Labrador
Adventurous Media will be filming a motorcycle trip across Labrador on
the
Trans
Labrador Highway.
One member of the team, Thane Silliker, previously rode through the
province when Phase II of the highway was completed in 2002.
That article was
published in the Toronto Star Wheels section.
Phase II linked
together many coastal communities that were previously isolated by
ferry.
However, it was still necessary to take a ferry to travel back
and forth from Goose Bay and Labrador City.
In December, 2009, the final phase of this highway was opened to the
public.
This last section is known as Phase III.
It links the two previously completed sections of highway in the
mainland half of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
This road opens up the province like never before.
Trade, tourism, and travel will undergo fundamental changes that will
make a difference in the lives of everyone in Labrador.
We intend to discover what changes have been made, and attempt to
discover how residents and their governments will deal with the change
on the horizon.
Travel is still difficult in Labador, and likely always will be.
We will brave the rough and lonely roads so that we may show this
wonderful land to the world.
Adventurous Media is involved in the new reality TV show featuring the heavy rock band Helix. Filming is taking place in 2010 and 2011 for release in 2011. Thane Silliker is acting in the role of cameraman for the series.
