It is time to clean up, says the City of Iqaluit.

Bylaw officers will be visiting neighbourhoods this spring to enforce the city’s unsightly land bylaw.

The city announced the initiative Wednesday in a news release.

As a result of the bylaw visits, some property owners may receive notices informing them they must clean up trash, pet waste, derelict vehicles, leftover construction materials or other messes covered by the bylaw. 

Those property owners will have 30 days to comply from the time the clean-up orders are delivered.

“Residents do not need to wait for a notice to begin cleanup,” said city spokesperson Geoffrey Byrne in the city’s news release. 

“Small efforts across individual properties make a noticeable difference in helping keep our neighbourhoods clean, safe, and welcoming.”
