  • The Hoarfrost River research site in NWT is as remote as it gets. Eight Laurier students and three high school students from Yellowknife attended a week-long field course at the site in February, with faculty Bill Quinton, Michael English and technician Alex McLean. With no running water, the students helped bring in water from the frozen lake, fished for fresh lake trout for dinner and chopped wood for the fires. Students stayed in large, winter tents with a cast iron stove to keep warm. Some nights went down to minus 50 degrees Celsius; the only bathroom was an outhouse. Link to the story is in our bio.

  • Using a canoe as one of her research tools, Kaitlin Kok, a master’s student in Laurier’s Geography and Environmental Studies program, is conducting research with Ka’a’gee Tu First Nation in Kakisa, a community in the Dehcho Region of the Northwest Territories. “My research uses traditional knowledge to populate a web-based map to record locations of environmental change. This not only allows community members to share their observations for future years, but it also records where the changes may be impacting the local food system. We’re doing research that the community has requested and it’s essential we value their needs for the research above all else.” Full story in link in bio. Photo credit: Kaitlin Kok.
