The City of Iqaluit has begun its annual spring snow removal operations as temperatures rise in Nunavut’s capital.
Crews are clearing accumulated snow from various areas and transporting it to designated dumping sites over the coming weeks, a public service announcement issued Friday said.
Residents are urged to exercise caution around heavy equipment and snow removal vehicles.
The announcement advises residents to maintain a safe distance from operating machinery and following posted signage or instructions from city staff.
Public cooperation is essential to ensuring the work is completed safely and efficiently, the announcement said.
A second snow-removal announcement said the back-road access to the Plateau areas will be closed on Saturday so public works staff can carry out snow removal activities. The road will be closed from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., the city said, adding that residents should plan their travel accordingly.
