Hamlet, Anglican Diocese of the Arctic considering multi-purpose facilities on land beneath derelict church buildings
A central community lot in Pangnirtung currently occupied by derelict church buildings will be redeveloped through a new partnership between the hamlet and the Anglican Diocese of the Arctic.
The Hamlet of Pangnirtung announced Feb. 18 that it has reached an agreement with the diocese to form a working group focused on future use of the site. The lot where the old Anglican church buildings sit has long been seen as a key piece of real estate in the community.
“The hamlet council is determined to see the derelict buildings demolished and new buildings constructed in their place,” the hamlet’s notice said.
