I have been in Cape Dorset for two weeks now, and during this time I have experienced the thrills of starting afresh in a new community, but also the lows of watching the only high school in town burn down.

My view as I walk to work each morning in Cape Dorset.

Everyone is so friendly, and I am enjoying the beautiful arctic char fish and fresh air. Temperatures are getting cooler each morning. Today is was 2 degrees C when I walked to the college this morning. There are some vehicles in town-4 wheel drive trucks for work use, mostly - but many people get around by ATV, or on foot. Everything is walkable.

Last weekend, the high school burned down, and it has been devastating to the community. It was a beautiful school recently renovated. I was at the graduation ceremony the night before the fire and was so impressed with the speeches, decorations and celebratory feeling of the event. It will be a challenge to replace given the difficulty in getting building supplies here.
