\n*****************************
\nStudents from St. Mary’s College’s Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) program recently took part in a unique cultural exchange that connected northern Ontario and Nunavut through learning, adventure, and friendship.<\/p>\n
From April 19\u201324, 20 SHSM students and four teacher\/principal chaperones travelled to Pond Inlet, Nunavut. During their visit, students experienced Inuit culture firsthand through a guided tour of the Nattinnak Visitor Centre, a trip to the Bylot Island Migratory Bird Sanctuary by qamutiik, a cultural fair, and activities at the local high school.<\/p>\n
On their journey north, the group also visited the Notre Dame Basilica in Ottawa for Sunday Mass.<\/p>\n
The exchange continued when 10 students and three chaperones from Pond Inlet travelled to Sault Ste. Marie from May 15\u201320.<\/p>\n
Visitors were amazed by the region’s forests and natural landscapes. Their itinerary included visits to the St. Kateri Outdoor Learning Centre, St. Mary’s College, the Art Gallery of Algoma, a city double-decker tour, Campbell Amusements, Galaxy Cinemas, and hikes through Hiawatha Highlands and Crystal Falls.<\/p>\n
This marks the third major travel experience for SHSM students in recent years, following trips to Ottawa and the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia through a YMCA exchange program.<\/p>\n
The exchange provided students with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of Canada’s diverse cultures, build lasting friendships, and create memories that will stay with them for years to come.<\/p>\n
