Our Time - Our Story Our Time - Our Story Battle Harbour Literacy Council Our Time - Our Story Seniors Profiles and Oral Histories Excerpts from Lodge Bay - Paradise River Battle Harbour Literacy Council This book is a project of the Battle Harbour Literacy Council with acknowledgment of funding from Human Resources Development Canada. Copyright 1999, Battle Harbour Literacy Council P0 Box 142 Mary's Harbour Labrador AOK 3P0 Layout and Design: Christine Rumbolt Collectors: Alison Normore, Christopher Poole, Ruth Burden, Marilyn Parr - Penney, Mildred Keefe and Charlotte Dyson Photo Credit: Eldred Poole, St. Lewis, Labrador James Poole (right) and Elijah Strangemore (left) holding up a porcupine. Taken at St. Collin's Camp in the Labrador Interior in Winter, 1937. Words From Project Sponsor As 1999 is International Year of the Senior, we thought it appropriate to pay tribute to our ever growing population of seniors along the southeast coast of Labrador. We chose the area of Lodge Bay to Paradise River as it represents the economic boundary of Zone 4. The people of these communities carry many cultural differences but in more ways are strikingly similar in the way they lived and through the deep commitment to the land and the communities that they have built. It is through the labor, toil and constant striving of these strong willed people that our communities have continued to survive. You will see as you read through the profiles and excerpts, many people's fondest memories are of the simple things in life: family, love, religion and the tasks of daily living. We hope that their words are an inspiration to all who read not to take these things for granted. Enjoy!!! Bonnie Rumbolt Program Coordinator FOREWARD As we move forward in our communities, we do so reflecting on our past and with the knowledge of those who have paved the way - our seniors, the "Pioneers of our Past." With 1999 being the International Year of the Older person, I am pleased to honor the many seniors from across the district who play an integral role in our society. You help shape the views of our youthful population, you teach us morals and values to live by and you have guided us through some of the most difficult times in our history. This book is dedicated to each of you in recognition of the tremendous contributions and many sacrifices you have made as early pioneers. The last of a generation to have traveled this land by foot and fished our great ocean by hand, you have instilled in us a way of life that today is unknown in most cultures. I would like to extend my gratitude to the literacy groups in the district for doing such a great job with this project and reaching out to so many seniors. Also, I would like to recognize Bonnie Rumbolt for organizing and coordinating this project. Literacy groups in the district have been instrumental in documenting the oral histories of our people and preserving the culture of our communities.

Joey was walking up the road and came into my store and asked me if I had any cold drinks for sale. Well it was almost dinner time and I says to him, "Come on in the house boy and have some dinner." He says, 'No, no, no boy." But I convinced him to come in to get something to eat. We had jigs dinner that day and I sat at the same table of Joey Smallwood. I remember he was a good talker and he was waving his hands trying to get his points across. From listening to him talk I could tell he was a smart man and that he cared a lot for Nfld and Labrador. After the meal was over, he thanked me and he was off again to do some more campaigning. From that day on me and Joey were good friends.

(HOI S.) ~- ··- 223870 A GRAVITY SURVEY OF EASTERN NOTRE DAME BAY, NEWFOUNDLAND by @ HUGH G. MILLER, B.Sc. {HCNS.) .. Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science, Memorial University of Newfoundland. July 20, 1970 11 ABSTRACT A gravity survey was undertaken on the archipelago and adjacent coast of eastern Notre Dame Bay, Newfoundland. A total of 308 gravity stations were occupied with a mean station spacing of 2,5 km, and 9 gravity sub-bases were established. Elevations for the survey were determined by barometric and direct altimetry. The densities of rock samples collected from 223 sites were detenmined. A Bouguer anomaly map was obtained and a polynomial fitting technique was employed to determine the regional contribution to the total Bouguer anomaly field. Residual and regional maps based on a fifth­ order polynomial were obtained. Several programs were written for the IBM 360/40 computer used in this and model work. Three-dimensional model studies were carried out and a satisfactory overall fit to the total Bouguer field was obtained. Several shallow features of the anomaly maps were found to correlate well with surface bodies, i.e. granite or diorite bodies. Sedimentary rocks had little effect on the gravity field. The trace of the Luke's Arm fault was delineated. The following new features we r~ discovered: (1) A major structural discontinuity near Change Islands; (2) A layer of relatively high ·density (probably basic to ultrabasic rock) at 5 - 10 km depth.

I also thank Keith Storey for his valuable comments and editorial contributions. The Population Project: Newfoundland and Labrador in Transition In 2015, Newfoundland and Labrador had the most rapidly aging population in the country – which when combined with high rates of youth out-migration, declining birth rates, and an increasing number of people moving from rural parts of the province to more urban centres, means that the province is facing an unprecedented population challenge. Without intervention, this trend will have a drastic impact on the economy, governance, and the overall quality of life for the people of the province. Planning for this change and developing strategies to adjust and adapt to it is paramount. The Harris Centre’s Population Project has developed potential demographic scenarios

  • Canada's Last Frontier – the 1054Km Trans
    TRAVEL TIMES ARE BASED ON POSTED SPEED LIMITS A new highway loop itinerary through Eastern Canada. New territories of unspoiled pristine wilderness and remote villages are yours to explore! The ultimate free-wheeling adventure. Halifax - Baie Comeau / 796km / 10h 40m / paved highway Routing will take you across the province of Nova Scotia, north through New Brunswick to a ferry crossing from Matane, QC (2h 15m) to Baie Comeau. Baie Comeau - Labrador West / 598km / 8h 10m / two-thirds paved highway Upgrading to this section of highway (Route 389) continues; as of the end of the summer of 2017, 434kms were paved. Work continues in 2018/19 on the remaining 167kms. New highway sections will open, one in 2018 and another in 2019; expect summer construction zones during this period. North from Baie Comeau Route 389 will take you pass the Daniel Johnson Dam, onward to the iron ore mining communities of Fermont, Labrador City and Wabush on the Quebec/Labrador border. Labrador West - Labrador Central / 533km / 7h 31m / paved highway Traveling east, all 533kms of Route 500 is paved (completed 2015). The highway affords you opportunities to view the majestic Smallwood reservoir and Churchill Falls Hydroelectric generating station on route to Happy Valley – Goose Bay, the “Hub of Labrador” and North West River for cultural exploration at the Labrador Interpretation Centre and the Labrador Heritage Society Museum. Happy Valley-Goose Bay is also the access point to travel to Nunatsiavut via ferry and air services or to the Torngat Mountains National Park. Central Labrador - Red Bay / 542km / 9h 29m / partially paved highway Going south on Route 510, you pass to the south of the Mealy Mountains and onward through sub- arctic terrain to the coastal communities of Port Hope Simpson and Mary’s Harbour, the gateway to Battle Harbour National Historic District.
