iqaluit, nunavut, incorporated as a city in 2001, population 7, 740 (2016 c), 6, 699 (2011 c). iqaluit is the capital and largest community in canada’s newest territory, nunavut. it is also the territory' s only city. iqaluit is situated at the northeast head of frobisher bay, on southern baffin island. in an area long used by the inuit and their ancestors, it is surrounded by hills close to the sylvia grinnell river and looks across the bay to the mountains of the meta incognita peninsula .

most major airports are served by public transit. this consists of feeder buses running at peak frequencies ranging from five to fifteen minutes or less (toronto, montreal, winnipeg, ottawa). service may be spotty or nonexistent late at night or on weekends if you are outside the major centres. to travel to the city centre / downtown, one or more connections are required in all cities except vancouver, montreal, winnipeg and ottawa, making a taxi or shuttle a better idea for large groups or those with a lot of luggage .

the government of canada is committed to accountability. to this end, provinces and territories will be required to attest that federal funding received under the integrated bilateral agreements does not displace their infrastructure spending on each of the asset classes funded through the four streams of the new program. provincial and territorial governments will still have the flexibility to move infrastructure investments between projects within the same asset class as required to get the most benefit from our combined investments. planned projects already identified in a provincial, territorial or municipal long - term infrastructure plan will be eligible for funding. provinces will be asked to attest that investments in municipal assets in the public transit stream do not displace municipal spending in this asset class .
halifax - home to the second largest natural harbour in the world, halifax is rich in history with architecture dating back to colonial times. the city is very compact and walkable, meaning most amenities are just a short walk away (if you' re downtown), such as the citadel hill, canadian museum of the atlantic, the public gardens (oldest park in canada), and pier 21 .
the high floor buses work well in this town. there are ruts and dips all over the roads due to the extreme temperatures experienced. first transit staff feel that low floor buses would not work in yellowknife as they would bottom out and after having driven a rental car on the city streets, i agree with them .

canada' s southern neighbour, the united states, can become a side trip from canada or even a major part of your vacation. places like niagara falls, new york state, new york city, detroit, and seattle are easily reached on public transportation or on foot in some cases. see the main article on the u. s. for entry requirements - if you need a visa be sure to apply well in advance .
we are committed to publicly report on the progress under this program in order to demonstrate how these investments are achieving measurable and concrete results for canadians. performance measures for infrastructure investments will be included in the agreements signed between the federal government and the provinces and territories. for key outcomes and results, this will include common definitions and negotiated targets. we will work collaboratively with provinces and territories to ensure that we have an effective way to measure and report on key outcomes and results over time. information on the projects funded through the program, the climate lens, and the community employment benefits reporting framework will be publicly reported on a website of the government of canada, in a way similar to the public transit infrastructure fund (ptif) and clean water and wastewater fund (cwwf) programs .
our government’s has been providing record support for public infrastructure in nunavut. marine infrastructure is very important to our communities and as m. p for nunavut i am proud to have championed this project as it will directly benefit nunavummiut. our government will continue to work with the government of nunavut to ensure infrastructure funding continues to flow in our territory as we focus on creating jobs, promoting growth, and building strong, prosperous communities across canada’s north .
as minister of economic development and transportation and mla for iqaluit - manirajak, this is truly great news. this will fundamentally change resupply here and into the communities. new marine infrastructure is crucial to improving the lives of all nunavummiut and is a vital part of the nunavut transportation strategy, ingirrasiliqta. we look forward to continuing to work with the government of canada to build marine facilities in other nunavut communities .
the nunavut final agreement between the federal government and inuit leaders was signed in 1993, setting the direction for the creation of the new territory of nunavut in 1999. two years later, iqaluit was chosen to be the territorial capital. this brought rapid change: construction and employment opportunities boomed, with a corresponding population increase (47 per cent between 1991 and 2001). today, over half of the population is inuit .
cities, towns and regions often have their own police forces, with the toronto, vancouver and montreal forces being three of the largest. some cities also have special transit police who have full police powers. some quasi - government agencies, such as universities and power utilities also employ private special police. the canadian national railway and canadian pacific railway each have their own police force .
here are some yellowknife transit shots taken during a visit on april 29 and 30th. yellowknife has 10 buses in the fleet which includes 2 cutaway buses that are only used in paratrans service. i was surprised to see the bluebird tc2000 still in service as it was not included in the yellowknife fleet survey in 2009 that was submitted to cuta and used for the cthf street side guide .
