Welcome to The City of Iqaluit:
It's hard to imagine anywhere in Canada with greater prospects. The city's alive with the anything's-possible
attitude of a young community. Bursting with new growth, exciting economic and social opportunities, this bustling
Arctic capital is home to a diverse mix of people enjoying the leading edge of development and phenomenal potential.
Young and old are working to create a future that will preserve the strengths of traditional culture, while
embracing the surging changes of the 21st century.
Even though it's located on the remote Arctic tundra, Iqaluit aims to be every inch a capital city, with the amenities
and quality of life to rival any in Canada. Iqaluit's economy-based mainly on a government that has expanded rapidly since
the city became the capital of Nunavut in 1999-is growing by leaps and bounds. The city's infrastructure is developing at
a steady clip, trying to catch up with population growth. As well as being Canada's newest and most northerly capital,
Iqaluit is also Canada's fastest growing community.
Mission Statement
Working together with our citizens, we will create a sustainable and environmentally responsible Arctic capital.
By respecting our rich historical and cultural heritage, we will succeed in forging a community government that
empowers our citizens to participate in positive community development.
We strive to ensure that the services we provide meet the needs and aspirations of young and old, Inuit and non-Inuit,
long-time and new residents, business owners and employees. We welcome your comments and hope that you will participate
fully in our community.
Grow with us, and help shape the city of the future.
