Coral Harbour, Rankin Inlet and Whale Cove, Nunavut (November 2005)

In November 2005, I had the opportunity to travel to the small communities of Coral Harbour, Rankin Inlet and Whale Cove in Nunavut to give workshops and presentations on mineralogy and geology to primary and highschool students.  This experience was supported by the Nunavut Research Institute (thanks Rick!) and their NSERC Promoscience grant.  Thanks to everyone who helped make my stay in these communities a great experience.
