How far do you have to travel to experience a memorable vacation?
For Amanda Reynolds and her colleagues, it was just two hours – from Aklavik to Inuvik. They spent a teacher’s wellness break at the Arctic Chalet this year, just outside of Inuvik.
With travel restricted by the global pandemic and strict isolation requirements in place, Amanda was looking for a local way to take a break. “We wanted to relax and kinda be away from everything. In the summer time, Inuvik is a flight or a boat ride away; but in the winter, the ice road is open. The Arctic Chalet was a perfect place to escape to nature. It has everything you need in a vacation – and it was only a two-hour drive away.”
