Photo: Shack burns out in Iqaluit

Here’s the burned-out remains of a two-year-old residential shack that Iqaluit resident Joe Teemotee was allowed to erect on the back part of the lot occupied by the Arnakallak Building, which once housed the Iqaluit courthouse. The structure was gutted in a fire April 17. This is the second version of the shack to go up in flames.

Police have detained a “person from Iqaluit” but have not announced any charges. Read more on Nunatsiaqonline.ca. (PHOTO BY JIM BELL)
