that controls the Gaza Strip, carried out a surprise attack on Israel, killing approximately 1,400 people. In response, the Israeli government launched a military bombardment of Gaza. More than 10,000 Palestinians have been killed since Oct. 7, including more than 4,000 children, according to Gaza’s health ministry. The heads of several United Nations bodies have called for an immediate ceasefire. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called for “humanitarian pauses” in the conflict, but not a ceasefire.
