Growing Up in Cambridge Bay

Colin, 14 --
I sent my Grandpa a photo of when I was leading the Cadets, and he said it looked exactly like my great uncle Wendel Clark. He was the sharpest and tallest man in the whole battalion. It's what my Grandpa said about me in my uniform.

Absolutely beautiful photos of our young people! It is awesome that we can portray our small part of the world on the global net for all to see...

Just read about this place on Wiki. after a random look at a map. I had some preconceived ideas of what the people would look like...everyone with beards and bear skins on the floors. Boy I was wrong!! People in California think of Minnesota(where I live) as people fighting off wolves etc and I thought the same of the upper parts of Canada. Thank you for the education

Thanks for the reminder of what the Arctic was like. I spent 6 years in the north, but came south almost 20 years ago. I still miss it.
