Tonight I had the great pleasure of speaking to a lecture hall full of children about life in the Arctic, complete with pictures, videos, and a special guest visit from our Labrador Husky, Nuna, who gave one lucky child a little sled ride.
Kids make the best audience, and ask the most dynamic and interesting questions, and I was pleased to share stories about working and travelling in the North. And special thanks to folks in Nunatsiavut for suggesting what they would like kids here in Cape Breton to know!
Many thanks to the organizers of Children’s University (especially Kellie White!), an amazing initiative that takes place the last Tuesday of every month, and welcomes children to Cape Breton University to learn about fun topics and experience what it’s like at a university.
