Our Global Village team will be staying in two 3-bedroom townhouses known as “Green Row,” located near downtown and within easy walking distance of most services. Each unit has a full bathroom with tub/shower, and a half bathroom with sink/toilet. The kitchens are fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, a coffee maker and microwave. Although sheets are provided, you should bring your own pillowcase and towels. There is also a washer/dryer in each unit, but you’ll need to provide your own supplies.
The address for the two townhouses is Green Row 673D and Green Row 673E,
Groceries:
There are two major grocery stores: NorthMart and Arctic Ventures Marketplace. While you will find prices expensive compared to the south, the selection is quite good in both places and you’ll see grocery items as well as hunting equipment, furs, and hardware. They are both within a 5-minute walk of Green Row.
NorthMart is open from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday to Saturday, and 10:00 am to 5:00 pm on Sunday.
The Marketplace is open from 10:00 am to 10:00 am Monday to Saturday, and 1:00 pm to 10:00 pm on Sunday. The Marketplace has a great selection of northern books upstairs if you’re interested in books on Inuit art, northern history, or exploration.
Banking
Royal Bank, CIBC and First Nations Bank each have local branches in Iqaluit with ATMs, and they are all about a 5-minute walk from Green Row. There are ATM machines around town including NorthMart, Arctic Ventures Marketplace, the airport, and many restaurants. Debit cards are accepted almost everywhere; Visa and MasterCard are also regularly used. American Express is not as well accepted.
