Another Trip to the Far North

I just returned from another trip to the far north with Quebec Roots. This time, I was with author Carolyn Souaid, and we visited Kiluutaq School in Umiujaq, Quebec... wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy up north on Hudson's Bay.

One of the kids took this photo of me during one of the the photo workshops-- love it!



I didn't have much time to take photos, but here are a few snaps from around the village:
