| NWTFA hosted work parties at Thistlethwaite Lake on September 11 and September 19, 2024 to conduct a remote site clean-up. On the first day, 5 volunteers visited the site by floatplane and boat to gather debris for removal. We spent 4 hours collecting approximately 275 kg of junk and debris and positioning it for subsequent removal by floatplane to Yellowknife for disposal. Garbage collected included scrap metal, discarded building materials, empty fuel barrels, styrofoam, and general litter. On the second day, 4 volunteers returned to the site to retrieve the garbage and deliver it to the solid waste facility. NWTFA thanks Unsmoke Canada and The Great Outdoors Fund, for their support of this project. As a result of their assistance and the enthusiastic labour of volunteers from both NWTFA and CASARA, this site is once again an attractive spot to be enjoyed by kayakers and other outdoor enthusiasts.