iqaluit is canada’s most northerly capital. its municipal administration consists of a mayor and eight councillors elected citywide for a four - year term. it provides the usual community services and faces the same municipal issues that confront most other canadian local administrations. what makes it different is that it serves a diverse mix of citizens who have moved there from others parts of nunavut and canada, while trying to preserve a balance between inuit traditions and more recent changes brought from the south .
as in more southerly cities, iqaluit has the full range of services, such as a modern hospital, banks, law courts, schools, day cares and service clubs. the main campus of nunavut arctic college is located here. there is also a museum, a visitors' centre, art galleries, several churches, a mosque, satellite communications and an up - to - date computer network. there is a small but vibrant francophone community with its own school and community centre .
the north (northwest territories, nunavut, yukon) the territories are some of the most remote regions on earth and constitute most of canada' s landmass. though more known for their unique fauna and landscapes, the territories also have some interesting human settlements, including dawson city, a city that looks nearly untouched from the gold rush of 1898, and iqaluit, canada' s newest territorial capital, which is home to some interestingly adaptive architecture to the harsh climate of the north .
and since the service is accessible but has high floor buses mixed in, you would call into the transit department to tell them you need a low floor on your route for a particular run. if a high floor is assigned to your route for the day, they would get a low floor off another run and ask the driver on that bus for to do your run, while the high floor driver covers the other run .
however, it is still the strength of the land that dominates life in iqaluit and the arctic. although a host of indoor programs, often sport oriented, are offered during the winter, many recreational pastimes — snowmobiling, camping, hunting, boating and hiking — are linked to the great outdoors. three nearby territorial parks (qaummaarviit, katannilik and sylvia grinnell) are accessible through local outfitters via boat, snowmobile or dog team, and people from all backgrounds enjoy the easy access to nature and northern flora and fauna .
wi - fi access is common in cities and can be found at most coffee shops, public libraries, and some restaurants. although some locations charge an excessive fee for its use, others provide free wifi, including blenz coffee houses, mcdonalds, second cup, tim horton' s, and starbucks. note that purchasing the establishment' s product is expected, even if they are charging for internet access. buying a small coffee or tea typically meets this requirement. most airports and certain via rail stations also offer free wi - fi in passenger areas. see urltoken for a partial listing of establishments offering free wifi .
by northern standards, the city is a hub of political activity. as the capital, it houses the territorial legislative assembly, all government departments and is the home for many inuit birthright organizations. for these reasons, it is the linchpin of the three nunavut regions of qikiqtaaluk (baffin), kivalliq and kitikmeot. the small satellite community of apex is five kilometres east of iqaluit. nestled around an old - style hudson' s bay company store, it came into being in the 1950s as a model village for the inuit, built by the canadian government .
bankruptcy and debt related litigation are public records that will come up in background checks and are considered character concerns - refusal is very likely unless you can make and prove a highly compelling case for it to be set aside (such as if the judgement resulted from identity theft or a disability). if this describes you, and you can afford it - discuss your situation with an immigration attorney prior to making travel plans or applying for a visa. keep in mind also that depending on the jurisdiction where the bankruptcy or litigation occurred (such as australia and the united kingdom) you may not be allowed to travel internationally at all, or may require a waiver or permission from the court .
generally the only people who legally permitted to carry handguns in public are federal, provincial, and municipal police, border services officers, wildlife officers in most provinces, sheriff' s officers in some provinces, private security guards who transport money and people who work in remote
wilderness
areas who are properly licensed. it is possible to import non - prohibited firearms such as most types of rifle and shotgun for sporting purposes like target shooting and hunting, and non - prohibited handguns for target shooting may also be imported with the correct paperwork. prohibited firearms will be seized at customs and destroyed. travellers should check with the canada firearms centre [ 61 ] and the canada border services agency [ 62 ] before importing firearms of any type before arrival .
greenland, canada' s major eastern island neighbour, despite being separated by less than 50km of water in some locations is not easily accessible from north america. the flag carrier air greenland flies from iqaluit in nunavut (yfb) to the capital nuuk (goh) twice a week from june through september. seasonal flights are also available from reykjavik, iceland (kef) and year round via copenhagen (cph). another, albeit more expensive option are the summer cruise ships originating in both the u. s. and canada. despite the relative difficulty of reaching the island, the untouched natural arctic beauty of one of the most remote places on earth makes it well worth the effort .
