Points North Landing
Points North Landing is a permanent camp northwest of Wollaston Lake, on Saskatchewan Highway 905 in Saskatchewan, Canada. It has an airport and a water aerodrome, with almost daily flights provided by West Wind Aviation and Transwest Air. Gasoline, diesel, mechanics, lumber yard and accommodations are available. University of Waterloo's geological engineering student Kenton Carnegie lost his life when timber wolves attacked him in this area on November 8, 2005.
The site is used as a staging area and logistics area for a variety of activities in Northern Saskatchewan. All-weather roads connect the location to the south and temporary winter roads are constructed from Points North Landing to various communities in the North. Several uranium mines are located near the site including Cigar Lake and Key Lake.
