continued from p.9 passion. I look forward to soaking up the experiences and ringing them out in future artistic endeavours, as well as continued activism work at McGill this coming September. I am a recent graduate of White Oaks Secondary School (WOSS) and have my amazing International Baccalaureate (IB) art teacher Matthew Coleman to thank for making up one of two references for my Students on Ice application.

Student to track journey via blog Their support was part of the process that involved me winning a scholarship spot on the trip, not to mention their guidance and support that helped me realize the limitless possibilities both in art and activism. I will be writing an article during and after the expedition for the Oakville Beaver as well as other media appearances. I would encourage anyone interested to follow the journey via my own, or other students' blogs at http://studentsonice.com/arctic2013.
