Municipal and territorial leaders gather in Cambridge Bay Feb. 8 to celebrate the Kitikmeot community’s newly-opened hamlet office.

The new 651-square-metre space houses all the community’s administrative functions in one building, its 54 employees and a new council chamber with translation booth. The $11.2 million office was jointly funded through the federal and territorial governments. (PHOTO COURTESY OF JEANNIE EHALOAK)
