Hi I’m Kennie, Kennie of the Yukon. I have been a resident of the land above the 60 line for four years now…. heading into year 5 and have enjoyed every minute of it … well.. 95% of the minutes.
In 2007 I packed my bags, stored all of my possessions and headed off to Arctic Bay, Nunavut, a small isolated Inuit community on the Northern tip of Baffin Island. In August 2009 I moved across Canada to the small rural community of Ross River, Yukon where I currently teach grade 5/6.
Hi Kennie! You have the most exquisite photos. I ‘m in Alaksa researching bushman stories, email if you like!
Hi Robert,
Thanks! Not too sure where alongbthe line the photo taking gene comes from, but I’m glad I’m able to channel it … plus, digital cameras are nice too (take many photos until younger the right one
)
Hi Kennie,
I just noticed the reference to the HJBF in Fredericton. My wife and I lived there for 17 years before moving to Teslin, Yukon (3 yrs for me, 4 for my wife). Are you from Fredericton? My wife teaches in Teslin. I work for the the First Nationj.
Hi Gord,
Born and raised in NB and have called Freddy home now for 15 years (lived there from 96-07, but my parents are still there, so it’s still home for me). Out of all of those years I’ve never gotten my ducks aligned to go to HJBF… Someday I will make it there. What is your wife teaching? I’m back to my regular assignment of grade 5/6 here in Ross River.
Sh teaches grades 1,2,3.
