There is good news for public awareness of science and technology! The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) wants to engage the scientific community in a new cross-Canada event that celebrates discovery and innovation. With a particular emphasis on Canadian youth, Science Odyssey will be ten days of discovery and innovation. Hundreds of events will take place all across Canada. We proposed to present an activity in Qikiqtarjuaq !

First collaborators stopped in Iqaluit
After a short flight from Toronto, we met up with Joannie and Jose in Ottawa – so nice to see our friends again! Reflecting on the recent blizzard conditions in Iqaluit and laughing about Joannie’s poor luck with flights last year, we briefly discussed the potential of not making it to our destination in one shot. However, given the promising weather and our great luck with flights last year, we were quick to dismiss the possibility.
Artist in Residence: the ice
The title of Artist in Residence in Qikiqtarjuaq was initiated by France Pinczon du Sel and is one of the projects supported by Vagabond. It was in this context that Christian Morel, a French photographer, came to the community for 16 days in March to create an artistic legacy.
