Up Here's Northerner of the Year is Vuntut Gwichin Chief Dana Tizya-Tramm, who is working to protect the lands of his ancestors, in Old Crow, Yukon, and Alaska. We also feature new Nunavut parks, how to photograph the aurora, and the tale of the NWT Legislative Assembly's missing polar bear hide.

The arts issue celebrates rising stars in a variety of media. There's fibre art and film and television and a quick look at some of our young recording stars. There's public art too, across the Arctic. Join a workshop and learn how to spin qiviut in Iqaluit. In Pangnirtung an Inuit sci-fi feature film takes shape. We also provide a glimpse of the latest in northern souvenirs.

Up Here's 35th anniversary issue. The last 35 years in Canada's North in review. Plus, growing apples in the Yukon, a hot young northern NHL draft choice, and the future of NWT's  consensus government. We explore Inuit legends designed to keep kids safe.

Research - where they go and what they're looking for is featured in this issue of Up Here.  From whale snot to red squirrels, Canada's new Arctic research station, to the familiar smell of KFC, scientific researchers are combing the north for essential clues this summer.  We also cover community research, a tale of a red boat, the sudden appearance of ice age fossils, and Iqaluit's newest hotspot, a brewpub.  

Canada's North is getting smaller. Not just coastal erosion, but increased infrastructure brings the distant north and northerners much closer. But "northerness" lives on - we still care about one another, we are adaptable, inventive and dependable survivors of all manner of delays, accidents and weather. And we continue to harbour the odd mosquito, too. Join us at a land camp for northern kids,  and in the Belcher Islands, reclaiming traditional basketry.

Happy birthday, Nunavut! Up Here celebrates the territory’s milestone 20th anniversary by visiting its vibrant communities and asking what the future holds for the next generation of Nunavummiut. Also in this issue, follow along as trail-runners tackle the 53-kilometre Chilkoot Trail in a single day, the Yellowknives Dene consider the future of their felled sacred tree, and Cullen Crozier recounts a story from his grandfather, the legendary Peter Fraser, in the winning entry of this year’s Sally Manning Award for Indigenous Creative Non-Fiction.


We profile several of the North's smallest communities, look at one Yukon town's battle with the United States government to protect the Porcupine caribou herd and showcase the winners of our annual Up Here photo contest—including our sleepy little cover model. We also listen to Pat Braden and the North's music history, and stop by Churchill, Manitoba as the tourist town celebrates its first passenger train in 18 months. Plus, everything you need to know when nature calls in the tundra.

This issue showcases some of the most breathtaking landscapes of northern Canada designedto inspire your own adventures.  Read our profile of the curling Koe family, and plan a trip with our month-by-month guide to unique events across the North in 2019. Search for the origins of life on the Coppermine River.

The north is changing—from Tuktoyaktuk’s shoreline slowly falling into the ocean, to warming Northern air and its effect on weather patterns across the country. We take a look at the Greenland shark, a species that can live for more than 200 years. We also showcase our 2018 Northerners of the Year, the Yellowknife Women’s Society,  a group of tireless advocates that has spent 30 years listening to women and getting things done.

Nunavut is the only Canadian province or territory without an arts centre. Inuit artists present the pitch for a new centre.  We review the activities of northern stars from dance and traditional Tlingit arts in Yukon, to today's music in NWT and Nunavut, to  film - yes, home-grown feature films - right across the North.  The Inuvik warming centre welcomes  the homeless, and in Nunavut, a new lab is preventing trichinella among Inuit who eat a traditional food.

In our September issue we look at food grown, foraged and hunted across the North and we search for the meaning of a Northern cuisine. We follow a Dawson City filmmaker who spent a year eating local. We have a solution for what to do with all the berries that crop up in Northern backyards. We also talk to the biographer of a legendary RCMP officer, trapper and sailor and to a Northwest Passage guru who guides ships from the comforts of his (southern) basement.

JULY/AUGUST 2018
It's our summer issue, so we head out to cabin country to see what these eclectic and cozy getaways look like in the North. And we also bring you a guide to Northern homes—buildings can look a little different up here and we explain why.

New technology is allowing scientists to take stock of the different animals that use lakes and rivers, requiring only a water sample. This could have major impacts on our understanding of ecosystems and how they're changing, so we take a feature look at this technology, how it's being deployed and how Northerners are involved. We also talk to a few people that have some of the worst summer jobs around, and yet, seem to love them.
