For Up Here Business, I wrote about Forrest Doctor, who is working to rekindle the NWT's skate scene and showcase Indigenous presence in the skateboard industry through Dene Skateboards and Skate North. Check it out at the link below.

An update on the situation in Enterprise, NWT. Still recovering from a 2023 wildfire, the community is again facing political resignations

For @upherepublishing.bsky.social, I had the honour of profiling Dahti Tsetso, who has been on the leading edge of Indigenous stewardship for many years. As she told me, taking care of the land starts by strengthening Dene ways of life.

Holy smokes! An article I wrote for @thenarwhal.ca with @gjohnjournalism.bsky.social and @michellecyca.com won an award! So grateful for this recognition. Thanks to the folks at Real Ice and the wonderful people in Cambridge Bay who shared their stories with me

My first for @theglobeandmail.com: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... I travelled to Enterprise with @patkanephoto.bsky.social to report this feature about the community's painfully slow, complicated recovery from the 2023 wildfire. Thanks to the many people who shared their stories with me.

Ravaged by wildfires, this NWT hamlet is still recovering more than two years later
Enterprise was among the hardest hit during the 2023 wildfire season. Today, a fractured community searches for answers

"We went at it quicker because there was certainty." A lengthy argument between a contractor and the GNWT may ultimately help how highway snowbanks get cleared.

Learned a lot of interesting things while reporting this article for @cabinradio.ca, one of them being that a single fuel tanker ran aground in the Canadian Arctic three separate times between 2010 and 2014. Three. Separate. Times.

In May, we headed to Cambridge Bay, Nvt., to speak with community members and researchers from the company Real Ice. The big idea: to drill holes into Arctic ice and pump seawater to the surface to make the sea ice thicker and potentially combat the effects of global warming.

A mineral rush in Nunavut risks eroding 19 years of consultation on a land use plan that outlines where development should be allowed and where environmental protection needs to be prioritized. As Brandon Laforest told me for this story: “There’s just a major storm brewing.”

An update on the NWT: Our Land for the Future initiative (also known as the NWT PFP), which I wrote for @cabinradio.ca. Federal money is set to start flowing to one of the largest Indigenous-led land conservation initiatives in the world.

A follow-up to the article I wrote about Real Ice, a company testing an approach to thicken sea ice outside Cambridge Bay👇. This one focuses on the residents @gjohnjournalism.bsky.social and I talked to. They had a lot of unexpected, thoughtful things to share about sea ice and climate change.

In May, I went to Cambridge Bay for @thenarwhal.ca with @gjohnjournalism.bsky.social to hear what residents think about a geoengineering experiment happening in their backyard. It was a journalist's dream trip. I'm so pleased to share the article, out today on National Indigenous Peoples' Day.

Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day! I edited today's @thenarwhal.ca story, which comes from the Inuit community of Cambridge Bay. Fascinating science journalism and stunning visuals, but also — in the spirit of the day — a couple pics of some very cute Indigibabies enjoying a celebration. Enjoy!!

For @thenarwhal.ca, I wrote about how few people apply FireSmart guidelines. While research on wildfire mitigation has long focused on how and why things burn, implementation is a social science issue.

"Once housing is built in high-flood or -wildfire hazard areas, the risk is locked in for decades or centuries, as relocating homes and associated infrastructure is both exceedingly costly and politically fraught," according to a new Canadian Climate Institute Report

How is the GNWT changing the way your community is funded? The NWT is changing the math that decides how its communities are funded. Some places will gain from it but others look set to lose money. Here's a guide.
