When it comes to adaptation, I was also told that it is windy in the north. The door hinges are not designed to withstand those climate conditions. So doors are often torn off by the wind. That is a cultural adaptation issue. You talked about aspects we did not discuss, such as the sun's orientation. However, the homes I saw over there are like the bungalows we have here.
If I lived in Kuujjuaq or Ivujivik, and I killed a caribou to bring home, I don't know where I would put it—perhaps in the basement or the bathroom. I assume that situation contributes to the mould. The homes are not adapted to the people's needs. Under a housing strategy, I would suggest that the very particular conditions in the north be considered. However, for the conditions to be accommodated, northern residents must be engaged in the process. We mustn't only hold consultations, but work together with the northerners.
