Yesterday, the Government of Canada along with the Government of Nunavut and the Hamlet of Pond Inlet, celebrated the grand opening of the Pond Inlet Community Harbour.
The Chief Public Health Officer of Nunavut is advising the residents of Pond Inlet that due to a recent increase in the number of active tuberculosis (TB) cases in the community, the Department of Health is declaring an outbreak of tuberculosis.
This major infrastructure investment comes from the New Building Canada Plan and will support economic development on Baffin Island, as well as helping to increase security of supply for food, fuel and other goods for local residents.
