Still in Fermont

Posted: August 23, 2010 in Trans-Labrador

Hanging out at my friends place in Fermont.

He is off to work today, think I might go check out Wabush and Labrador city.

Fermont is on the quebec side of the Labrador & Quebec border. The mining company built a huge 1.1km wall structure shaped like a boomerang which houses all of the cities facilities. Schools, healthcare, apartments, bar, grocery, various stores, a restaurant, etc… all are housed inside this enourmous wall. The Walls also serves to protect the community from the strong Northern winds. As the community grows some people have begun building houses near the wall for protection.

This photo is of the inside of the Fermont wall. Notice how the inside of the wall is filled with apartments. You can also see some townhouses that have been built near the wall for protection.
