I am more than a little pleasantly surprised that the Nain Inuit Community Government has decided to ban plastic bags come December 1st.
I do admit to being worried that the proposal would not get enough votes to pass, congratulations NICG.

I was remiss in mentioning before that the leaning snack outlet in Nain “Puff in Snack” [and only beer outlet] has had a notice in store for some time announcing they would not be handing out plastic bags from December. They urge people to bring their own bags. No, leaning is not a typo.

So we have in store bulk filtered water, plastic bag bans a huge clean up program at the dump on going and a beach cleanup today courtesy of NICG, things are moving along quite well.

Subsequent to my post on the Executive Director of OK resigning, seems there was an offer that was too good to refuse involved in the decision. None the less my views on the stress of the job, especially for people from away, still stand.

Down the dock yesterday talking to a couple about the weather and the projected summer like temperatures for rest of week, guy says he is not going to complain about the heat once. Me neither, just record the facts.
