Alvin’s time in Ottawa with NYA Next

July 19th, 2019

I am from Gjoa Haven Nunavut name is Alvin Oogak. The first week of Northern Youth Abroad Next went really great.


I had missed the camp at the MacSkimming outdoor education centre where we all get together as a group, and then a week later we get to our residence at the Algonquin College. The second few weeks we went to places like the beach, also the Ottawa Mission. We volunteered there to help out the homeless which was a great thing to do for them. And getting to experience Ottawa is fun for me. I think I would come here for school in the next 2 years to get my early childhood educator and I want to help out all students in my region and tell them about this program which is really great to find ourselves in the future.


I want to thank the Northern Youth Abroad for helping me out with this future, this is a life-changing experience. I wouldn’t have found myself today without it, it is really helpful. And I am excited to travel to Montreal very soon cannot wait to check it out and go for the explorer the place with my teammates it’ll be amazing memories.
