Pilote, photographe, guide de plein air, poète : en seulement 34 ans de vie, Natalie Gillis a garni sa feuille de route d’expériences qui l’ont menée de l’Arctique à l’Antarctique. Au Nunavut, plusieurs résidents la décrivent comme une force de la nature.

Canadian North's new baggage fees come into effect today. The airline wouldn't answer questions in an interview, and a spokesperson suggested I look into other airlines too.
So, naturally, I did a full-fledged analysis.

It’s an honour to receive these nominations but it’s honestly an even bigger honour to have been trusted to tell Terry Uyarak’s story, so a big Qujannamiik to him, to my wonderful editor Abi Hayward and to everyone else who made this story possible.

I’d also like to thank @CanGeo for agreeing to and finding a way to publish this story in Inuktitut (a publication first!) so that everyone, whether they live in the south or north, can read. Qujannamiik! canadiangeographic.ca/articl…

What a tremendous honour to be nominated alongside so many super talented journalists. Like so much journalism, I wish this story (especially this climate change category) wasn’t necessary. That said, it was a real privilege to be able to help tell it.

this is so incredibly frustrating— after the federal government denounced Bell Media for laying off workers, then let the funding for their own public journalism program lapse without any explanation
