REGINA (SNN) -- Arctic exploration is about to become a cultural experience with a distinct Saskatchewan ingredient.
Nicholas Redman of Invermay, a Grade 9 student at Invermay School, will join 14 other Canadian high school students on an Arctic voyage known as the Cape Farewell Youth Expedition in September. The voyage will last two weeks and will take the students through the Arctic Circle on a Russian icebreaker.
The expedition is organized by the British Council and is an international climate change awareness program that brings together students with top scientists, artists and educators. The hope is that the students will go back to their schools and communities as climate change ambassadors who can distribute information about the effects of climate change on the world.
Invermay is about 290 kilometres east of Saskatoon.
