Here are two views of the Hopedale church and mission buildings. First one via Arkiske Billeder, circa 1921. Second circa 2006 by yours truly.

The wharf in the second used to be used for float plane
[after their introduction] docking until the airstrip was built; the structure is in bad state of repair at moment.

The church and mission complex has been repaired and restored over the last decade, it is an historical site or building.


Nain has several buildings that could/should be on the list of historical buildings, not much to nothing has been done to protect and restore them.

It was a beautiful day yesterday, started off at -19, and then light fluffy snow fell for most of the day with temperatures rising to -5. Then the bloody wind started, got up to 81 clicks from the north last evening.
Looking out this morning I see I don’t have all that much snow to move, blowing from the north it all but blew some place else. Now if had been from the NW it would have been a different [snow bank to move] story.
With more snow on the way with winds it will be several days before I worry about any big clearing job.
