Ulluriaq Climbing Project |

With support from New Paths in Education and PM Climbing, a 12’ x 24’ climbing wall was constructed in the gym—the first of its kind in Nunavik! Under the expert guidance of physical education teacher, Pascal Poulin, students learned skills and safety related to rock climbing. More importantly however, students learned to: maintain good health habits, cooperate in teams, trust their peers, solve problems and drive themselves to succeed. All the students from Kindergarten to Secondary 5 have had a chance to climb in their gym classes. In addition, students with a special interest in climbing attend the after school Climbing Club and have even competed in friendly contests.
The climbing skills learned at the school may lead to employment as guides in the future Kuururjuaq National Park to be located just east of Kangiqsualujjauq in the Torngat Mountains. A very special thanks to Pascal who spearheaded the project and made it a huge success.
