NICG Update

The Nain Inuit Community Government Municipality crew are quite busy again.

We spoke with AngajukKâk Joe Dicker.

He says crew members are busy repairing a leak by the Nunatsiavut Government building.

The boys are cleaning up and will be working on the leak tomorrow.

So due to this leak, they will be shutting off the water line from Harry Hayes house down, across the brook will also be affected.

Dicker says there is a pump on the old dam that will fill up water for the new water tank for Hydro, and they are doing this to do some testing.

The pump will be removed later today.

And he would also like to inform the public about the Black Bear encounters in the community.

They still have the committee put in place for the community volunteers.

So if residents encounter any black bear sightings, you are asked to inform the Nain RCMP, RCMP members will then inform one of the community volunteers.

Dicker adds that the new lots are now ready to be handed over to the community government.

These lots will be for the Torngat housing Association to build new homes, so please be advised that there will be construction going on sometime soon.
