TRANSPORTATION | |||
| We have a Charter Flight organized for our clients between Montreal and Schefferville/Lac Pau. All clients will meet at the Holiday Inn Hotel near the Pierre Elliot Trudeau Airport in Montreal. Parking will be available and all vehicles will be guarded 24 hrs per day. We will provide transportation to and from the charter flight. If you are flying to Montreal and plan to overnight at this hotel they will provide you with free shuttle service. Telephone them upon arrival at the airport (use the courtesy phone). All transportation is provided during your arrival and departure from Schefferville/Lac Pau. | |||
ACCOMODATION IN SCHEFFERVILLE | |||
| Although there is no scheduled overnight stay in Schefferville/Lac Pau, should your flight be delayed due to unfavorable weather conditions, we will accomodate you in our bunkhouse at no extra charge. Please note that for any unforseen situations which are out of our control and considered "Acts of God" which prevent you from either leaving Montreal on schedule or returning to Montreal on schedule, all meals will be at your cost as well as any hotel rooms in Montreal. | |||
OTHER | |||
| You can purchase beer, liquor, or soda to bring to camp with you by using the form which will be sent to you with your receipt for the 2/3 payment. Fishing, small game (ptarmigan) and bear licences can be purchased during your meeting with Amanda in Montreal. | |||
WEATHER | |||
| We recommend that you dress in layers since the weather in the North often changes four times per day. The temperature during August hunts could go as high as 75 degrees during the day and freezing at night. Hunts from begining to mid September could be as warm as 60 degrees during the day and below freezing at night. From mid-September until the first week of October, you should expect late fall/early winter temperatures with snowy, windy conditions. A good quality rain suit is a must no matter what time of the season you will be hunting. | |||
TIPS | |||
| In our experience, it is customary to give your guide and cook a tip. These tips vary with the performance of the employee and of course what you can afford. However, many clients ask what is the norm, so they will better know how much money to bring with them. Cook's tips are usually around $50.00 and guide's tips around $100.00 per person. Of course this practise is left to your discretion. | |||
