There were smiles all around as Students on Ice announced its 2019 Arctic Expedition and new partnership with the Delegation of the European Union to Canada on Tuesday, June 12. Students on Ice’s Lynda Brown, front left, and Becky Okatsiak, front right, stand with (from left) Finnish ambassador Vesa Lehtonen, Speaker of the House Geoff Regan, Students on Ice President and Expedition Leader Geoff Green, European Union ambassador Peteris Ustubs and Swedish ambassador Urban Ahlin to commemorate at the Ottawa reception at Parliament Hill. This is the first year participating students, who range from high school to university, will come from every circumpolar country, which Students on Ice partly thanks to its new partnership. Participants this year will also come from every Canadian province and territory and, of the 130 students going, 66 are Indigenous. The expedition—which will travel through the Canadian High Arctic and Greenland, and focus on topics like climate change and healthy communities—begins July 23 and ends August 7. “We are thrilled to give young participants the opportunity to understand firsthand the challenges the Arctic is facing today,” said Ustubs.
