This too will be an important contribution to Labrador history. But mainly I hope you enjoy your time together. Llewelyn Pritchard has done a remarkable job in bringing you together. He is as shrewd as Holmes and as persistent as Poirot. He could even be a great Canadian! We owe him more than we can say. It's his event and I know it will be successful. Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?

I haven't really got a clue how this influenced my writing, except I suppose it instilled in me a great love of nature, adventure and the outdoors.

Port Hope Simpson

I am the son of an elite collier and I would much rather take this opportunity to dedicate this great and pertinent poem to his memory: They were his daily sounds. He worked so far below the ground. He crawled upon his belly. In drifts so low and narrow, The wind it whistled down the shaft. It chilled him to the marrow. He ate his food from a Tommy box, Shaped like a slice of bread, While squatting down upon the ground, Where spit and crumbs were shed. His water, it was in a Jack, to wet down clouds of dust, That gathered daily in his throat and lungs.

Where it formed a deadly crust. We would listen for his footsteps, He then came into sight: This man, our Dad, as black as black, just like the darkest night; Right down his back white rivers ran amongst the dirt and grime, But you cannot wash away blue scars.

There is no road. The only major road for anything other than local traffic is the Trans-Labrador Highway through Labrador City food, fuel and repairs, lodging, shopping mall, airport and Churchill Falls company town with food, fuel, lodging, no repairs to Goose Bay food, fuel and repairs, lodging, air and sea ports ; the road then continues south to Port Hope Simpson fuel and repairs, lodging with a 90 km branch leading to Cartwright food, fuel, campground, no bank, no roadside assistance.

The main road follows the coast through Red Bay national historic site, small inn with restaurant, no fuel or grocer to Forteau food, fuel, lodging and Blanc Sablon ferry to Newfoundland island. The other options are ships coastal ferries and small bush planes. Many coastal communities, including all of Nunatsiavut , have no road.

Their supplies arrive by a seasonal coastal ferry from Goose Bay or Lewisporte , the Nunatsiavut Marine "Northern Ranger", to be stockpiled for the long, bitterly-cold sub-Arctic Labrador winter. Harbours are often blocked by ice until late spring or even the first few days of summer, leaving very tiny, very loud Twin Otters as the only year-round way into many isolated Labrador communities. Provincial Airlines or Air Labrador operate scheduled services up and down the coast, which are not inexpensive and often just as costly as the initial flight into the province from some distant region.

Local taxis and airport hire cars are only likely to be available in the largest towns, Labrador City -Wabush and Happy Valley-Goose Bay. Within the smallest villages such as Cartwright or Port Hope Simpson it is possible to reach most locations on foot.

On the open road? Expect hundreds of kilometres of uninhabited territory, wilderness and open space along the Trans-Labrador Highway with no towns and no services. Keep a full tank of fuel, a full-size spare tire and tools and enough supplies to survive for several hours or more if stranded in sub-Arctic conditions.

It's often hundreds of kilometres to the next town and the only way to call for roadside assistance may well be by satellite telephone. Labrador City -Wabush is a mining community and tours may be reserved in advance; in Churchill Falls , visitors may see one of the largest hydroelectric dams in Canada.

Churchill Falls info and reservations: Muskrat Falls was an impressive sight west of Happy Valley-Goose Bay , but development of a major hydroelectric plant has taken over the area; work crews and the occasional group of protesters are an obstacle to any visitors expecting access by the normal route off the Trans-Labrador Highway.

Battle Harbour National Historic District, on an island opposite Mary's Harbour , is a historic ghost town but not easy to get to and impractical to visit as a same-day trip. Old villages, shipwrecks and lighthouses may be seen in some coastal locations in southern Labrador, along with one of North America's oldest burial sites. See the aurora borealis or "northern lights", fish for trout and Atlantic salmon on pristine and undisturbed rivers fly fishing in summer, ice fishing in winter.

See native crafts being made. Join a sightseeing tour by boat or even by aircraft to watch birds, icebergs, whales and wildlife. Visit national parks, including the Mealy Mountains near Cartwright and Torngat Mountains National Park in the northern wilderness of native Nunatsiavut. Take to the trails on skis, snowmobile and snowshoes in the winter; hike and swim in the summer.

Engage in wildlife watching and nature photography. Try your hand at canoeing or kayaking Most mass-produced items are manufactured elsewhere and imported great distances, making them more expensive in Labrador than in destinations on the beaten path.

In larger centres like Labrador City , there are malls and national chains just like any other town of comparable size. A small village is likely to only have one or a small handful of merchants. Labrador City , as the largest community in Labrador, has a mix of well-known regional and international chains, as well as a few independent or family-operated restaurants.

There's a McDonald's, there's a shopping mall, much like other communities closer to the beaten path. Churchill Falls is a company town with most services concentrated in the one main community centre building.

The Midway Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as fast-food fare. There's also a well-stocked market. There is a co-op market as well as a second supermarket offering surprisingly fresh produce, great cuts of meat, and standard pre-prepared food. Compared to the rest of the country, they are both small and expensive but you will find most of what you are looking for. Towns other than these have limited options, usually either a small grocer or general store, a modest restaurant attached to some other business such as cabins or a country inn , a small takeaway or a tiny liquor store operated as a sideline in some other local business.

Forteau has a grocer and bakery. There are some local foods which are specific to the province or region; these may include wild game such as caribou , local seafood, berries such as "bakeapples" or cloudberries and desserts or baked goods prepared with local ingredients. Native peoples will have their own traditions for local foodstuffs.

There is little or no agriculture in Labrador due to rocky soil and an impractically short growing season; this leaves many foodstuffs and supplies to be imported great distances from other regions, often leading to limited selection and inflated prices - a problem that only worsens as one heads further northward beyond the end of the road network and toward the Arctic. In the few major towns, roadhouses with hard liquors, Molson or Labatt beer and plenty of country music are common.
