CIDC Cup
This weekend was the CIDC (Chesterfield Inlet Development Corp.) Cup, a hockey tournament just for fun.
Valentine’s Day Breakfast
Before anyone says anything, I know I’m late in posting this. On the 12th of February, the school organized a Valentine’s Day breakfast for the whole hamlet. We were recruited by the school to help out. The cooking started at 7:00 AM. That meant that I had to get up at 6:00 AM. It was the earliest wake up in a long time! We showed up at the school and mixed pancake batter and cooked bacon until 9:30. It was lots of fun and it seemed to have been a success There were very little leftovers. 14 boxes of Aunt Jemima is a lot of pancakes…
It’s been a long time coming!
Well, well, well… Look who decided to show itself properly: good old aurora borealis.
So many comments!
So it was a secret but there was a contest for who would be the person to write the 200th comment on our blog. This milestone was reached this Halloween night by Darlie. Congratulations Darlie!! Your prize will go out in the mail as soon as you email us at contests(at)thearcticpost.ca with your mailing address.
For everyone else’s knowledge, there will be another prize for the 300th comment and maybe for other occasions too
99 bottles on the wall… (or something to the effect of)
So the other day, while I was at work, Carly decided that it was time to do a bit of cleanup. Time for the bottles to meet their creator!!! (or end up at the bottle depot). By living in Alberta, I have learned that the process of getting your deposit money back for the bottles is not that easy. You have to sort them all and count them before you go to the bottle depot. It’s rarely open. Well, never opened when you want to go anyways. Here’s what the pile looked like. Carly must have thought it was photo worthy because she took a snap of it!
