New Street Names and House Numbers
The Hamlet of Arviat has implemented a new street name and house numbering system. This system replaced the old house numbering systems as of 2013. All roads are designated either a “street” (north-south roads) or an “avenue” (east-west roads) and are numbered in sequence.
