Territory to receive new units through Build Canada Homes agency announced Sunday by prime minister
The federal government will partner with Nunavut Housing Corp. to build 700 homes in the territory through the new Build Canada Homes agency — but so far, few details have been released.
Construction is underway Tuesday on Uquutaq Society’s new 44-bed low-barrier shelter in Iqaluit. It will replace the current 17-bed shelter on the Road to Apex. The frame of the new building is up on the former site of Nunavut Country Food at 158 Nipisa St. and the project is expected to be completed in 2026. (Photo by Arty Sarkisian)
