From The CBC-
Iqaluit's familiar igloo-shaped Anglican cathedral is visible in the city's skyline again, six years after the original church was badly damaged by fire.
Crews that are rebuilding St. Jude's Anglican Cathedral, which was damaged in a 2005 suspected case of arson, placed a cross and steeple atop the new structure on Thursday.
The cross and steeple components arrived in Iqaluit by sealift earlier this month, after they had been assembled in Ottawa.
Project manager Alastair Leitch said the cross and steeple were built with Iqaluit's climate particularities in mind.
"Weather-wise, because we do have the bay right out here and the salt water, all of our fasteners are stainless steel," Leitch told CBC News on Thursday.
