Draft:Axe Point
Former Military Base / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Axe Point is a former military site located on the South side of the Mackenzie River in an isolated portion of the Dehcho region of the Northwest Territories. The 61 hectare site lies 60 km west of Fort Providence, and includes an abandoned military camp, emergency airstrip and operations site as well as a former Dene village consisting of cabins and gravesites. The military camp was constructed in 1942 in support of the construction of the Canadian Oil (CANOL) trail pipeline project undertaken by Imperial Oil Ltd and the United States Army.[1]
