I spent two summers at Lupin as part of the reclamation team. The mine is shut down. I am unsure as to the future of the airport, with the opening of the Jerhico mine site.

History

In the 1950 and 60s this was known as Contwoyto Lake, where there was a small (4 person) camp operated by Pacific Western Airlines (since merged with Canadian Pacific Airlines, subsequently bought by Air Canada) but paid for by the Canadian Federal Government. I was one of the four man crew during 1965-66. There was a large Quonset hut and a smaller shed which housed a diesel generator, a backup generator, fuel, and a small tractor. At this time there was no official landing strip, just a dirt strip for emergencies. Planes used floats in the summer and skis on the lake in winter. The main function of the station was to operate a radio beacon (WO) and secondarily to radio weather observations hourly to Yellowknife, NWT.
