Wow! Watched the video. I feel uncomfortable when it is -2 degrees. Dianna thinks I should have thought about it when I immigrated! Balaclavas and hats + a hood must be too hot when it gets a bit warmer. It's going to be climate shock when you come back in June, but it might feel like luxury. Still, your trip and work sound highly engaging. Best of luck with it... Bill
So we arrived safely after three days in transit. Thanks for following our adventures. It will take us a long time to think about and process all we observed, participated in and experienced.
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!
Here are the photos of our community circle before our walk on Wednesday! There was a great turn out and many students made it the 7.8!km to the airport! Most got rides home but the spirit was positive and I think everyone felt like they were doing something. The Elder who spoke said that “our young people dying for reasons other than disease hurts too much and that we all need to be strong for each other.” It was really powerful! The walk was windy and long with bare patches and snow banks like this It was a good day.
You guys are amazing! What an adventure. I didn’t realized that you were both retired.
