City of Iqaluit

Published purpose

The City of Iqaluit, Department of Recreation recently completed the community's new 10 year Recreation Master Plan. One of the key recommendations coming from this document was to better utilize the natural surroundings, year round, in the immediate vicinity of the city. At present, there exists a number of formal and informal walking, hiking, snowmobile and ski trails in and around Iqaluit. This plan not only builds on the work of the Recreation Master Plan, but also the active development and enhancement that the Recreation Department has currently underway. An interactive Wayfinding design is currently being developed, and three small shovel-ready projects have been prepared to develop two existing areas of high use (trail upgrades, fill and seating.) These will be completed in-house, in the summer of 2022.
