  I spoke of my time with the Inuit and the legacy of the residential schools with my new cadet unit. 

driving through Iqualit in the taxi The industrial park beginning the next journey to Ottawa   Having my first Starbucks in a year. Teaching in Nunavut was an interesting experience. I'd do it again if given the chance. One of the many adventures in my life And when I got back to Halifax, I found this exhibit on the DEW line
