Amid the chaos and confusion of YellowknifeSA¹ú¼ÊÓ°ÊÓ´«Ã½™s first ever mass evacuation, by road and by plane, for some strange reason my mind kept visiting the tale of the sinking of the Titanic. It was a rather famous ship which sank on April 12, 1912. That was a long, long, time ago.

I dreamed of the people, gathering at the centre of the Sahtu, Great Bear Lake SA¹ú¼ÊÓ°ÊÓ´«Ã½” fires spread all across the territory, making it the only safe place to be.

Planning for the future is difficult for people living with a life-limiting illness. Clinicians, based on their experience, can offer broad estimates of survival SA¹ú¼ÊÓ°ÊÓ´«Ã½” in days to weeks, weeks to months, or months to years. However, patients and their care partners often want greater precision when arranging or making decisions about their care.

Mental health is a pressing concern in the startup community.

We all have a role to play in Reconciliation

Like most of the families that had to evacuate, we hemmed and hawed until the last minute about what we were going to do. We considered driving south, but we had no idea where to go. We thought about buying plane tickets, but the expense was way too much for our family of five. In a moment of sleepless clarity in the middle of the night before we left, my wife and I decided that it was best if we evacuated to Lutsel KSA¹ú¼ÊÓ°ÊÓ´«Ã½™e by boat.

Dear editor,

The legislative assembly resumed sitting on Wednesday afternoon, for the first time since residents of Yellowknife and much of the South Slave regions were allowed to return home.

Written by Jordan Abel, one of the six authors who came to town for YellowknifeSA¹ú¼ÊÓ°ÊÓ´«Ã½™s very own Northwords Writers Festival, Empty Spaces is a fleshy, vulnerable novel that provides a poetic exploration of the natural world and our place in it.

This is being written to bring attention to a matter of concern that impacts a significant portion of the population in the NWT: people living with disabilities. This includes individuals with disabilities and families/caregivers of individuals with disabilities.
