West 40 Industrial Subdivision

Project Description

The City of Iqaluit is advancing plans for the West 40 Industrial Subdivision. This project will address the community’s growing demand for industrial land by creating new, serviced lots to support local business development and long-term economic growth. Planning began in late 2023 and includes site investigations, drainage and stormwater planning, and community engagement to ensure the subdivision is designed in a way that reflects local needs, respects traditional uses, and provides sustainable infrastructure for the future.

Incorporating Traditional Knowledge and Local Input

The West 40 Industrial Subdivision Concept Plan was developed in consultation with a range of stakeholders, including Iqaluit Qimussiqtiit Katimajingit, Amaruq Hunters and Trappers Association, and Nunavut Parks and Special Places. These important stakeholders and areas are formally recognized in the planning process, and the concept plan reflects their input to ensure their needs are supported.
