Travelling to Canada from the United States?

Are you a US citizen thinking about a trip to Canada this year?  Have you ever wondered what about travel documents that are required?  The rules are not complicated however with all the ”buzz” in the past few years about border security, etc. one can be left with considerable confusion about the rules.  Essentially, you require a passport and you must comply with having one by June 1, 2009 to travel from Canada into the United States.  For further detailed information please go to the Department of Homeland security web site at  http://www.dhs.gov/xtrvlsec/crossingborders/ or if you prefer to apply for your passport immediately you can by going to http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738_2.html

April showers bring May flowers? What happened to our shower let alone the flowers?

April 20, 2009

Greetings to one and all from the desk of Mattice Lake Outfitters and Wabakimi Air.

It is April 20th and we at Mattice Lake Outfitters are really wondering where our Spring is going?  Was Spring 2008 this way as well?  If many of you recall we were iced out of many outpost camp locations on opening weekend.  In fact we had several guests questioning whether or not this could really be true as at home in the US Spring was in full force with flowers in bloom and green landscapes abound.  As to not complain too much we did have a few days of sunshine which has taken care of some of the snow in the bush and the ice on the lakes however on the other hand we have heard of many local fisherman in the area still out ice fishing so that certainly does not sound Spring like to us.

We hope that with this blog and several other social medias we can keep you up to date with what is happening at Mattice Lake Outfitters and Wabakimi Air.

Cheers from everyone at the base.
