Iqaluit Muslims to build Nunavut’s first mosque

About 30 metres off the edge of Iqaluit’s Road to Nowhere, construction is underway on the territory’s first mosque.

Right now, the structure is barebones – just four walls and part of a roof, propped up by stilts on the rocky landscape.

But by the end of the year, organizers hope the space will be ready to begin hosting Friday prayer sessions for the 100 or so Muslims living in the city.
