Snowmobile thieves
still at large
A 2003 Polaris Classic
500 was found stripped to the bone on the Road to Nowhere on July 28, seven
months after it was stolen from Iqaluit's Lego Land area.
When found last month,
only the chassis remained. RCMP were able to confirm the serial number and identify
it as the remains of the missing snowmobile. Iqaluit RCMP are still looking
for clues as to who is responsible.
A large search - in Iqaluit
and several other Nunavut communities - was unsuccessful at the time of the
theft.

Water pressure may
nosedive
If you've noticed a drop
in water pressure or sediment in your water, it may be because the Iqaluit Fire
Department is testing water flow to hydrants around town during the month of
August.
The fire department tests
hydrants annually to find out how much water pressure is flowing, and how much
water remains in the system for firefighting purposes.
