Welcome to my Elliot Lake Pages. I am working on them now..JULY 3
2010 and for the rest of the month..with new updated content &
IMPROVEMENTS
Elliot Lake is now 55 years old.
July 1 weekend, we had our Canada
Day festivities which included a
PARADE..(it used to be called the
URANIUM FESTIVAL) when the
town was a Uranium Mining Center.
Now it is called the "Jewel in the
Wilderness Festival". Elliot Lake was
carved out of rock.
You can actually see some of the
rocky terrain and hills in the
background of this shot.
Back in 1955..there was a real push
for using Nuclear power and building
weapons ect. Elliot Lake was red hot
with a Uranium deposit in the shape
of a big Z around the town site.
Since that time, other deposits of
Uranium with much higher
concentrations have been found..ie
Northern Saskatchewan.
Town under construction in the mid fifties. Some of these buildings are
still quite recognizable. In fact, this is where we had our recent street
dance July 1 weekend featuring Serena Ryder and Blue Rodeo..
this page and the
whole series of Elliot
Lake pages..is
currently being
worked on July 3/4
2010.
I should be finished
them in a day or two.
The ATV club was in the parade. ATVs up here are encouraged. We have many
miles of trails and about 2000 lakes within the greater city limits and lots of forests.
Fishing and Hunting and the outdoors is the big asset now that Uranium is not
being mined locally.-- YOU CAN SEE THE LINKS TO THE ELLIOT LAKE ATV CLUB,
ELLIOT LAKE RETIREMENT LIVING, THE COTTAGE LOT PROJECT..AT THE END OF
THIS PRESENTATION..JUST KEEP FOLLOWING THE PAGES THROUGH..OR YOU CAN
USE A SEARCH ENGINE SUCH AS GOOGLE TO FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION.
I took lots of pictures of Serena Ryder. Maybe some day she will make it as
big as Cheryl Crow or Shania Twain...who knows??? She was the opening
act for Blue Rodeo July 3rd Street Dance in the lower mall.
Blue Rodeo. They are good musicians. They played some new stuff and
near the end of the concert..some songs that I began to recognize from
the radio.
