The Government of Nunavut building in Baker Lake, which is home to the Kivalliq School Operations and other territorial departments, lost its roof earlier this week. “We are in our second day of a blizzard,” Kevin Iksiktaaryuk of Aqhait Media said Nov. 29. “I don’t know when it happened or how strong the winds were but it obviously was windy enough to peel back one-third of this building.” Baker Lake continued to experience blizzard conditions Nov. 30, with winds gusting up to 80 kilometres an hour.
