And what about Cape Christian?

James Arreak, the MLA for Uqqummiut, wants to know what’s happening at the former weather station at Cape Christian, located near the community of Clyde River, and who will pay for the clean-up: the federal government or Nunavut.

Arreak said his constituents are worried about the impact that this contaminated site is having on wildlife and waterways in the area and “through the wildlife, the impact on the people.”

The GN’s environment minister Olayuk Akesuk promised action on the clean-up and told Arreak that another round of negotiations to discuss land ownership is scheduled for this month.

“I’m sure we’ll have a better idea on the Cape Christian site then,” he said.

Arreak also officially tabled photos of the site so no one forgets what Cape Christian looks like.
