I just got back from a quick work trip to Fort Good Hope. Situated over 300 km from Inuvik, upstream on the Mackenzie River, this is a little Sahtu Dene community of about 500 people.

A street in Fort Good Hope.

The Ritz. Well, not quite. But I stayed at this B+B anyways.
A gem in Good Hope: this church is about 130 years old!
Detailed woodwork, even on the door.

A very ornate inside, complete with gold stars on the ceiling.
Colourful front window.
On the flight back, where I was joined by other Inuvik-based colleagues returning from other Sahtu communities.
A veritable allied health team: PT, OT, SLP and RD!
