Ice Thickness in Hopedale

Yesterday we reported ice conditions in the areas of Nain, Postville and Makkovik.

Today we spoke with AngajukKâk for the Hopedale Inuit Community Government, Marjorie Flowers.

Flowers says they just hired workers to place trail markers going to Natuashish from Hopedale.

Trail markers has been placed within the harbour and northward of the community, she says that the thickness of the ice is 2 feet.

Flowers says that the thickness of the ice will continue to be monitored before heading southward to set markers.

This hole is at third pond and tree markers has been placed there for travelers to be aware.
