It is KICK-OFF time! Welcome to the first week of this year's exciting program - six weeks traveling the wilds of Northern Ontario! It is time to hitch the teams of powerful Polar Huskies to the sleds and head out. We hope you are as thrilled as we are? Team NOMADS has worked very hard to get ready.

Could you carry your house, food, cooking utensils, clothing and everything else that you might need to live and survive? Well, NOMADS explorers and the Polar Huskies do, and for weeks at a time, too! This week we are looking at the planning and preparation that goes into completing a successful expedition while choosing team members and getting good at setting goals. 

One of the most exciting parts of exploring and setting out on an adventure, is that we know we are to meet lots of great new friends and get a rare insight into a different culture. But, this week we will also take a look at how "exploration" can affect the culture being visited.

Alright Already! Let's start exploring...
