Canada's North is getting smaller. Not just coastal erosion, but increased infrastructure brings the distant north and northerners much closer.

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.

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.

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.

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.
