Summary
From Angola to the Arctic: Jacinto Marques, a name you'll soon know, just launched Iqaluit's first-ever bus line. This isn't just a new route; it's a monumental shift for Canada's most northern city. Marques, an Angolan refugee, defied all odds, bringing public transit to a place many thought impossible. His vision connects Iqaluit residents, proving that even at the frozen edge of the world, innovation, and a little grit, can truly move mountains. This is more than transportation; it’s a community-builder.
