There’s a bit of rain and it’s cloudy today. A Calm Air plane waits at the airport ready to fly from Nunavut to Manitoba. Today we’re travelling to Winnipeg to work with our Youth, Arts and Media Team. We’re really excited to see everyone after many months of school, work and conferences.

The journey begins!
