Canadian Holidays

What to do over the holidays?  Well, hockey is a good option.  We had some friends over for a little “road hockey”.  Just like when we were kids.  The only real difference was being in our own yard we did not need to yell “CAR!” to let passing vehicles by.

A blast from the past

A few months ago, a guest of Ignace Airways from the 60’s sent us a copy of a brochure of Metionga Lake dated 1968.

Check out the rates.  $99.00 for 5 days.  Notice the weight restrictions even then.  We allow 100 lbs now and have considerably more in our cabins. 

What did other things cost in 1968? 

Cost of Living 1968

Year End Dow Jones Industrial Average 943
Average Cost of new house $14,950.00
Average Income per year $7,850.00
Average Monthly Rent $130.00
Gas per Gallon 34 cents
Average Cost of a new car $2,822.00
Movie Ticket$1.50
The Federal Hourly Minimum Wage $1.60 an hour

All things considered the rates are better today!  What a great deal!  And the fishing is even better with our catch and consume policies.  As the brochure says, “NO BETTER FISHING ANYWHERE”
