In 1912 Tremblay was working as a prospector, when he joined an expedition led by J.E. Bernier to Pond Inlet, seeking gold.[3] In 1913 his guides lead him south, to Igloolik. Tremblay published an account of this expedition in 1921. Tremblay would eventually walk a circuit of Baffin Island, a distance of more than 6,400 kilometres (4,000 mi).[1]
