Salluit, QC: And to think our parents were worried we wouldn’t eat enough in Salluit…
http://salluitquebec.blogspot.com/2011/06/and-to-think-our-parents-were-worried.html
Monday, 6 June 2011. And to think our parents were worried we wouldn’t eat enough in Salluit…. It seems like just yesterday that we first arrived, but our final week in Salluit has already begun! At the Rehab Centre we taught the boys about bullying and conflict resolution. They listened well and participated despite the lesson being far less exciting than their last lesson on sexual health. We even tried raw mussels and fresh picked seaweed. Despite being frozen, we managed to get just enough Mussel...

Salluit, QC: The ABC's of Salluit
http://salluitquebec.blogspot.com/2011/06/abcs-of-salluit.html
Wednesday, 1 June 2011. The ABC's of Salluit. A is for Annie Alaku -. With Annie after her amazing presentations. B is for Bannock - Following Annie's presentation we had planned to cook Bannock with the cooking class, but our Bannock expert (the school guidance counsellor) was nowhere to be found! I don’t think it was up to their standards, as they didn’t eat much of it and laughed a lot. Meanwhile, we couldn’t stop eating our somewhat delicious creation! C is for Climb (number two! E taught several cla...

Salluit, QC: Another snowy day in May!
http://salluitquebec.blogspot.com/2011/05/another-snowy-day-in-may.html
Saturday, 28 May 2011. Another snowy day in May! As we sit writing this blog the snow keeps falling. The weather report calls for sunshine, but the chilly weather keeps persisting! While this might be hurting our plans to gain a raccoon tan, its great for the villagers who are still able to fish on the frozen lake. Despite the perilous ride the views were beautiful, and we felt extremely privileged to be invited along on the trip. Visiting Josapie's fishing cabin with his grandchildren. On Friday Barbara...

Salluit, QC: From Movie Madness to Henna Hysteria
http://salluitquebec.blogspot.com/2011/05/from-movie-madness-to-henna-hysteria.html
Monday, 23 May 2011. From Movie Madness to Henna Hysteria. As this blog is written we are sitting in our living room with feet up and a warm drink in hand, completely exhausted from an incredible 5 and half hour hike through the tundra with two of Ikusik’s teachers. The view, the land, the birds, the calmness and the difficult climb left us amazed. Though it may take time to realize it, the North is truly an incredible untouched gem. In the last couple of days we have been going non-stop as per usual!

Dear family, friends, and devoted readers: we are sad to report that this is our last blog post, but we have spent an incredible six weeks in Salluit that we will never forget.

Salluit, QC: “What rhymes with uterus?” We’re not very good at blog titles…
http://salluitquebec.blogspot.com/2011/05/what-rhymes-with-uterus-were-not-very.html
Wednesday, 18 May 2011. 8220;What rhymes with uterus? 8221; We’re not very good at blog titles…. Our second weekend in Salluit was tiring and exciting! We’re hoping to set up our table at the Co-Op (the grocery store) this weekend, which we expect will have a better turn out, since it is one of the only two grocery stores in town. The garage sale was an epic fail, at least our table looked good! Wide eyes, diagrams, and great questions! On Tuesday, we had our first lesson at Sapumivik, the rehabilitation...

Salluit, QC: The Salluit Sistazz Settle In
http://salluitquebec.blogspot.com/2011/05/salluit-sistazz-settle-in.html
Friday, 13 May 2011. The Salluit Sistazz Settle In. Mel "out on the land". We can’t believe we’ve already been here for more than a week! Time flies when you are running around all day with classes here, meetings there and after school activities. Teeth brushing and flossing (my dentist would be proud! We even had our first hand raised for a question today – which by the way is a really big deal! Our new love = breakfast club! Not only is buttering and peanut-buttering toast at lightening speed fun, but ...
