The CRS shows non-specified Beech turboprops for Ken Borek Aviation, DBA a Canadian North codeshare, between Cambridge Bay and Resolute. My assumption (incorrectly) had been the larger Super King Air 19-passenger pressurized 1900 often seen in southern commuter-airline use, but (looking at the borekair.com site) it looks like it could be either one of the smaller 12-passenger 100/200 series or even the unpressurized 99s. It just didn't occur to me that anything smaller than 19-passengers would be in *scheduled* use, even in Nunavut...

And the Edmonton-Yellowknife-Cambridge Bay route is preferentially on Canadian North... because they codeshare with Ken Borek and hence can quote a through-fare. Besides, FirstAir tries to route everything through Iqualuit now, since they discontinued their western jet service to Resolute within the past year.

Volunteer stuff: Pascal Lee (pclee@earthlink.net) is the project lead, he also coordinates volunteers for camp support. There are probably also opportunities with individual investigators: Dr. Alain Berinstain (Hull Univ. and CSA, studying plant growth in closed systems with a new greenhouse erected last summer on Devon, Alain.Berinstain@space.gc.ca) or if you have any video/media production experience, Sam Burbank (samburbank@earthlink.net).

Other background stuff can be found on http://www.arctic-mars.org ...
