Tundra Ridge: committee recommendation, council award and timeline questions
A committee recommendation, a council award, then questions about the schedule. We connect each stage of the decision.
Follow the timelineONGOING INVESTIGATION · WATER + HOUSING
Water limits housing. What does Iqaluit’s system have capacity to support?
The City says constrained water supply limits new housing. What the public record still doesn’t show is how many additional homes the system can safely serve, or how planned upgrades will change that capacity.

WHY I’M DOING THIS
A decision is one day. Its consequences can take years.
Our local newsrooms cover a lot of ground. Following City Hall full time and connecting today’s decision to a promise, budget or debate from years ago is a big job. I started City Hall Record to help keep that thread visible, alongside the work local journalists already do.
I’ve served as an Iqaluit councillor and mayor. That history helps me know where to look and what questions to ask; it doesn’t make my own record exempt from scrutiny. Here, the sources come first, experience and opinion are labelled, and corrections matter.

WHY I’M DOING THIS
“I’ve sat in the chair, read the packages and asked the questions. This site is where I’ll separate what the record proves, what experience tells me and what is simply my opinion.”
