The contractors and the satellite dish pieces arrived in Sioux Lookout on Wednesday, June 2. Thanks to some great coordination by the team from Cygnial (Tom Wolstencroft), K-Net, and everyone else involved, it now looks like everything is now in place to begin constructing the new satellite earth station. 

Two large transport trucks delivered the various components that will be assembled over the next two weeks. Paul and Pat arrived from Toronto to begin putting the various pieces together.

K-Net will be documenting this ongoing development on-line. Watch this construction project unfold by visiting the photo gallery and clicking on each of the days to watch this new dish become a reality.

Eagle Lake First Nation is working with a number of different partners to host a Residential School/Family Wellness Gathering scheduled for July 1 to 4, 2004 on their famous camping grounds on the shore of Eagle Lake.

Everyone is welcomed at this important event, as are financial contributions to ensure the gathering is a success for everyone attending.

An important part of the gathering is the youth day and daily youth sessions for learning and sharing with the youth. Workshop leaders and speakers are well known facilitators who will help make this special event another strong step in the healing process required to address First Nation, family and personal issues created by the residential school system.
