  • OUR NEWFOUNDLAND TRIP by Alice Trusty
    OUR NEWFOUNDLAND TRIP by Alice Trusty THE GROUP OF SEVEN from the Saskatchewan Archaeological Society had a wonderful time visiting various sites in Newfoundland and was made up of Ted and Allene Douglas from Eatonia, Wilda O’Brien from North Battleford, Bill and Eleanor Long from Regina and Jack and Alice Trusty from Moose Jaw. July 16, 2007: Jack and Alice landed in St. John's in the evening to find that the airport was being evacuated because of an explosive threat. Unable to get their luggage upon their arrival they had to make a return trip to the airport. Two and one half hours after their landing and $65 poorer (taxi fares to and from airport) they settled into their B&B (Wit's Inn) for a much needed sleep. July 17: In the morning while waiting for the others to fly in, Jack and Alice visited the Rooms which is the provincial museum, art gallery and archives all under one roof. The Rooms pays tribute to the traditional lifestyle of Newfoundland and Labrador. In the afternoon Jack and Alice took a taxi back to the airport. This time they picked up Ted and Allene and the group’s rental van. From the airport they traveled about 30 miles South of St. John's to Holyrood to check into their accommodations at the Beachview Motel and then to the Beachview Restaurant for lunch (great food and a wonderful view of Conception Bay). In the evening Ted and Allene, having taken a late flight out of Saskatoon, had been up over 24 hours so decided to settle into their room while Jack and Alice headed back into St.

  • Passport to Your Parks Canada Travel Experience Personal Information
    Passport to your parks canada travel experience Personal Information NAME: ADDRESS: TELEPHONE: Opposite photo: Gros Morne National Park in western Newfoundland. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Gros Morne is known for its rugged beauty, majestic fjords, unique geology, exceptional hiking (backcountry and frontcountry) and its local culture. Photo of Gros Morne provided courtesy of the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Tourism. The human spirit needs places where nature has not been rearranged • by the hand of man. • ~ Author Unknown Telling the Story of Canada Canada’s national parks and national historic sites tell the story of a remarkable country. Each is an experience that celebrates the beauty and infinite variety of one of the world’s most geographically and culturally diverse nations. Protected and preserved for all Canadians and the world, each park and site provides a haven, not only for plants and animals, but also for the human spirit. Whether it’s the sight of Gros Morne’s magnificent fjords, the feel of the marsh breezes at Fort Beauséjour—Fort Cumberland, the taste of the salt air at Prince Edward Island National Park, or the sound of the cannon at the Fortress of Louisbourg, Canada’s national parks and national historic sites stir the emotions. They tell a story of enduring Aboriginal presence, diverse landscapes and wildlife, early settlers and their struggles, fishing, shipbuilding, imperial conflict, nation building and creative genius. Hiking a scenic trail, touring an interpretive exhibit or viewing the vestiges of an ancient settlement, you hear that story—you feel it, you relive it. As you experience Parks Canada’s gateways to nature, history, discovery and adventure, let your senses be your guide.
