A few years ago we had the opportunity to host Rick Mercer of CBC’s Rick Mercer Report in Churchill. We had a lot of fun and figured we would share it again!

Rick Mercer Report
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010Inuit Knowledge and Climate Change
Friday, December 11th, 2009FNA’s mission is to share with our guests the wildlife of the north as well as the culture, history and customs of the people of the north. Earlier this year we started working with Dr. Ian Mauro, an environmental and social scientist at the University of Victoria, to help us better understand and communicate with our guests issues affecting the people of Canada’s north. In September Ian joined us in Churchill as a Frontiers North-sponsored PBI Leadership Camp facilitator.
Ian has been teaching and conducting research in Nunavut for nearly a decade. In 2010, he and Zacharias Kunuk, acclaimed Inuk filmmaker, will be releasing the ‘Inuit Knowledge and Climate Change’ feature film. A portion of this film, entitled Ukiutatuq Takuguk! (or Look! The Arctic!) is being presented later this week in Copenhagen at the United Nations Climate Change Conference.
On December 9th, Zac and Ian were featured on the CBC’s The National evening news program discussing the film and why, while the film is being presented in Copenhagen, they are in Igloolik, Nunavut.
Here is the National’s news story:
And here is the film being presented in Copenhagen later this week:
