A group of students from Jaanimmarik high school in Kuujjuaq celebrate their arrival in Tasiujaq March 25 after a 140-kilometre, week-long cross-country ski trip. The group of students, aged 13-17, along with teachers and guides, were inspired to make the trek after meeting members of Project Karibu, a group of four cross-country skiers who made a four-month, 2,000 kilometre-long trek from Montreal to Kuujjuaq last year. “We are super proud of them,” said Jaanimmarik teacher and trip organizer Valérie Raymond.
