 Canoes waiting to be deployed
at the Regatta! by jamiesno
In 2004 the prices was just $1 CDN for admission and $2 to park the car in the parking lot right near the beach.
It's a fun time and lot of people party at the Regatta as well in campers, etcetera. Leave a Comment

 Labrador Strong Man
Competition by jamiesno
This has become one of the most popular events now at the Regatta with plenty of spectators.
There are several events.
In this picture the object is to push your opponent out of the ring, make him let go of the log or for one end of the log to touch the ground. Leave a Comment

 Fighter Aircraft! by jamiesno
It really is a multi-culture place with residents from Italy, Germany, England, Holland and others. In the summer you can see lots during Allied Appreciation week and check out the Military Museum year round!
I have a link to my travelogues with more pictures of Allied Appreciation Week. Leave a Comment

 The Famous Churchill Falls! by jamiesno
If you are really adventurous in the summer time you can actually to to the falls itself and although I don't recommend it, you can carefully climb down over the falls and get some great pictures looking back up, I've been there, done that!
You can also follow the path and take some pictures from the other side of the gorge. If you are flying to Happy Valley - Goose Bay, this is at least a day's excursion as it is 3 hours, 280 km one way, but still worth the effort!
Churchill Falls is not in the VT database so I have some more Churchill Falls tips in a Travelogue for Wabush / Labrador City and the link is below. Leave a Comment

 Tall Trees prior to entering
the beach area. by jamiesno
There is a great interpretation centre with loads of Aboriginal artifacts, paintings, and sculptures.
There is a museum, great folks and a very nice beach if you are there during the summer months!
North West River is also home to the famous Beach Festival. It is a great time every July.
The community is also the oldest in central Labrador and rich with history. I have a link provided specially for my seperate North West River page. Leave a Comment

 Performers at the Labrador
Creative Arts Festival by jamiesno, 4 more photos
1. there is an expressed need for young people resident in Labrador, be they Innu, Inuit, Metis or resident, to know their past and their role in the developing Labrador community, in order to aid them in becoming active in the preservation of their heritage, as well as to become arbiters of their future.
2. to provide individuals with an opportunity to come together and share their creative experiences because of the geographic and social diversity within Labrador, and thus become aware of the varied and composite life styles in Labrador.
I had been living in the Happy Valley area for four years and always heard about it so I decided to go in 2004. It was a great experience. I had been involved in a lot of political type issues and didn't realize the power of listening to deep social issues through the words of teenagers.
Some of the topics where drugs in remote communities, broken families and so on.
The students learn self-expression, self-confidence and social interaction skills as well as developing a keener aesthetic sense and critical thinking skills. Leave a Comment Phone: (709) 896-6213
