Cleaning up Iqaluit’s waterways

What a great initiative, just like the annual community cleanup. I sure wish they’d have these things on a Saturday, so that more of ones who work regular full time jobs can participate out of the goodness of our hearts without our bosses having to bankroll it! My workplace is genuinely busy, so we really can’t do this during a regular work week. I’d love to take the kids too. It’s fun when everyone is involved together, cleaning up the community and enjoying the barbecue.
