Dave Allcorn has recently arrived in Churchill to fulfill the role of Summer Tundra Buggy Driver and Interpretive Guide and contribute around the Garage when he's not in the field. In September, Dave will transition over to managing the maintenance of the Tundra Buggy Lodge.

Here is Dave's brief report of Churchill's Canada Day festivities (Thanks Dave!!):

the fire works were on June 30th at 1130pm and were really impressive in front of a pink sky and a frozen sea... the parade had a lot of spectators and participants this year, maybe because it was a clear day, even if it was only 3º Celsius, brrrrrr... I was warm inside "Buggy Bear" and I only made one kid cry, i got a little too close, he wasn't happy... the Arctic Trading Company won the best float, and the Churchill Regional Health Authority won for goofiest float... the igloo was made entirely out of recycled 4litre milk jugs, the ultimate in recycling?

Lookout it's a trap!
