Hello, this is Mickey Iqaqrialu from Arctic Bay, Nunavut. On June 26th there were 4 of us that arrived in Ottawa, and then settled in at MEC (MacSkimming Education Centre). That night we went to watch a movie at the Cineplex. Chelsea, Jeff, Jamesie and I watched Jurassic World – I was so scared, I kept closing my eyes. Anyways, a day later everyone arrived in Ottawa on Saturday afternoon.
Couple days later we went to Rideau Hall and we met the Governor General of Canada, afterwards we met his dog Rosie, she was 14 months old. On June 30th we went to a baseball game on my birthday. I would like to say thank you to the Northern Youth Abroad staff for taking us to the baseball game! July 1st all of the International program participants went to the Canada Day celebration in downtown Ottawa. There was a lot of people downtown and it was raining so heavily in the afternoon that we had to go into the mall.
After the MEC we moved to Algonquin College. We took part in a work shop at Algonquin where we made frames. After that we learnt how to build dog houses. We then graduated from our program at Algonquin.
