There is also a baseball diamond in the community. This is a five person detachment. All the houses have been recently repainted and will be getting new carpet throughout. Doctors, dentists and medical specialists visit the community regularly on a monthly basis. Any medical matters with a serious diagnosis are promptly medevac to Inuvik and if warranted, to Edmonton or Yellowknife for further treatment.
Work is steady all year round.
This community is wide open as far as liquor is concerned, compared to some other communities that are controlled or dry. Liquor related offences comprise most of our workload. A private vehicle is not essential at this posting, however, if you decide not to bring a vehicle you will be limited to what you can do around the area during your time off. The odd patrol is made to Eagle Plains Lodge, approximately 200 km. These are overnight patrols and are a good break from town.
