Where Should Iqaluit Build a Boat Storage Area?

Official title: Boat Storage

Open Community Planning Housing & Communities Transportation
Iqaluit is looking for a spot to build a designated boat storage area. As more residents own boats for hunting, travel, and recreation, the city wants organized and secure storage. They're asking everyone—boat owners or not—to drop a pin on a map and share ideas about location, features, and pricing.

Why This Matters

Own a boat in Iqaluit? This could mean a proper place to store it year-round. Don't own one? Where this facility goes could affect your neighbourhood. Boats are essential for hunting and travel here, so getting storage right matters for the whole community.

What Could Change

The city could designate an official boat storage area with organized spaces and security. Pricing and access rules would be set. Depending on the location chosen, some areas of town may see more boat traffic and activity.
