The other thing, too, because of the great resource we have, the reserve requested the department to see whether they might be able to use Swot Lake for cultural programs. I don't think the department has supported that. Swot Lake is used sometimes in the summer, but it is not used all the time. In the last several years it hasn't been used and even if it is used it is in a very limited way.

Swot Lake was first established to look at fires around that area. Now there is less fire in our area, but we have about eight buildings that aren't used. We hope that you would look at having those facilities used, if not for cultural programs then at least open it during the winter months so that other organizations can use it. Even schools in Hay River, for example, should be able to have trips out there.
