Arctic Update: Closing down
Monday the school was closed due to a blizzard warning. Later in the day I attempted to walk to the hardware store. It wasn’t the “hardware” I needed, there is an M&Ms Frozen Food franchise embedded in the store and I was going to purchase some food. Well I suppose you could say “what a mistake!!!!”. The wind was so intense I found myself breathing extremely hard trying to walk. It took the breath…

Arctic Update: Old and New
Arctic Update: Old and New
During Professional Development Week we took a trip “to the land”. This expression was used in the Ojibwae community I worked in too. In a school context it is something akin to the phrase “field trip”. Our trip to the land was a trip to the school’s cabin.
The cabin used to be a portable and is outside of town and there are a number of other cabins around. People go there, perhaps to get away…

Chief Dr. Robert Joesph
I find Chief Dr. Robert Joseph’s call for reconciliation with First Nations Communities – and indeed with all who are at the margins of mainstream Canada – compelling in vision and profoundly inspiring. I hope you do too.

When Does 2 Frozen Pizzas + Toothpaste + Pringles = $43 ?
When Does 2 Frozen Pizzas + Toothpaste + Pringles = $43 ?
Answer, when you’re in Iqaluit. A rueben at a nice coffee shop cost $18. It was a good reuben, even if it didn’t come with any sides.
I landed here yesterday. I’m here for some training before starting as vice-principal at Qitiqliq Middle School in Arviat, NU in mid-August. Flew up in a 737. Passengers are put in the back half of the plane. The front half is used for cargo. Sure, Canada is…

The Real Work
I came across this poem today. I hope it moves you as it does me.
The Real Work
It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings. …

I Never Thought I’d Be Called This …
Grade 7 & 8 students have an intriguing talent for nicknames. Some of them can even be published on a blog like this.
They’ve come up with a new nickname for me. I was able to extract from them exactly why this particular name was chosen. I’ll get to that.
I should tell you I know next to nothing about sports. What I do know is slightly outdated. When I happen to catch a ball game I wonder…

Even (Especially) Principals Learn
One of the positives of my Northern adventure is the accompanying intellectual growth.
I find teaching much more interesting this time ’round. For example, The Principal Qualifications Courses (Parts I & II) have proven to be surprisingly thought provoking.
I have an interest in mindfulness and non-violent communication. Well it turns out educators do too. Learning about Canada’s…

Cascade
The snowplough was on duty after last Monday’s snowfall. It knocked a water main resulting in an ongoing spill of treated water.
The incident happened just outside my teacherage. The orange and green tarps are covering the area under repair.
The water plant asked that we close the school to conserve water. We stayed closed until Thursday. We brought in some bottled water in anticipation of…
