Nain Inuit ICG

We've been getting the news from AngajukKak's in Nunatsiavut and ULM about what's going on in their community, and today we spoke with Nain's Sarah Erickson.

She says they've just hired six people to make Nain beautiful again by conducting their fall clean-up.

Erikson says construction of the new subdivision is just about complete, and the contractors are now putting in new valve chambers like the one that was placed next to the intersection by David Dicker's house.

She says new windows and shingles for the roof will replace the old ones at the community hall.

And the money they received a couple of years ago for the arena is finally being used to construct an extension on to the Husky Center to house the Zamboni and also provide storage space for the recreation division.

Erickson says they are just about to start the first faze of the Trouser Lake water supply project.

She says they have the money to start the surveying and pre-engineering design within the next couple of weeks.

Erikson says the tender is up this afternoon for a new loader, and they should hopefully receive it before the end of the shipping season.

Woodwards Group has applied to replace the residential trailer where a Woodward's employee lives with a new one, and put it by the gas station.

However, the Inuit Community Government currently does not allow residential development in any industrial zone.

Erikson says the town will go through a public hearings process to decide on Woodward's application to locate the trailer in an industrial zone.

On October 21st, Erikson says they will hold another regular council meeting, and as always, it is open to the public.
