The ground in front of the Hazelton Hospital was the location for many a social and sporting event in Hazelton. From the picnics to small informal gatherings such as the one in the photograph below, from football matches to tennis parties, it was very much a centre of the Hazelton community. In this photograph, Alice Wrinch is perhaps in the group on the left. On the porch is perhaps Dr. Wrinch’s Newfoundland dog, the one that the Rev. Osterhout gave him in September 1900 and which he used to carry his medical supplies on his weekly journeys from Kispiox into Hazelton. The date is somewhere between 1904 and 1914.
