Learning Research Service Volunteer Engagement

The Chinook Project was created by Jane Magrath, Associate Professor of English, and Lisa Miller, Professor of Pathology and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs at AVC, with a mandate to provide essential veterinary care to isolated communities in the Canadian Arctic. Each summer, the project responds to a request for service by taking four veterinary students in their final year of study and two AVC clinicians, along with essential equipment, to a community in Nunavut. The project visited Kimmirut (Southern Baffin) in 2006 and 2008, Cambridge Bay (Western Arctic) in 2007, and Kugluktuk (Western Arctic) in 2009.
