City approves travel to the Netherlands

The city has agreed to pay $9,000 to send one staff member and one councillor to the Netherlands for an information session on community energy planning in terms of sustainable community development, and local and national economic and environmental benefits.

It’s expected the two participants from Iqaluit will learn from Dutch officials in the public and private sector how they have used policies, programs and technologies to create sustainable communities.

The balance of the trip will be subsidized by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
