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.

Had an absolutely wonderful time being the interviewee for a change, have a listen!
New episode alert! 🚨 Tune in to Arctic Minded's new episode to learn more about the intersection between Arctic science and journalism with @DustinPatar here: arcticnet.ca/podcast/
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.
@DustinPatar, nominated in both the Photo Essay & Photojournalism and Feature Writing categories for “ᕿᒧᒃᓯᖅ (Qimuksiq).”🛷

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…
