Pre-Northern Adventure

10 Suitcases in total plus what we shipped up in advance!

We will be leaving Guelph on December 29 and heading to Winnipeg for two weeks of isolation. Then we fly into Nunavut, eventually arriving in the small community of Whale Cove. Follow along as we occasionally post pictures, videos and thoughts of our adventures in Canada's Arctic.

Feel free to share this link with anyone who might be interested.  Can't imagine that it will sustain attention for too long, but well we were asked to share so here it is!  

More to come!

  Ian's Covid test came back negative which is a relief.  We are allowed to go outside to walk in the back parking lot supervised while he has symptoms but can't walk at the front where we might see other people and come into contact with them.  We did 20 laps this morning that worked out to just over 5 km with our awesome new boots on! Meanwhile, we spend lots of our time indoors studying the Nunavut Education Documents.  They are really interesting.  I have been looking into what is called "Land Based Instruction" and came across the list below.  Clearly we will be learning a lot!
