Polar Bear Blog – Breakup on Hudson Bay
Its fun with charts day! Along with almost everyone else, I have been a bit confused by the numbers being thrown around and stuff about breakup on Hudson Bay. After reading the latest research (Gagnon and Gough (2005), Scott and Marshall (2009), Stirling and Parkinson (2006), I figured I would just look at the Canadian Ice Service charts myself.

Participants will run along the highway from Churchill to the Churchill Northern Studies Centre and most of the way back. I believe the total distance is 46 kilometres. Proceeds will raise funds for the Athletes in Action First Nations sports camps in Polar Hill, Paungassi, and Tadoule … Continue reading
