This newly constructed 5-plex in Pond Inlet stands as a vibrant symbol of community investment and support, made possible by the taxpayers of Canada.
With its bright orange exterior and modern design, the building provides essential housing in one of the country’s most remote Arctic communities. Set against the dramatic backdrop of snow-covered mountains, it reflects a commitment to improving infrastructure and quality of life in Nunavut’s northern settlements.
Actually, it's not a lake at all. This is Swift Creek Reservoir. My parents happen to live right next to it, so I made the most of my weekend visit to their house by getting up early on Sunday morning for a little photography. The area surrounding the reservoir is very heavily developed (there's a house out of the frame to the left, and I was actually standing in someone's backyard when I took this), but there are still bits of it that look mostly untouched.
This is very dear to my heart. I received my gift catalog today and thought I would share. No matter what holiday you celebrate this winter we can all make a difference...
please take a look and perhaps you will be moved also.

Members of the Rwandan battalion (RWANBATT-1) of the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) worked with the local community in Kapuri, a town on the outskirts of the capital Juba, along with the Rwandan community in South Sudan, to clean the Kapuri Primary School. During the clean-up initiative, the Rwandan peacekeepers also constructed a volleyball court for for the school, offered medical services, and provided exercise books, pens, and balls.
The project was completed under the theme "Umuganda" or "Shared Work", and was a continuation of the relationship formed between the Rwandan Battalion and the Kapuri community in 2014, the result of which saw the building of the school, which was completed in 2015.

Another shot of Swift Creek Reservoir. I took some shots of this spot earlier in the morning when there was more mist, but on my way home I noticed the rising sun was hitting the trees and decided it made a much better photo.
As I noted before, the area around the lake is very heavily developed. The 4 boats in the photo each belong to people living in houses just behind the trees.
