Concept protects existing dog team areas; councillors call for boat parking to be included in plan
A plan to convert a section of Iqaluit’s West 40 area for industrial use was approved Tuesday by the city’s planning and development committee.
The plan would turn a mostly unoccupied wetland area, located between the airport and causeway, into lots that businesses would be able to use for industrial purposes.

The concept also protects areas where dog teams are kept.
