As we paraded to celebrate the Transglobal car Expedition, junior school kids all came out to the main street and a procession of 10 vehicles including all the RCMP police, ambulance, and the municipal services made its way through town while the Mayor rode in the lead Yemelya. The town parade ended at CHARS - the sleek modern Canadian High Arctic Research Station - where the management and Chief Scientist had arranged for us to make our presentation on the expedition and the science initiatives that we’re supporting. It was very impactful to us to be able to connect with CHARS - a truly world-class Arctic institute - to hear their enthusiasm and support for our initiatives that are to be undertaken during the expedition.
