InuvikSA国际影视传媒檚 iconic End of the Dempster Highway sign will remain standing after all.

Town council accepted a joint-proposal April 28 from the GwichSA国际影视传媒檌n Tribal Council and Nihtat GwichSA国际影视传媒檌n Council to relocate the sign to the old Mackenzie Valley Construction lot.

Councillors voted 4-0 in favour of the joint proposal, with Couns. Dez Loreen and Kurt Wainman abstaining due to pecuniary interest.

GTC and NGC will assume ownership of the sign and all liabilities in moving the sign. The plan is to take the sign down and engage youth in its restoration before it is erected at the intersection of Marine Bypass Road and Navy Road.

A second proposal to move and restore the sign had been put forward by Coun. Wainman. The Inuvik Community Garden Society and Harder Enterprises had also put forward a proposal to move the sign, but withdrew it before the meeting.

SA国际影视传媒淚 would like to thank Coun. Wainman for putting his proposal forward. I knew his intent was to make sure that piece of history was saved,SA国际影视传媒� said Coun. Alana Mero. SA国际影视传媒淏ut I think with the GwichSA国际影视传媒檌n connection to the Dempster Highway and their role in actually leading the first surveyors to mark out the highway on their traditional trail, I think it honours it best by having it go to the GwichSA国际影视传媒檌n.SA国际影视传媒�

InuvikSA国际影视传媒檚 replacement Gateway sign is currently being fabricated in Edmonton and is expected to be delivered before spring break-up, according to town senior administrative officer Grant Hood.
