Schools closed on Thursday due to 90 km/h wind forecast
Waves pushed by high winds crash against the shore in Iqaluit on Thursday morning. Environment and Climate Change Canada issued a wind warning for Nunavut’s capital, forecasting easterly winds up to 90 km/h until mid-day. Early in the morning, the Iqaluit District Education Authority posted on Facebook that all schools were to be closed in the morning because of the high winds. At 11 a.m., the DEA said that Aqsarniit Middle School, Inuksuk High School and Joamie and Nakasuk elementary schools would be closed for the remainder of the day. Schools will reopen Friday unless the DEA advises otherwise. High winds pounded the Nunavut capital throughout the day, making buildings shake and causing waves to splash over the breakwater at low tide. By 3 p.m., wind speeds had dropped to 50 km/h.