if your default us time is going to run out while you are in canada, and you want to return to the us direct from canada, you need to apply for a us visa with a longer time period (eg b - 1 / b - 2, or a c - 1 transit visa) before your first trip through the us. for example, if you are going to stay in canada for six months, and you transit through the us on a visa waiver, then the us will regard your six months in canada as not allowing you to return to the us without leaving north america first, as you have stayed more than 90 days in north america in total. note that in this scenario, you have not done anything wrong by visiting the us and then staying in canada for a long time, simply that the us will not allow you to return directly from canada, you have to reset their clock by leaving north america. visa waiver travellers may be able to avoid this by returning their i - 94w (green) form to their airline upon departing the us, or to the canadian immigration inspector if entering canada by land; since the us has no outbound immigration check, it' s up to the traveller to remember this .
trying to distil the climate of canada into an easy - to - understand statement is impossible, given the vast area and diverse geography within the country. overall, in most places, winters are harsh compared to much of the world, on par with northern eurasia. the most populated region, southern ontario, has a less severe climate, similar to the bordering regions of the midwestern and northeastern united states. iqaluit, the capital of nunavut, is just south of the arctic circle and remains very cold except for the months of july and august, when the july average maximum is only 12°c (54°f). on the other hand, the coastlines of british columbia are very mild for their latitude, remaining above freezing for most of winter, yet they are not far away from some of the largest mountain glaciers found on the continent .
four people — allen hayward, paul kaludjak, jim little and madeleine redfern — are running for mayor .
and three people — joanasie akumalik, ed devries and stephen mansell — are contesting one vacant council seat. akumalik, who was weathered in at cape dorset, could not attend the gathering .
each candidate was given one minute to answer questions read by moderator lynda gunn .
but only one candidate could answer any given question, making it difficult to compare their positions on issues .
hayward, a mayoral candidate and former city councillor earned the first round applause when he criticized the city’s longstanding practice of publishing the names of delinquent property taxpayers and doing little else to collect the money .
“the city has to revisit the issue of garnishing wages and having court action against people that refuse to pay because these are the same people that are a burden on our society and our community, ” he said .
“what about the guy who’s getting kicked out of the shelter at eight in the morning on a - 40 degree day? why don’t we have a place for them to go? what about the women that are abused in this town? ” he said .
his next court appearance on charges of marijuana apossession and trafficking is set for jan. 15, 2011 .
while giving his opening statement, devries urged voters to look past his reputation and vote for someone who would stand up for them .
first - time council candidate mansell responded to one of several questions on topics that aren’t within the city’s jurisdiction: a question about drug dealers .
mansell responded by saying this matter is the responsibility of the rcmp and crown lawyers .
however, he proposed more cooperation with those agencies, the expansion of emergency services, and the establishment of an anonymous tip line for iqalummiut who want to report illegal activity but don’t feel they can do that from their homes .
another non - city question went to the sole woman running for mayor, redfern, on economic development for youth, a domain which is largely the responsibility of the gn .
despite the absence of any unilingual inuktitut - speakers in the audience, mayoral candidate kaludjak answered each question in inuktitut and english, halving his effective response time .
judging by the questions drawn, it was clear that litter and sanitation were recurring concerns .
redfern said the city should put out more garbage cans, including dumpsters on the beach for hunters returning from trips, while devries said the city needs to recycle and continue shipping out scrap metal, and he recommended the city keep using the contaminated land in the west 40 area as a place to store waste .
“it’s a great spot out there right where we dumped that metal, ” he said. “the land unfortunately is contaminated and it’s going to take a huge effort to reclaim that land into any kind of green state again. so let’s not contaminate other lands. ”
redfern said there were creative solutions that other small communities in canada have implemented, such as subsidized taxis .
but little turned the bus question – as he did with other questions – toward another of his longstanding causes, the safety of non - motorists .
he said a bus route was part of that, as is removing rocks and boulders along city streets .
a question directed at hayward asked whether he would support a hotel tax, to which he replied that the last time the city had looked at it they found the matter was under the jurisdiction of the gn .
but he said he supported the idea of user fees like a hotel tax, and promised that as mayor he’d push for it with the revenues split between the city and nunavut tourism .
in a response to a later question about youth and recreation, redfern expressed concerns about the kinds of user fees that hayward said he supports .
“one of the things we also need to look is that when we do maybe impose user fees that we don’t make it inaccessible to those who cannot pay or who cannot afford, ” she said .
“it is important to remember these are also members of our community and we have to work as a community to find solutions together, ” she said .
