The City of Iqaluit plans to develop regulations for the construction of cabins and recreational structures on unleased municipal land.

Until that process is completed, city council is freezing construction of cabins on unleased municipal land. This decision was made unanimously at the council meeting on July 28, based on a recommendation from the Planning and Development Committee.
