@Maqaiti Is there anything being done to determine at what point our water became unsafe? 4 days ago it was safe and now pregnant women cannot bathe in it..
I have a high risk pregnancy and the City’s lack of effort towards or communication about Iqaluit’s water problem is very concerning. People are continuing to report smells of gasoline or diesel, NOT chlorine, in our water. There are babies drinking this.
Would really appreciate some clear messaging from someone official re: Iqaluit water. Don't drink trucked water? Utilidor water? Both? Seriously... WTF?! We have two customer bases here. Trucked water hasn't been stinky as far as I know. Do better.

The word subsistence is not in our land claims agreement. We should not use the term to give legitimacy to its inherent limitations. Our harvesting & hunting rights are fully inclusive & progressive to include trade and commercialization rights. We are entitled to economies.
