We did get to go on a little trip yesterday to a cave on Beloeil Island. Anne strapped a kamotik onto her skidoo for Rebekah and I to ride it, and away we went with some other teachers from school (and two riffles for safety). The weather network was reading -34 before windchill which changed our original plan to see the hoodoos on Bylot Island. The Parks outfitted Rebekah and I to prepare us for the weather.

Back up another day to Saturday which was a very busy day in town! We headed to the flea market to witness lots of jello and pudding parfaits, arctic char soup, and homemade boston cream donuts which didn't last long. There were also two tables selling prints and a table of FREE clothes. After the market we stopped by the local pond which is now skating ice where the Health Centre was putting on a BBQ and skating event to promote physical activity. From there we headed down to the elementary school where the Canadian Junior Rangers (middle school aged students) were hosting a fun fair. It was neat to see my of my students in leadership roles. Even in a remote community like Pond Inlet you can always find something to do! It's about putting yourself out there which I have also discovered in my job search.
