HTO building to go ahead

The new two-storey office building planned for the Amarok Hunters and Trappers Organization next to the Nunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum building on Sinaa St. may go ahead, but with a few changes, city council decided at this week’s meeting.

The council said the building needs to be closer to the road than proposed, even if this means losing a bit of floor space, although it did approve a variance on one metre to the minimum lot length frontage requirement of 35 metres.

The council also said nine parking spaces instead of required 10 would be acceptable for the new HTO building and store.
