Taking

On
March 27, we went for an ice fishing trip to nearby Barnoin River. It
took place during the Grade 5 & 6 Exchange and we took our Montreal
friends along with us. The trip takes about 45 minutes from the village
and the trail crosses miles of tundra before dropping down into the
river valley. We had a great sunny day and some of us caught fish.

Our
mayor, Maggie Emudluk, spoons the ice out of the hole so Matthew can
jig better.

Melanie
and Nancy chose their hooks carefully.

Admiring some of the catch. |

We
took a break from fishing to have a fire and lunch. Angutinguaq kept
an eye on the tea kettle.
|
Kendra,
Qaajui, and Qaajui's parents enjoyed a char baked on the fire for lunch.

|
For
most of the students, the best part of the day was the ski-doo ride
to, from, and around the lakes.
|
|
 |
 |
|
It
was also a great day for some snowshoeing in the trees.
|
We
even found a porcupine. It added some real excitement!
