First Nations' Fridays
Airplanes are one of the most popular methods of travel in the North. It is the best way to travel the very large distances that separate the communities of Canada's North. With three of its own airlines, the territories are well connected by air travel. But the convenience of air travel does not come without problems. Constant travel in airplanes is very expensive and the unpredictable weather of the North often disrupts flight schedules. But air travel is very important to the North. So important, in fact, that each town has its own airport where mail and supplies are brought in each week. In some areas, the mail is delivered each weekday, just like at your local post office. As well, pilots often use their planes as ambulances, taking the very sick to the nearest hospital, often located many hundreds of kilometres away.
