Hats off to City of Iqaluit work crews

The City of Iqaluit has been under fire of late from many quarters.

However, there are many who work for the city who we never hear about. They are the unsung heros who bring us water and haul away our sewage. They get very little press and yet perform vital tasks.

We on trucked service take for granted that our water tanks are always full and the sewage tank is empty. It seems we give little thought to those men and women who deliver these services.

It’s amazing to see, in this day and age, truck helpers running from house to house, getting their work done as quickly as possible. The recent terrible weather conditions were a good example of how tough these people are. Very few people would ever think of going outside in those winds, and still, the water is delivered.

Let’s take our hats off to those crews. But not for too long. Your head will get cold.
