Across Inuit Nunangat, climate change and housing intersect in critical ways. Permafrost thaw, rising sea levels, and coastal erosion exacerbate pre-existing housing inadequacies and shortages. As a result of these intersecting crises, predominately Indigenous communities face significant challenges that stem from the legacies of colonialism embedded in housing policy and the disproportionate impacts of climate change. Through visual storytelling, @jenineotto_storytelling, Trebek Grantee, will amplify community-identified housing needs within Inuit Nunangat, with a focus on Nunatsiavut. Her work will highlight recommendations for future policy development and more broadly, her research will contribute to our understanding of how storytelling can be used to bridge communication gaps between governments and communities to ultimately address urgent climate change priorities.

You’ve heard of John Franklin, the celebrated British explorer, but do you know Tookoolito? Born in 1838, Tookoolito was a female Inuit explorer who significantly contributed to non-Inuit’s knowledge of the North, and has been named by The Government of Canada as a National Historic Person. With support from the Trebek Initiative, Okalik Eegeesiak, former chair of the Inuit Circumpolar Council; Noémie Planat, polar scientist; and artist @jessicahoustonart will sail John Franklin’s famous route, recording stories of women whose contributions to polar exploration remain obscured in dominant colonial narratives, including those of countless Inuit women who were crucial to the survival of explorers. This journey involves looking at how representation plays a crucial role in our perception of the Arctic. It will also serve as a platform to listen to and tell stories of generations of women — living and historical — who made life-saving clothing for male explorers, were adventurers in their own right, spent their lives learning from the ocean, and charted Arctic paths before the first Europeans ever set sail for the far north.

Canadian Geographic’s 2022 Canadian Photos of the Year Competition winner is...@alftown!🎉 Between a Canada lynx staring intently, a red fox creeping down a rocky slope, a long exposure of waves crashing against the red rocks of the Prince Edward Island coast and more, the winning images are a testament to that perfect combination of timing, skill and luck that produces an unforgettable photo. Canadian Geographic is pleased to award Alan Poelman of Atikokan, Ont. the grand prize of $5,000 and the prestigious title of Canadian Photographer of the Year.

Did you know the Saguenay Fjord in Quebec is globally unique being one of the only to flow into a river rather than the open ocean? Expeditions in this area routinely discover species unknown to science. Its underwater cliffs exceeding 900 ft in depth hold productive waters brimming with invertebrates such as corals, anemones and starfish, as well an array of fishes, sharks, and marine mammals, all protected by the ‘Saguenay St. Lawrence Marine Park’. Follow along to watch as Trebek Grantee @reagleso, peels back the dark cloak of this deep-sea fjord system by conducting an unparalleled continuous video survey of the entire fjord floor more than 80km in length, as well as a number of drop camera surveys along the sea floor and the fjord walls. The goal of this project is to deliver critical data informing marine park management, producing beautiful imagery of this relatively unknown area and as an added bonus it will provide STEM mentorship opportunities for local youth.
