While offering a sense of freedom, “Driving on the winter ice road should not be taken lightly, as it places individuals and their families in risky situations that could leave them stranded in the middle of nowhere.”

Ice roads of winter freedom

By Xavier Kataquapit Winter road season has finally started again on the James Bay coast. This seasonal ice road is an important transportation route for everyone because it offers a sense of freedom, allowing people to travel away from their home communities for all kinds of activities. This is the time of year when major bingo events take place in the communities, and families from nearby First Nations can travel to visit their relatives. There are also major hockey tournaments that bring people together to take part in fun and exciting events.
