Thanks to all those at the Northwest Territories Department of Health and Social Services who gave such a warm welcome during my recent week in Yellowknife, Fort Providence and Rae/Edzo.

To Sandra B., I look forward to working closely with you and your students as your tobacco awareness programmes expand to include Project Moving Target. I treasure the handmade earrings the students at your school made for me and presented as a thank-you gift.

To the ladies at the Native Women's Adult Education unit, thank you for the beautiful pen. I loved meeting all of you and hope to hear how things are going for you as you continue your studies. If you have difficulty posting here, email me and I'll post your message for you.

To the second year nursing students at Aurora College, thanks for your questions and encouraging feedback - and great sense of humour!

To the students, teachers and principal at St. Pat's - Well today is St. Patrick's Day. Go, Irish! The pen you gave me will be put to good use.

I enjoyed my morning coffee in the mug from Sir John Franklin and it brings fond memories of a busy Friday morning at your school with a film crew recording us all! Thanks to the students for your kind comments.

To Miriam, thank you for working so hard to do the groundwork for a smooth-as-clockwork hectic week (and also timing our drive through permafrost to coincide with a crossing of a small herd of bison!). To Jo and Kathleen, thank you for driving me where I needed to go and getting me there on time. Talking to over 1,000 students in 8 schools, some a 3-hour drive away (now I know what an "ice road" means!), plus two college classes demanded a lot of planning and precision.

I had a wonderful week and I'm grateful to all of you for your kindness, hospitality and professionalism.

Best wishes to the NWT for the advances you have made in protecting your population from tobacco smoke pollution.
