More than $10 million pumped into Inuvik’s infrastructure
Money will support upgrades to core water and wastewater infrastructure, including new water tower, bulk water station
The federal government will spend up to $5.44 million to support infrastructure development in the Town of Inuvik.
Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency’s investment will be matched by the Town of Inuvik, for a total project value of $10.89 million over three years.
The funding will support upgrades to core water and wastewater infrastructure, including the construction of a new water tower and bulk water station, as well as the rehabilitation of the town’s sewage lagoon system.
Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations Rebecca Alty stated in a release that these improvements will also support the Department of National Defence’s continued presence in Inuvik.
The Minister stated that by strengthening municipal infrastructure capacity and reliability, this dual-use project will support future growth, Defence Team presence, and community and economic development.
It will also help position Inuvik as a key hub for northern development and Arctic security.
