The City of Iqaluit has declared a state of emergency due to a water shortage.

The Nunavut capital says there has been a lack of precipitation this summer and flows in the Apex River, which is Iqaluit's secondary water source, are at a 40-year low.

As a result, Lake Geraldine, which serves as the water reservoir for Iqaluit, will not be replenished before freeze up. The city says it is working to get regulatory approval to pump additional water from the nearby Unnamed Lake into the Apex River then into Lake Geraldine.Once approved, pumping is expected to take 40 days.

Hey JustinTrudeau what are you doing about this? Sending water to Ukraine will help just like sending your money will help fix problems in Canada.....

Trudeau to busy focusing on sending OUR money to nazi Ukraine

Remember when Trudeau promised First Nations they would have drinking water? Neither does he

Canada has offered up to $620 million in bilateral loans to enhance Ukraine's economic resilience in the midst of Russian aggression, of which $500 million has already been provided.

I wish some of federal government leaders stay there until the problem got solved so that in the next election they can say they solved it instead of they will fix it if they are elected.

This is a 1st.! Or is it 10,000th?

Aren't they surrounded by snow?

Family of little boy struck at Kensington Road crosswalk want city to make safety improvementsResidents who live near Kensington Road in the northwest are calling on the City of Calgary to decrease the number of lanes at the intersection where an 8-year-old boy was struck by a car in the spring. People who don't pay attention won't change no matter what we do with roads. We unfortunately need to keep our eyes open and not put trust in other people to obey the rules. It's no good being dead right. Keep your heads up and expect the unfortunate reality that people are lazy. And need that on NASCAR Drag Strip 18th St SE from 66 Ave to Quarry Park Blvd!!!!!!! Until the CPS start engaging in public safety through enforcement this will continue to happen. We are not being well served by our municipal civil service. Traffic causes more injury and fatality than crime. It also costs more to the healthcare & insurance industry.
