Vol. 3034

Remi Lake, Ontario

The photographs taken during the Moose Factory and Moosonee trip for the adhesions to Treaty 9 in the summer of 1935 were probably by Commissioner H.N. Awrey. This file was formerly part of the Red Series, RG 10, vol. 3034, file 235,225, part C, and was later transferred to the Photo Division, accession 1971-205. The images in the RG 10 file are copies of the original photographs. 3 pages

The Provincial Air Camp at Remi Lake. This lake is about three miles from Moonbeam, the nearest point on the C.N.R. [Canadian National Railway]. The camp is located on an island about five miles from the shore nearest Moonbeam.

From this camp the Treaty 9 party starts the real trip inland. From Ottawa to North Bay and then to Remi -- the flying hours being between five and six hours. There is accommodation for about thirty people.

H.N. Awrey (Indian Affairs Commissioner)
