for Native hockey players and their fans, winning the Battlefords

All-Native Hockey Tournament is the pinnacle of the season. Some have

even compared it to the Stanley Cup.

Saskatchewan and Alberta to successfully defend the title during the

Fifteen years after a teenaged Steve Collins won a ski jumping world

championship, the Ojibwa from Thunder Bay is a much rustier, but still

capable, air traveler. He got the chance in March to once again look

down, even if briefly, upon the audience of 13,000 which gathered for

the opening ceremonies of the 1995 World Nordic Ski Championships.

He was not a competitor this time around, but an organizer. As Thunder

Bay's native son, however, he had the honor of lighting the ceremonial

flame.

This is the story of how a First Nation community turned a

less-than-perfect experience to its advantage.

In 1984, the Six Nations band council of Ohsweken, Ont., found itself

with a housing shortage. With financial assistance from Canada Mortgage

and House Corporation, the council built a six-unit apartment building

nine single-family homes.

However, the apartment building fell considerably short of meeting

residents' needs. The stairs posed access problems for people with

In Nunavik, the vast region of Quebec north of the 55th parallel,

extreme weather conditions present designers and builders with

formidable challenges.

Violent winds sweep snow into massive snow banks, and the slightest

average, the heating season in Nunavik is twice as long as in Montreal.

Permafrost and sensitive clay soils become unstable when warmed by heat

loss from buildings above. There are no local water and sever systems,
