I was out there today Peter, and Treaty was okay going out this morning, but when we came back around 6:00, what a mess. The landing coming off Treaty heading out, at the far end, was brutal. There were big ruts everywhere, and lots of slushy snow, now that things are starting to melt. Still good ice roads, just Treaty is always a surprise. I think it is from all the traffic today, maybe because of PowWow.

Hey Guys.....

So, tonight in our local newspaper, Chief Ken Skead announced that he will be setting up roadblocks again, and charging $15.00 a day, to use the access points onto the ice roads via, PowWow or Bare Point(which does not go our way). This is all news to me, as Leonard indicated the other day, that the Chief was real pleased that the traffic had slowed down on the reserve.

This is just to let you know at this point, as Peter I read your email, where you said you still had materials to get to your camp. Treaty Island was absolutely terrible last night.
It was like a skating rink! I will be talking to Leonard again, to find out if anyone will be sanding it, like maybe the contractors that are using it more than others. If I hear anything before the weekend, I will let you know. Your option is, for $15.00/day you can still use PowWow.

Hi Everyone.....

Just a heads up to let you know, the road into French Narrows is not in good condition, and I wasn't sure who had been out this weekend.

For those who were not out, the road blew in this past week, and Bill finally decided to open it up on Friday evening, but it drifted in again on Saturday.

Bill has been compensated for the majority of his plowing, but his total time has exceeded what was available to him. Bill is aware that any plowing required by anyone from this date on, is paid to him directly by the person(s) requiring him.

Every winter is different as we all know, but it will have to be looked at for next year, as I have had concerns on the amount of plowing and the total contributions received. This is not specific to just the French Narrows area alone, but the whole road from Queer Island down.

I am open to suggestions, ideas, solutions, and will be letting you know at a later date how things play out.
