  • NUNIES 2009...would love your vote! Link now working....

    Now those of you who are not northern or Nunavut bloggers ( see the link on left side of my blog ) will have NO idea what this is about... but it is something like the Junos or the Oscars but just for fun!

    As northern bloggers  we have created quite a community and different than other areas the degree of separation is probably 2 degrees not 6 degrees, as the population of Nunavut is only 28,000 but spread over avast area of Canadian Arctic...so as a blogger one has also very likely met each other in an Iqaluit airport or B&B in Arctic Bay or walking home from work in the same hamlet.

    My work since 2002 about two stints per year takes me to  one of the communities in Nunavut and I blog about my time there....so where is this leading? This year entered one of my blog entries and would like your vote for BEST BLOG POST 2009 on this link



    http://kiggavik.typepad.com/the_house_other_arctic_mu/2010/01/the-nunies-2009-edition-voting.html


    "
    Its time for the final round of the 2009 Nunies.  Voting is open until 5:00 pm Eastern Time, Thursday the 21st of January  Voting is limited by IP address, meaning that only one vote will be allowed per IP address. "

    There are other categories and if you live in UK, Australia, America or Europe you may learn a little more about our northern arctic Canadian world!

    My blog entry was done this past July when in Kimmirut, a small hamlet of about 400 on the SW corner of Baffin Island...http://bonnieupnorth.xanga.com/707220432/country-food/ and if you have no idea what country food is well....

    Come north and go exploring!

About me...

An Albertan & Canadian, definitely a northern gal. Social worker by profession, this blog has included some of my work over 10 years in Nunavut from 2002 on. Passionate about slowing down & taking time to appreciate the beauty of the outdoors or kindness in relationships as gifts & blessings; injustices against children in situations beyond their control; my faith; Nature, experiencing the outdoors whether cycling, walking. x-c skiing or gardening, my dogs, capturing on film God's beauty, experiencing life intensely & with the senses, richness of late afternoon light, wind in my hair cycling with my dog on a beach road, couching inches from an arctic flower or alpine lichen to capture it with my camera, insight of a student's new learning, a good conversation over a coffee.
