The 14-day trip began in Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut, on the east coast of Baffin Island and ended in Pangnirtung, Nunavut, a hamlet in Cumberland Sound on the other side of Baffin. The team hauled their gear and food 100 kilometres over Akshayuk Pass, with temperatures ranging from -30 to -5 C. The team crossed the Arctic Circle at 66 degrees north. The scenery was awe-inspiring as they trekked past Mounts Thor and Asgard, which towered 3,000 feet.

has hemmed her last pair of grey slacks and sewn her last button on a First Dress blazer. The savvy seamstress with the cordial demeanour and quiet presence retired on Feb. 11 after nearly 15 years heading up the Sewing Centre. She came to SAC after working with dresses and blouses. Antonietta says she quickly learned her talents would be called on to alter such items as kilts and sashes, pitch in to create costumes for theatrical productions, and sew patches on athletic uniforms. When you look at an auditorium full of St. Andrew’s students and notice how well put together they are, much credit goes to the tailors who work out of an airy, well-lit room in the basement of Macdonald House. Antonietta said it was a bit of a culture shock when she first arrived on campus to learn about the care and maintenance put into the Cadet uniforms. “When I first saw it, I thought, ‘Are you kidding me?’” she said with a chuckle, recalling her reaction to the news that she was now responsible for making spats for the entire Corps. Now, that care and detail is a matter of pride for Antonietta: “It’s so beautiful,” she says, running her hand over a swath of Gordon tartan. “I fell in love with the uniform.” “Antonietta truly cares for the SAC community and has been a valued and reliable staff member,” says Head of School, Kevin McHenry. “She is a friendly face and always went above and beyond to ensure the boys always look their best.” While Antonietta says she will miss the students and staff, she is looking forward to spending time with her five grandchildren and relaxing with her husband, Nunzio, who retired from SAC in 2018 after working in the Janitorial Department for 22 years. Eventually, she plans to travel to Cuba and her native Italy. “Antonietta is one of the loveliest employees I’ve had the pleasure of working with,” said Klaus Griese, Director of Properties & Facilities, as he handed her a farewell gift during a reception held in her honour.
