On Novemebr 29th I left for Trenton, Ontario to start rehearsing for The Northern Show Tour that National Defense brings to the Canadian Forces Station in Alert every year.

A few interesting facts about Alert, Nunavut:

• It is the northernmost permanently inhabited place in the world.
  
• It is only 817 km from the North Pole.
  
• Magnetic North is actually south of Alert.
• Alert is classified as a desert.
• During the winter months it is 24 hour darkness and through the summer months it is 24 hour sunlight.

Our crew consisted of:

• Atlantic Crossing: Band from Vancouver, BC.
• Isabelle Quintin: Singer/Performer/Actress, from Ottawa ON.
• Shelley Kenney and Kristy Coleridge: Dancers from Toront, ON.
• Doug Funk: Comedian from Cambridge, ON.
• Dave Arther: Show Director, musician from Ottawa, ON.
• JP : Our National Defense escort officer., from Ottawa ON.
  
• Dave Co: Our amazing soundman from Calgary, AB.
• Chris Newkirk: Lighting designer from Toronto, ON.

I've put together some photos and videos of the rehearsals, the Hercules ride, the shows and some other fun stuff!
