DAY 8, JULY 24 : HAY RIVER - FT. CHIPEWYAN (NWT)

SKY CLEAR AGAIN!!!!

The flight was short, the community of Fort Chipewyan received the pilots.  The community supper was organized by the Athabasca Lake.  The setting and the view of  the lake were outstanding.

We enjoyed traditional dances performed by the community youth dressed in beautiful native costumes.  The Air Rally participants took part in traditional games.  We were honored by the presence of Chief Ovide Mercredi, long time Canadian First Nation Grand Chief, highly respected by First Nation people and high Canadian officials.

Chief Mercredi made a speech to greet and thank the Air Rally for visiting the communities since 2003 and invited us to include his community in one of the rallies.

Fort Chipewyan is a beautiful place  to enjoy nature.  The people of Fort Chipewyan are very hospitable and open to visitors.
