Nunatsiavut to Nunavut Expedition 2024: Update One – SOI

July 30, 2024

Leading up to the 2024 Nunatsiavut to Nunavut Expedition, youth arrived in Ottawa from all across Canada and abroad for pre-expedition activities. For many of us who had long travel days and were adjusting to a new time zone, we enjoyed an afternoon exploring Ottawa. Some went on a bike riding tour along the Rideau Canal to Hog’s Back Falls Lookout, while others explored the Canadian Museum of Nature or toured Parliament Hill.

We kicked-off our first full day together and headed over to Camp Fortune in Chelsea, Quebec where we traversed the treetops in an aerial park and went zip lining. The activity was amazing for building confidence, each of us challenged to try something at new heights, all with support and encouragement from our new Expedition family. We climbed ladders, navigated across zigzag bridges, balanced over tight ropes and flew through the air on zip lines. During orientation, the SOI expedition motto “Flexibility is key” was shared with the group and we were quickly tested when an unexpected thunderstorm blew in just as we were finishing the zip line course. We all headed for shelter and celebrated our collective bravery!
