Memorandum of understanding asks Ottawa for dependable funding and northern voices to be included in defence planning

The mayors of Canada’s three territorial capitals have put pen to paper in a joint call to the federal government for money to upgrade their municipal infrastructure.

Iqaluit Mayor Solomon Awa announced in January his plan to travel to Whitehorse to sign a memorandum of understanding with Yellowknife Mayor Ben Hendriksen and Whitehorse Mayor Kirk Cameron.

Iqaluit city council voted to approve those plans in February.
