Residents digging out after blizzards in parts of Nunavut

Residents in some communities in the Kitikmeot and the Kivalliq regions of Nunavut are digging out after blizzards this week.

In Cambridge Bay, only trace amounts of snow fell, but high winds brought a lot of it into town. The gusts created huge drifts, some as high as houses. The storm cancelled flights, schools and businesses for several days.

Resident Wilf Wilcox says the storm lasted three days and it was lucky there were no power outages.

"I haven't seen any damages to buildings yet but there's lots of truck canopies with banged-up windows and stuff like that and stuff scattered all over from being blown around," he said.
