Wanted: clean airports

Earlier this year, janitorial services for Nunavik’s police stations and airports were handed over to the building maintenance section of the KRG’s administration department.

“It hasn’t been that successful,” admitted Joe Lance, director of the administration department.

Since the recent retirement of Mary Duncan, who cleaned Kuujjuaq’s airport daily for 33 years, this airport has become littered with trash and dirty.

“The airport is the welcoming point to our communities,” Lance said.

The KRG plans to strike agreements with the municipalities so they assume responsibility for the KRG buildings in their communities.
