He is out in -55, getting water from the nearby river and then delivering it to town in this large water truck so that everyone can have access to water. He is doing this despite the fact that it is a holiday and most people are off celebrating with their families. Malcolm's hard at work.

Ice fishing huts are a great way to enjoy the beauty of Great Bear Lake while fishing. They provide shelter from the elements and a comfortable place to relax while waiting for a bite. Ice fishing huts come in a variety of sizes and styles, from small, portable shelters to large, permanent structures. They are typically equipped with a heater, a stove, and a comfortable seating area. Depending on the size of the hut, they can accommodate up to four people. Ice fishing huts are a great way to enjoy the lake and its abundant fish species which include rout, Northern Pike Whitefish, Walleye and Arctic Grayling in the lake

The ice road that connects Deline to Tulita and eventually leads up to Yellowknife is a seasonal road that is only open during the winter months. It is a vital link for the communities of the Northwest Territories, providing access to essential services and supplies. The road is made of ice and snow and is usually open from December to March. It is a treacherous journey, with temperatures often dropping to -40°C and strong winds. The road is also subject to frequent closures due to weather conditions. Despite the risks, the ice road is an important lifeline for the communities it serves.
