"This is the first time I see that much snow on July 1st!", we heard repeatedly. We were a few dozen yesterday in Grise Fiord to celebrate Canada Day. Flag raising and singing O Canada, sculpin fishing derby under the ice, miniature sail boat race on the pond in the middle of the village, bikes and cakes decorating contest, tea and bannock making contest, games, raffles, great picnic... snowfall did not deter Grise Fiord people to participate in this happy day!
