Spring

 I was out at recess with the Kindergarten to grade 2's.  This is Spring in Whale Cove.

 

 

 

 The older students headed out on the Land to Ice Fish.  I have a new understanding of what is warm and what is cold.  We don't wear goggles unless riding on a machine and we don't always put our hoods up.  I wear my Mukluks instead of my Baffin boots and my lighter weight ski pants.

It will be May next week!  The sun rose at 5:16 this morning and will not set until 8:59.  After that it is still light for quite awhile.  The morning sun is VERY bright. many of us look like raccoons because of our glasses/googles tans!

    Hi Beth and Ian:
    I didn't have any news about you for a while and so i went exploring.
    Glad to see you are beginning to experience the spring and longer days.
    Would be glad to know when and if you are returning to Guelph, so that we can have a good chat.

    So far I am well, and have had by first vaccine shot, though like everyone I am beginning to be weary of the lock down. I guess your community of Whale cove has been spared.

    Stay well and many blessings

    Bill

Sundays in Whale Cove

Image
This was our first Sunday in our new home!  We went for a walk down to the harbour and there was a great view of Hudson Bay!  It was a windy Day.  The Weather App told us that with the wind chill it was -42 celcius!  Kids were tobogganing without covered faces.  Everyone who goes by waves and says hello!   We discovered that the COOP which is the one store in town is not open on Sundays, so we decided to head back after we stopped at the Bay. Then we had a call from the DEA secretary. She is the District Educational Authority secretary.  Sort of like a local set of Trustees.  Her daughter works for CALM Air and had let her mother know that our shipped goods had arrived.  So  Agatha, the secretary called the local bus driver and asked him to fire up the bus and head to the airport to pick up our stuff.  We have no vehicle and the airport is about 7 km away.  The other option we would have had was to check what the local RCMP was...

Covid Test for Ian is negative

Image
  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!
