Md Abdus Salam was a teacher and then principal in Arctic Bay, Nunavut, between 2007 and 2019. He is passionate about education, willing to face whatever challenges life throws his way, and enthusiastic about sharing his experiences in the North.
Salam lives with his wife, son, and daughter in Brampton, Ontario. After retiring as a teacher and principal in Arctic Bay, he now works as a principal at an elementary school in Attawapiskat, a remote, fly-in community in northern Ontario, 460 km north of Timmins on the west coast of James Bay. He visits his family four or five times a year-during the Christmas holidays, Moose Break, Goose Break, Road Break, and summer vacation.
"I aim to help many people outside of Nunavut by sharing what I have learned about the land of Inuit."
