Seniors' Community Luncheon 24 April 2007
with Sinclair Harris on Northern life.
Posted April 24, 2007

On Tuesday, 24 April 2007, a sunny, cool day, a number of seniors from Summerlea and the surrounding community met in St. Andrew's Hall to enjoy lunch, meet some other folks and, on this day, hear about the experiences of nursing in the north, by Sinclair Harris of the Summerlea congregation. Following are a few photos of the proceedings (pickable to see a larger version).

Sinclair has spent several sessions as a trainer mid-wife at Inukjuak, half-way up the east coast of Hudson Bay. (Photo taken from the screen projection of her slides.)

Some of the folks entranced by Sinclair's talk.

Grainy photos of Sinclair's slides, to give a small flavour of the talk. Some village scenes.

Scenes from a way of life rarely practiced now.

Village folks. Carver Fox furs (hundreds!) A feast of caribou, seal, etc.

A few examples of modern northern craftwork.

Many thanks to Sinclair and to the folks who prepared, set up, served and cleaned up. We hope to see you again in late May at the last luncheon before summer break.
