A $77-Million Harbour for Arctic Bay, First Announced in 2019

Nunavut MP Lori Idlout announced a $77-million federal investment to build a small craft harbour in Arctic Bay — a project first announced in 2019 and initially expected to be completed by 2025. The CBC reports the new money is part of a $106-million commitment the government made in 2024. The original completion target has passed, and construction funding is now being attached to a project whose timeline has visibly stretched. Infrastructure in the Arctic is expensive and slow; this is the paperwork of both at once.
