SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 way too much.SA国际影视传媒

Thirty-year Iqaluit resident Lew Phillip has seen and heard enough about public drinking and related incidents that he was motivated to make a presentation to city council on Jan. 23.

He cast doubt on how helpful IqaluitSA国际影视传媒檚 beer and wine store has been in reducing illegal sales of alcohol.

SA国际影视传媒淚 wonder ifSA国际影视传媒 you can talk to the government officials who declare SA国际影视传媒楬allelujahSA国际影视传媒橲A国际影视传媒 there will no longer being bootlegging and bootleggers in town, [people] will be drinking at home and there will be less problems, and we heard this from the government when we had a public meeting,SA国际影视传媒 said Phillip, a former police officer and corrections officer. SA国际影视传媒淚 am not trying to make any changes, but the Elders as well as the youth have approached me asking for help [from the council].SA国际影视传媒

Phillip contends that thereSA国际影视传媒檚 actually been an increase in bootlegging since the beer and wine store opened.

SA国际影视传媒淵oung people bootleg alcohol, beer and also wine,SA国际影视传媒 he said. SA国际影视传媒淭he youths are practising that for some time. The reason they bootleg is they want hard drugsSA国际影视传媒 there have been alcohol-related incidents that are negative, and we have been receiving calls that there are bootleggers because of the [beer and wine store] purchases. This is not good, this is not positive. We also feel for the children that are being left alone out there who have parents that are drunk that have no place to go. And the second one are Elders who are impaired due to [drinking alcohol] during the day and the night.

Before the beer and wine store opened, it was unusual to see people drunk in public during the day, according to Phillip.

SA国际影视传媒淲hat ISA国际影视传媒檓 trying to say, we need help as Iqaluit residents. Elders [financial] benefits are takenSA国际影视传媒 and we also know that the are way busier than beforeSA国际影视传媒 this has become a problem. This is your city,SA国际影视传媒 he told council. SA国际影视传媒淰isitors or tourists when they arrive here, itSA国际影视传媒檚 becoming embarrassing to see alcohol containers at the beach area. And the are not enough to handle this, and itSA国际影视传媒檚 very visible now. We voted for you so you could represent usSA国际影视传媒 you have the authoritySA国际影视传媒 I am not really sure what to do, but I am relying on youSA国际影视传媒 talk to the Nunavut government, because they stated that there would be less of this or that, but they were wrongSA国际影视传媒 I know that the government is making a lot of money out of the [beer and wine store], but this has become a problem.SA国际影视传媒

The perspective

Staff Sgt. Darrell Gill, who was just starting his third week as the new detachment commander for the Iqaluit , shared with council the police forceSA国际影视传媒檚 statistics from November and December 2023.

Two-thirds of those 1,881 calls SA国际影视传媒 968 in November and 918 in December SA国际影视传媒 involved alcohol. The total number of calls for the year was 12,343.

Mayor Solomon Awa commented, SA国际影视传媒淲e are thinking about this issue and continue to thinkSA国际影视传媒 we have been aware and we hear the reports on a monthly basis. This is good food for thought. Thank you.SA国际影视传媒

The did not immediately have access to comparable statistics from the period prior to the opening of the beer and wine store in Iqaluit in 2017.
