So, I'm back online again and hopefully that means I will be able to post a little more often again.
This Monday, I am headed out on a week long visit to the community of Igloolik to follow-up on clients, do some new assessments (in person) and hopefully discharge some people! We try to visit each community (I think there are about 11 total) once/year. Due to staffing shortages that hasn't happened quite as well as they would like but it means I get to do a visit which I am pretty excited about!
Its hard to tell on this map, but Igloolik is not actually on Baffin Island, and its in the arctic circle which means I will get to see (but not touch) the arctic ocean! It's not a very mountainous place, but one of the larger communities in Nunavut (1500 people). I'm most excited to see the big inukshuks in town! I'll keep you posted on the hours of daylight, from what I can tell online, it doesn't get light until about 9am. And they have already have 4 blizzard days, so there is a high likelihood that I will get one too! (I'm not sure if I am happy about that or not)
I hope to be online while up there, but I'll be sure to add pictures either way and I'm sure I have some good stories when I return.
