Funding supports projects in the community that will improve safety and preserve the pristine environment
Canadians understand the value of protecting and highlighting authentic places that showcase Canada's pristine landscapes. In Nunavut, Pond Inlet is considered one of the "Jewels of the North" with its scenic landscapes and abundant wildlife. The community is a popular destination and a frequent stop for cruise ship passengers sailing through the Northwest Passage, or visiting the nearby Sirmilik National Park.
Today, the Honourable Dan Vandal, Minister of Northern Affairs, PrairiesCan and CanNor announced the Government of Canada is investing $398,439 to support projects in Pond Inlet that make the community more eco-friendly and improve safety, making it an even more attractive place for visitors to enjoy.
Funding will be used by the Hamlet of Pond Inlet to install lighting along pathways and each household will also receive eco-friendly garbage bins to help make the community cleaner and improve waste management.
