A few monts after we left Uranium City for Seminary, the mine announced that it would be shutting down. That winter many people moved out over the winter road. Some good friends of ours sent us this picture. Someone had put up this sign where you entered the ice road across Lake Athabasca.

Although Uranium City still exists as a small northern village (more like a goast town), the era of being a bustling mining town had ended. The town had survived for some thirty years, seeing several cycles of boom and bust.

Some of our best friends to this day are folk from our church in Uranium City. At least four couples presently live in the Edmonton area and we are able to reconnect with them now and then. Those are always precious times of fellowship.Posted by Hello
