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

Torngat Mountains National Park is one of Canada's most remote and dramatic national parks, located at the northern tip of Labrador in the Torngat Mountains — a rugged, ancient range that forms the northernmost extension of the Appalachian mountain system.

Torngat Mountains National Park is one of Canada's most remote and dramatic national parks, located at the northern tip of Labrador in the Torngat Mountains — a rugged, ancient range that forms the northernmost extension of the Appalachian mountain system. The park encompasses approximately 9,700 square kilometres of Arctic and subarctic wilderness, characterized by fjords, glaciers, tundra, and mountains rising to over 1,600 metres at Mount Caubvick (also known as Mont D'Iberville), the highest peak east of the Rockies. The Torngat Mountains are the traditional homeland of the Inuit and have been used for thousands of years for hunting, fishing, and spiritual purposes. The name 'Torngat' derives from the Inuktitut word for spirits or spirit land, reflecting the deep cultural significance of the landscape to Indigenous peoples. The park was established in 2005 and operates in partnership with the Nunatsiavut Government, the autonomous Inuit government of Labrador. Access is exclusively by air or sea — there are no roads — making it one of the most challenging national parks in Canada to visit. The wildlife is spectacular: polar bears, caribou, black bear, arctic fox, and beluga and bowhead whales in the offshore waters. The Torngats are increasingly popular with adventure tourists, backcountry hikers, and those seeking one of the genuinely wild places remaining in North America. The park base camp at St. John's Harbour on the Labrador coast provides guided access during the summer season.

Fact

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.
