Mid-rotation in Sioux Lookout

Sorry for the late update! It's been quite a busy time for us Katimavik volunteers. We have less than a month here in Sioux Lookout and time is flying! Here is a quick update on what has happened within the last two months. We have volunteered at events, visited museums, hung out with new friends from town, spent dinners with our work partners and host families, had our billeting week and our 72 hours off, did clean ups around town, went to a Pow Wow, and much more! We are starting to create our own moccasins at the moment. So, stay tuned for our final product!

Also, we have another blog that you can follow:  www.katimaviksiouxlookout.wordpress.com
Check it out!

We would like to thank everyone who has supported us and making our time here in Katimavik and in Sioux Lookout very memorable!

 The girl third from the left (Migwin) decided to invite us Katimavik volunteers to celebrate her birthday on April 20th. We had a great time playing "Capture the Flag". Happy belated birthday, Migwin.

Also, the girl second from the left (Christine) had celebrated her birthday on April 8. She is a very valuable member in our group! Happy belated birthday, girl!
