Second Anniversary of the Canso Salvage
by Doug Roy on 04/19/10
Technically, today is not the 2nd anniversary of the start of the Save the Canso Project, but it is the day when we reached the Dempster highway after six weeks of planning and two weeks of hard work, under extremely difficult conditions. What a victory! There was still a lot of work ahead of us but reaching the highway after 20 km of frozen Sitidgi Lake and 20 km of tundra and creeks was indeed a milestone. At this point we were only 20 more km. by road from Inuvik, NWT and the NTCL barge site, along the MacKenzie River.
This is a very busy time for a number of us, between work on the Canso and spring seeding on the farm but, over the next month or so, we will attempt to recap some of the history of the project - the planning and execution of the salvage and restoration of FNJE.
