2. BACKGROUND:
The Contwoyto Lake Weather Station site was originally a small
camp built and operated by Pacific Western Airlines (PWA) during
the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line Site construction c. 1956.
PWA built the existing buildings which included the Quonset
living quarters, power house, beacon building and airstrip and
installed the communications equipment that existed at the site.
In 1978, Transport Canada acquired the site to establish a
telecommunications and navigational aid station. By 1980,
Transport Canada was looking into abandoning the site, for the
more economical option of establishing a nondirectional beacon
(NDB) air navigation aid at the nearby Echo Bay Mines - Lupin
Site. In 1984, the Coppermine Hunters and Trappers Organization
(HTO) took over responsibility for the site buildings and
established it as an outpost camp.

The Contwoyto Lake Weather Station is located on the
northwestern shore of an unnamed island situated approximately
one third of the way northbound on Contwoyto Lake in the
Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut (Figure C01). The approximate centre
of the site is located at the coordinates N. 7262655.59, E.
529028.15 (NAD 83 CSRS). The site is approximately 190 km
southwest of Bathurst Inlet, Nunavut, about 330 km southeast of
Kugluktuk, Nunavut and 400 km northeast of Yellowknife,
Northwest Territories.
