Jeannie Ehaloak, mayor of Cambridge Bay, centre, chairs the Nunavut Association of Municipalities’ annual general meeting in Iqaluit, Nov. 12, with Madeleine d’Argencourt, executive director of the association, and treasurer Peter Ivalu, mayor of Igloolik. Mayors and municipal directors of Nunavut’s 25 communities questioned territorial premier Peter Taptuna and two of his ministers about infrastructure concerns on the two-day conference’s opening day. The territory’s municipalities “lack resources,” said Ehaloak, “and I know the frustration that they’re going through.” (PHOTO BY PETER VARGA)
