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.
Thank you so much for sharing your life and experiences in the North. I cannot think of two better people to share their skills with the citizens of that community. Well done!! 👌🤗 Ron
Hello all- Was just thinking about the south this morning and so made a little morning video:fixed the link. https://youtu.be/lD_lGkvix2I Have a great day.
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 up to because they are happy to help with airport pick ups
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!
