Kugluktuk students have fun times in Central Canada

Fourteen Kugluktuk High School students packed their bags and flew to Chelsea, Que., February 28 to March 7. The students went indoor rock-climbing and bowling, visited a maple syrup farm, toured Parliament Hill, went downhill skiing, visited the National Museum of History and went on a scavenger hunt in downtown Ottawa.

Students from Chelsea, Que., will come to Kugluktuk on April 16 to partake in the Nattiq Frolics spring festival to conclude the exchange trip.

Scared of heights? It doesn't intimidate Cassidy Atatahak, who she strides from one pole to another in an indoor climbing gym.
