The federal government is investing $2 million for critical improvements to drinking water treatment facilities in Nunavut.
This was announced by Minister Dan Vandal and Nunavut's Community and Government Services Minister David Joanasie.
The funding will be used to develop proposals for upgrading the drinking water treatment facilities in Clyde River, Coral Harbour, and Igloolik. Part of this will be studies on design options, cost estimates, and technical aspects.
Additionally, the design and construction phases for upgrades to drinking water treatment facilities in Arctic Bay, Grise Fiord, Pond Inlet, Rankin Inlet, and Sanikiluaq can now begin, following the completion of an additional planning phase project. This project received a joint investment from the federal and territorial governments.
