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!
Sharon’s visit to Igloolik included spending several enjoyable days at the high school presenting the Raise Your Voice: Self-Advocacy Workshop.

When in Resolute and Arctic Bay, David delivered several Raise Your Voice: Self-Advocacy Workshops with youth and would like to thank everyone who attended. One of the highlights for David was meeting many young people who were curious and happy to speak with him about our office.
Sherry and Sharon enjoyed chatting about life in the community with many friendly Kimmirummiut.
