A pretty little spot on my way to work. The days are slowly getting longer ✨️💕

#TIL there's a spot in Scunthorpe where you can see 3 Greggs stores to your left, right and ahead #NorthernLife

Un bon article de Patrick Butler sur certains des enjeux des villes de Labrador City et Wabush devant l'expansion annoncée de l'activité minière (mines de fer).

Plus de mines = plus de travailleurs = plus de logements = plus d'électricité (et ça bloque).

Ce qui se joue entre autres : maintenir et développer les communautés présentes, sans miser seulement sur le fly-in fly-out.

Pourquoi évoquer LabCity et Wabush ici ? J'y ai travaillé en 2021-2022 - non dans l'activité minière, mais à l'Association francophone du Labrador. Une découverte de l'intérieur du Nord canadien, de la réalité de l'activité minière fondamentale pour l'économie du pays, d'une province anglophone, d'une communauté francophone minoritaire... et d'un hiver qui s'étend de fin octobre à mai.

Choc électrique à l’horizon au Labrador

Les projets hydroélectriques du fleuve Churchill pourraient stimuler l'industrie minière, mais aussi aggraver la pénurie de main-d'œuvre et de logements.

Bright moonlight made it tricky to do the dancing #aurora justice tonight, but I managed to catch some of it. Didn’t want to stay outside in -17 for too long tho. 🥶 #auroraborealis #northernlights #northernlife #norrsken
@nuintari But cold weather is objectively better than hot weather...
When it is cold, I can add layers
when it is hot, there are only so many layers I can remove before it becomes illegal

Goodbye to the honey bucket

By Xavier Kataquapit I never quite realized how hard life was when I was growing up in my home community of Attawapiskat on the James Bay coast. At the time in the 1980s, our Elders saw the community as becoming modernized and more comfortable compared to what they had known a few decades before.

Fellow #Finland and other northern country dwellers, do you use daylight lamps? What are your impressions?

Community has been without power since 9am. I’m about to try making a cinnamon swirl loaf on the bbq. #Nunavut #NorthernLife

It was 37° F today and I just caught myself from saying, “It’s warm today.”

Sending off 2022 with heaps of snow. #HappyNewYear #northernlife #winter #2023
