“To me, the Arctic is an important part of Canada. The strong culture and a way of life that has seen few changes is in danger.”
- PEI
“The Arctic represents to me one of the greatest challenges we have today as a planet. It has been ignored for centuries and has come to the forefront
of the world’s movement to understand everything about science.”-Saint John, NB
“It means a lot to me. It’s my home, I was born and raised in the north. I don’t think I can explain it all. Only in three words: I love it!”
-Iqaluit, NT
“The Arctic is a unique and extraordinary place to be and a place to know about. It’s something that needs to be preserved and cherished for many other people and cultures to experience!”
