I was in Inuvik, N.W.T. 1964 -1967. I remember the weather, ice, cold, dark, sun, muck, mosquitoes and utilidors! I was only 17 at the time; married with 1 child. My second child was born there. It really was quite a different way of living. I remember taking the children in a wooden box attached to a tobbogan in -70 weather and in summer having to wear rubber boots all the time. The people were so friendly and helpful. Although I was a Navy wife I loved chatting with the townspeople even after being told that it was dangerous to do so. I always felt safe. I always managed to find people who spoke english and would translate very interesting stories to me. I’m sure being a Newfoundlander helped as we have a reputation for friendliness so they never felt intimidated by me nor me them. As I was reading your story memories just came back after all this time. Thank you for that, too!
Keep safe and all the best to you and yours.
