该地区的骄傲点是什么？
Galore Creek项目位于不列颠哥伦比亚省宽敞的西北地区的电报溪社区南部85公里。目前只有直升机才能搭乘直升机，距离海岸山脉的顶部侧面，提供崎岖的地形和令人印象深刻的冰川景观。该项目位于Tahltan领土内，为Tahltan业务提供就业和承包机会，人们是该项目的重要焦点。
Is there anything the area is famous for?
The area is known for obsidian, which is volcanic glass that is created when lava cools rapidly. Pre-contact, the Tahltan people collected obsidian from a volcanic complex in the area called Mount Edziza. Obsidian was used to make knives, arrowheads, spear points, scrapers and other tools. Obsidian from the area has been traded all over North America, and it was an important source of wealth for the Tahltan people. Much of what we know about this activity was learned from the numerous archeological sites in the region, including some within the project area.
关于该网站的知名知名呢？
Visitors who have not previously been to the site are often unaware of the scale of our helicopter operations. We typically have three to five helicopters on-site during our summer field programs. To ensure our aviation operations run safely, we have highly experienced pilots, dedicated helicopter engineers, an aviation advisor, and air operations and dispatch personnel coordinating all aviation activities. Averaging 20 hours of flight time each day, the project is among the largest aviation programs in Western Canada. Due to the pandemic and related impacts, we have been operating a reduced program in 2020, incorporating COVID-19 protocols, which included procedures around transportation and helicopter use.
What is your favourite restaurant in the community?
那些生活在营地期待的食物provided by Tahltan chef, Crystal Nole. Crystal is an excellent cook, and she keeps the crews happy with plenty of healthy, hearty and delicious fare. Salmon is a local favourite, particularly when it comes from the Stikine River, which flows through the region. The Tahltan people spend time together each summer along the Stikine River to gather as a community and fish for salmon. The Tahltan people use net fishing techniques, and the fish is preserved in several different ways, including drying in smokehouses, freezing and canning. The summer fish camp is central to the Tahltan culture, and I have really enjoyed the opportunity to experience this gathering.
What is a typical weekend like there?
People working at Galore Creek typically work on-site for a two- to three-week rotation before heading home for a break. Life in camp is very social and outside working hours and people enjoy working out together, going for walks, watching sports events, shooting pool or playing table tennis. Despite abnormally rainy weather during the 2020 field program, the crew enjoyed going for walks and eating meals outside while physically distancing due to COVID-19. The team anticipates return to a larger program next year with the formal initiation of a new prefeasibility study.
