While in Grise Fiord, David met many people who were tremendously welcoming and were always glad to hear he was having a good time there. He really enjoyed the opportunity he had to go into the fiord and to see the glacier.

Warm spring weather in Naujaat meant that many community members were out and about wearing light jackets or even just t-shirts in mid-May! Sharon had fun presenting the Raise Your Voice: Self-Advocacy Workshop to many students in the beautiful new high school and playing the Rights Dice Game with the children in grades 3 to 6. Sharon thanks the Grade 8 students for teaching her how to quickly fold an RCYO Frisbee so it fits in the carrying pouch!
