Trivia

The Board

Them days you sent a youngster up the road to say there was a game on. Now you send the code, and if a chair's still empty when you deal, one of the regulars takes it.

Down the road

Well, Sunday after Mass we'd walk it. Start at the gate and go down, and every house along here I'll tell you who's in it.

Torngat Mountains National Park

Inuit homeland at the edge of the Arctic - polar bears, peaks, and some of the oldest rock on Earth.

Torngat Mountains National Park, established in 2005 as a national park reserve, protects about 9,700 km2 of the Torngat Mountains in northern Labrador - Inuit homeland territory where Inuit welcome visitors amid some of the oldest exposed rocks on Earth and wildlife including polar bears and caribou. The park has no road access; visitors arrive by expedition vessel or charter and travel only with authorized operators and Inuit guides. The operating season is short - roughly mid-July to late August - and Parks Canada requires complete trip planning through the park office in Nain.

How to get there

No road access: arrive by expedition vessel or charter and travel only with authorized operators and Inuit guides; complete planning through the Parks Canada office in Nain.

Mid-July to late August

Mind yourself

Polar-bear country with no road access and no cell service: travel only with authorized operators and Inuit guides under the park's protocols, and utmost respect for Inuit hosts and their homeland.

Fact

Where that comes from

On the go

Them days the garden party was the whole summer. Here's what's on the go now, and when.

The kitchen

Well, Sunday the pot was on before Mass and the smell of it met you at the gate. Here's what was in it, and how it's done.

The hall

Them days the hall had a dance Saturday and the kitchen had music the rest of the week. It's still playing. Come in and listen.

The yarns

He said, you know the one about the light on the water. I said, I do. That's a story, mind, and I'll tell you which parts.

Not the house

No, I said, that's not the house. It was down just below there. Go back up the road.
