YOUTH CHARGED IN FIRE THAT DAMAGED GROCERY STORE

A youth has been charged after a fire at the largest retailer and grocery store in Iqaluit raised fears about food supplies in Nunavut’s capital. The fire at the Northmart store began early on Nov. 8 — one of six blazes that officers responded to overnight. Police believe five of them were purposely set. Two youths were arrested and one now faces charges of arson and public mischief. Northmart management said earlier this week that the store would reopen for business on Saturday.
