PHOTO CONTEST! WIN PRIZES! Last year, the Sahtú Gotı̨ch'ádı́ı - Wildlife of the Sahtú Region and ENR worked in partnership to produce the Sahtú Gotı̨chádı́ı Calendar 2017 (Wildlife of the Sahtu). Click here for link to calendar: http://srrb.nt.ca/index.php?option=com_docman&view=document&alias=1601-sahtu-harvest-calendar-2017&category_slug=public&Itemid=697 We are hoping that Sahtu residents would like to be involved in creating the 2018 Calendar. We’re looking for ideas on themes; we really want this to be a calendar that represents the Sahtu, so any input is appreciated! We're also holding a photo contest, send us pics of any activity out on the land (hunting, trapping, berry picking etc.). All submissions will be used in future communications material (posters, presentations, etc.). More information will be posted once we determine what the prizes will be. The deadline for submissions (ideas and pictures) is August 1, 2017. Contact Jennie at 867-587-3502 for more information (you can call collect).

It's that time of year once again, the days are getting longer, the sun is finally gracing us with it's presence, the snow is melting and the bears are coming out. Now that the sun is out and it's warmer, you're more inclined to spend your days outside, while doing so please be cautious of any wildlife that may be around especially bears.

Norman Wells fit test 2017

Check out this video for a glimpse of the intensity of going through the annual Fire Fighter fit test. There are 2 classes of firefighters in the NWT: Type 1 and Type 2. The Norman Wells crew are trying out for the Type 1 where they have to complete the test within the national time which is 14 mins 30 secs. Being a type 1 fire crew allows for them to be exported to other provinces to fight wildland fires.

For the most part of February and March Sahtu's ENR Biologist, Stephanie Behrens, helped Karen Dunmall of DFO in processing all the salmon that were collected in the fall from the Mackenzie River by Norman Wells and Fort Good Hope as well as by Deline in the Great Bear Lake. A total of 150 Salmon were caught in the Sahtu, 135 of them were processed in the ENR lab in Norman Wells and 15 of them were not because they consisted of just the head or tail. Without the help of the monitors hired by the Norman Wells RRC, the processing of the fish would have been an extremely difficult task for Stephanie. After the fish were processed, they were sent to Winnipeg for Karen and her crew to do further processing and analysis. A big Mahsi Cho to Bryson Rogers (in photos), Chris Brass and Rhea McDonald for helping out and to the Norman Wells RRC for organizing the help.
