Our good old government is closing the habitation of
York Factory on Hudson's Bay... This is what started the HBC many years ago.
As of next year there will not be a grounds keeper,all artifacts are being removed.
Pitty for all canoes that end up there re enacting the fur route.

Parks Canada was maintaining its. Origional wooden structures With someone li ing thee there was little da
Damage Canoest would. Use the statamps they branded the fur to their paddles. Instant wall hangers when they got home. I have only flown over it going goose hunting at Camp nanowire on cape tatum.

Very sorry indeed to see the York Factory site close down. A Canadian iconic site for sure.

The worst part was they spent 30,000$ on a Open house the other day for a children museum and got 7 seconds of news coverage . Was planning a canoe trip there next year. If it is still standing ATreaty days there the plane flys back canoes to Gilliam and 37.50$ gets it shipped to Winnipeg The same price as a bag of beaver.😘
