Iqaluit improves boat ramp

qaluit boaters will have an easier time launching and dragging up their vessels on the causeway, thanks to recent upgrades.

The city poured four inches of new gravel over the rocky boat ramp, with funds provided by the Government of Nunavut.

“The causeway has been continuously deteriorating,” said Coun. Glenn Williams, who explained that erosion reduced the ramp to “nothing but boulders.”

Williams said the hunters he spoke with were impressed.

“The way one person put it to me was, ‘The city did a good thing this time.’”
