Improved gas on the way

Snowmobilers with spark plug problems will soon get relief.

In the legislative assembly on Monday, Peter Kilabuk, minister of community and government services, said that Shell Canada will deliver improved fuel treated with a special additive, to the affected communities.

Rankin Inlet East MLA Tagak Curley, Hudson Bay MLA Peter Kattuk, Arviat MLA David Alagalak, and Quttiktuq MLA Levi Barnabas had all raised concerns about gas fouling spark plugs more than usual, making some hunters afraid to go out on the land.

“Sanikiluaq is a traditional community and my constituents are dependent on a reliable supply of gasoline,” Kattuk said.
