I’m a pre-service teacher and just now I was thinking about how my teachers in southern Ontario always pronounced “Newfoundland” incorrectly (people often say new-FOUND-land but it’s NEW-fin-land). As a kid I only knew that because I was from Atlantic Canada. Then I realied they might not have known how to pronounce Nunavut either, which became a territory when I was in grade 4. So I had to look it up, and it turns out they got the first part right and the last part wrong. Now I’ll be able to say it correctly when I’m in their shoes! ��Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423648754092108986.post-92130537351410261452018-01-13T21:26:27.161-06:002018-01-13T21:26:27.161-06:00The pizzas are great!

They ship the cleaners in concentrated form to reduce on shipping costs and offer a great selection of child safe, and environmentally friendly cleaning solutions. I also purchase my vitamins, personal hygiene items, and makeup through this company. Memberships are often at $1 and you get $120 worth in free products when you start. I have called to complain about two products in the past and was completely reimbursed for both of them. Once a product I had ordered did not ship and they provided me an alternate product in the mean time, a credit for the product value and shipped the original desired product when available for free. I suffer from sensitive skin and their products work well for me and my children. They also have some food and drink items and have a gluten free selection as well. Let me know if you need more info and sorry if I went on and on for to long!!<br />Wendy Wolfe<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423648754092108986.post-44841645039426799662016-01-11T12:42:19.177-06:002016-01-11T12:42:19.177-06:00Thank you for your comment!

I would advise against bringing a Hummer - 1) the shipping cost is atrocious unless you put it on the barge, and you can only do that in summer and 2) I wouldn't say it's the most practical of vehicles. Most people drive ATVs and snowmobiles, or get a vehicle that is already in town. (Are you coming for a government role? They have vehicles that can be used for staff)<br /><br />I did stock up on supplies, yes - you can look up our posts tagged "supplies" to see what I recommend for sure, and see how much we brought with us. The stores also have decent supplies of that stuff, and you can always buy online and have it shipped up. No, there is nowhere in Baker to get your nails done (trust me, I looked.)<br /><br />If you have anymore questions, feel free to email me at nunavutchillers at gmail dot com and I will be happy to answer!<br /><br />LilyLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10982357771442100963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423648754092108986.post-29391183982787550902015-10-28T17:19:23.116-05:002015-10-28T17:19:23.116-05:00Hi there, I'm currently entertaining an offer ...Hi there, I'm currently entertaining an offer in Baker Lake and will be travelling from Nova Scotia.
