The trail markers from Postville is marked half ways to Makkovik to Little Neck are still up.
We spoke with Glenn Sheppard who is the AngajukKâk.
Sheppard says that the trail markers will still be up depending on the ice conditions and temperatures.
There is also a trail marked from Postville to Hopedale.
The Postville area is responsible for the half way point, and Hopedale is responsible for the other half.
Sheppard would like to add if people are travelling on the trail, especially from North West River, individuals are to be cautious; it’s that time of year to keep your eyes open especially around the brook areas.
We also spoke with Marjorie Flowers who is the AngajukKâk for Hopedale.
She says the season for the trail markers for this year from Hopedale to Natuashish this year is finishing.
She says due to weather they couldn’t take them out this week.
So sometime next week, they will be taking the trail markers out on the next fine day.
She also said that they had trails from Hopedale to Iggiak.
And hoping by next year, Flowers says there will be emergency lodges between Hopedale and Natuashish for anyone who needs a place to stay for the night.
Charlotte Wolfrey the AngajukKâk for Rigolet says the trail markers that were placed in open areas on the ice such as the marsh were taken out on April 16.
