Today we flew to Kugluktuk which is on the Coppermine River. We are staying at the Coppermine Inn.
We met defence counsel and went over the files. We are all staying at the same Inn and so ate together and went for a walk this evening. Now there are bugs and no one remembered the Off. My camera is acting up (or perhaps the photographer is) so I used my point and shoot.
It is now 10:30 pm and still light although I have the light on in the room.
We did go for a walk earlier in the day too. The roads are not paved and there is a lot of dust when a vehicle or ATV passes. The sand is very fine and they have a sandy beach on the shore of the Coppermine River. There were quite a few people swimming and quite a few boats on the water today as it was pretty warm. The swimmers wrapped up in blankets when they came out of the water. Michelle took a photograph of a little boy in his parka and jeans with a bug net covering his face. Hope to get a copy to show you.
Michelle and I are the Crowns and we lugged a hockey bag of 71 pounds of files as well as our own luggage here. There are two defence counsel as well so it should work pretty well. There are 10 trials set but we will see how many actually proceed. We gave defence counsel our position on all the files that we could. We have to check a few things with the RCMP tomorrow. Their detachment is right across the street. One of the officers picked us up at the airport and dropped us off at the hotel (after we called because the driver of the taxi that was called said she could not come as she had a sick child.)
Here are a few photos of the children in the water and the boats pulled up on the shore:
The fish wrapping around the corner is neat and there is another one on the other side.
