Five Youth in Nunatsiavut have been selected to take part in the exciting journey of the 2018 Students on Ice Expedition.
Two youth have been selected in Nain, one in Hopedale, one in Makkovik, and one in Rigolet.
The date for the five youth to depart their home towns is still tentative.
But it should be around July 20, 2018 when they will travel to Ottawa to attend a pre-program at Nunavut Sivuniksavut, starting July 21.
Then the expedition will start on July 23, 2018.
The youth were selected in late April 2018, and informed that they were selected in early May 2018.
OK Radio was unable to retrieve the names of the successful youth selected at this time.
We will have more information about the expedition when it becomes available.
