Day 6 No Internet and Long Distance Calls

Today marks Day 6 without no Internet access and Long distance access.

According to a recent Facebook post by our MHA Lela Evans; she posted that the Bell Aliant chopper crew are holding up in Hopedale this morning.

Due to poor weather conditions the chopper could not make it in.

But the forecast is supposed to be looking better this afternoon.

OKalâKatiget Radio will have more information once available.

Another update that just came in from Lela.

She has not been able to get an official update from Bell Aliant but she did get in contact with a community member in Hopedale.

A community member told her that the helicopter is still in Hopedale and has not gone into the tower yet.

They also told her that the weather seems to be improving, so that is a hopeful sign.

Once she gets an official update she will post again.
