Sea ice is critical infrastructure in the Far North where roads are scarce & residents travel over the frozen ocean by snowmobile. Climate change is occurring 3x faster here than in the south—and that’s impacting the ice and those who depend on it #unsettledstory
@JenniferYVerma and I are in the research phase of our
@CanadaCouncil
film project. Is your community working upstream to retrofit, rebuild and adapt to the immediate or emergent effects of climate change? If so, then reach out. Details here—

We popped over to Alderney Landing library for our 7th asymptomatic rapid test today. Easy peasy. Thanks to all the volunteers hanging out in the rain to support the effort today!
We NEED you NOW Nova Scotia!
1. If you have symptoms, don’t wait, not even a day! Get tested at a Nova Scotia Health authority testing site (NOT a pop up site!!). You are NOT putting a strain on the system. You are doing the right thing.
