a movie to watch

 After our latest tragedy everyone in town was talking about the movie "The Grizzlies".  This movie set in an Inuit town in Nunavut in many ways captures the challenges of this world.  I had some concerns about the "white saviour" theme but there is a lot of good in this movie and it is based on a true story.

Just to let  you know how tragic life is here, one of the stars Emerald MacDonald has just been murdered in her hometown of Kugluktuk. 

Anyway the movie can be found on CBC Gem.  I recommend it: Try this link :CBC Gem - The Grizzlies

You might notice that the shots in southern Ontario are from Guelph!  

And I would say the whole things was shot in May as the weather is way too mild and it isn't nearly dark enough! 

Get your kleenex ready!

Covid Test for Ian is negative

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!
