Hi guys,

How’s it going? I’m Lori Tagoona, a young student from Rankin Inlet, NU.

Since finishing high school, I’ve been pretty lucky to have some awesome experiences. I’ve finished my first year of Nunavut Sivuniksavut (currently in my 2nd year). I’ve also volunteered in BC and  Ukraine through Canada World Youth, and even had an internship with the organization in Montreal.

I know living in the south isn’t always easy, especially when your friends and family are so important to you. I’ve actually dropped out of college before because I couldn’t handle the stresses of being in school and away from home. This is why working on this website has been so important to me. If I had known what I know now, I would have stayed in school and finished my program. Thankfully, I am back in school and almost finished the program I dropped out of.

I hope you are able to use this site to your advantage. There are lots of awesome tips and warnings about what life will really be like when you’re in college or university. It can be a scary and intimidating monster, but you’re not alone! There are many of us from the north who are going through the same thing. If we can stick together and help each other out, we can all get through it.

Once you’re done your program you can help make our homes a better place for everyone! We need educated youth to take over the north!
