 Nunatsiaq News
IQALUIT — The Nunavut Housing Corp. should let municipalities and local housing authorities choose and supervise the contractors who are to build 100 social housing units in Nunavut this year, say officials with the Hamlet of Arviat.
But the Hamlet of Arviat is worried that not as many Arviat residents may be employed in the construction of the six social housing units slated for Arviat, because the NNI only calls for 30 per cent Inuit employment, while the hamlet government's contracting rules call for 80 per cent.
However, last month, during debate in the Nunavut legislature over the line item for Nunavut's 100 new social housing units, Iqaluit Centre MLA Hunter Tootoo said that in the past, communities in the Baffin have managed larger projects than the $15 million which the housing corporation plans to spend across Nunavut.
