A group of 15 students from Nunavut arrived in Collingwood this week on what is expected to be the trip of a lifetime.

The students are from Nasivvik High School in Pond Inlet and are participating in a cultural exchange with Collingwood Collegiate Institute.

“This is a huge trip,” said Nasivvik teacher Brady Fischer. “Many of the kids have not been to Ontario or outside Nunavut. This is a once a lifetime (experience) for them.”

The students arrived in Collingwood on Sunday, April 8 and will be staying for seven days and participating in a variety of activities including visiting a local farm, attending a Barrie Colts game and going skiing.
