This is the story of Jack Grainge, a civil engineer for the federal government, bringing the people of northern Canada the sanitary conveniences we take for granted. This was a difficult task. The construction of basic water and sewer services in areas where the ground is frozen to depths as much as several hundred meters required engineering ingenuity. Jack had a knack for finding simple, practical solutions to the problems. It employs a regional perspective, and as such deals with issues of special relevance and pertinence for populations in the Arctic.
