Podcasts about Inuvik

James Stempien (MD) has navigated some of the most challenging corners of emergency medicine, from the frigid isolation of Inuvik to the bustling corridors of Saskatoon's emergency departments.  His experience in low-tech outposts has shaped his approach to modern emergency care.   “When things aren't going well you see it in the emergency department first,” Stempien said. “We're the front door. We're always open.”   As provincial department head of emergency medicine, Stempien still sees patients on their worst days, in hospitals that are frequently bursting at the seams, as Saskatchewan's population grows.   “I worked in emergency last night and we were really busy, hours behind. All the ER docs there and nurses were running our tails off,” said Stempien. ““We're seeing an increase in acuity.”   Stempien said the patients he sees now come in with serious medical concerns, which cannot be written off as minor ailments.   One in five emergency patients in Saskatoon requires hospitalization, and amid frequent congestion, Stempien says some find themselves on stretchers in the hallway, or even in former linen closets, waiting to move upstairs to an acute care bed.   He said although a plan to open 109 more acute care beds at Saskatoon City Hospital ‘will make a big difference', but he and his staff say the current overcrowding jeopardizes patients in the waiting room, leading to moral injury and burnout.    “When things aren't going well, you see it in the emergency department, those sort of negative Issues, negative problems,” Stempien said.   Stempien is determined to free up space inside his department. He also leads projects aimed at streamlining emergency medicine, including a new effort to send patients their discharge instructions via text message.   “It's a good initiative for the patient to actually have the instructions on their phone, they can access it as many times as they want. They're not going to lose the piece of paper on the way to the parking lot,” said Stempien.   Stempien, 67, said he still loves the job, in part thanks to the team atmosphere, and also because his patients are still full of surprises.   “Many things I've seen thousands of times, but every now and then you run across something and you think, wow, I've never seen that before,” he said.   “That's what makes emergency medicine interesting and fun."

We're celebrating four Indspire Award recipients who create, educate, and inspire The Indspire Awards represent the highest honour the Indigenous community bestows upon its own people. Every year, a dozen First Nation, Metis and Inuit people are chosen for their outstanding achievements across Turtle Island and beyond. Nations Skate Youth is where Joe Buffalo and his team teach kids to skate, as a way to empower, inspire and instill pride. Joe is a legend in the skate community. Not just for his gravity defying feats on a board but also because of his incredible story of survival and resilience. He survived one of Canada's last residential schools, confronted substance abuse in his life, and after picking up his first skateboard turned pro and became a legend. This year the Samson Cree man was recognized with a Sports Indspire Award. One of this year's Youth Recipients is Willow Allen. She is a fashion model, a cultural content creator with over a million followers and a soon to be social worker. After being discovered on Instagram, the Inuvialuit beauty has walked runways from Singapore to New York for big name brands like Clinique, Louboutin Beauty, and Canada Goose. But because home is where her heart is, Willow, who is from Inuvik, Northwest Territories also teaches people online about life in the north – just as her dad taught her on the land. Building cabins with her grandfather inspired Reanna Merasty to build a career as an architect focused on holistic homes. Now, Reanna is an architectural intern. She also co-founded the Indigenous Design and Planning Students Association at the University of Manitoba. Reanna is a recipient of a Youth Indspire Award for her advocacy and dedication to changing the field of architecture. Lori Campbell is a 60s Scoop adoptee: one of about 20-thousand Indigenous children who were removed by the government and adopted into mostly non-Indigenous families. She was lost - disconnected from her culture until she enrolled at the University of Regina. There she found a community of “aunties and uncles” that guided her on a journey of self-discovery. Now, as the Associate Vice President of Indigenous Engagement of the same university, she is on a mission to make universities a resource for other Indigenous people who want to find their way home.

Jaridani leo ripoti ya utalii wa milima na jamii ya watu wa asili wa Inuit.  Makala tunakuletea tunasalia hapa Makao Makuu na mashinani tunakupeleka Kisiwa cha Jamhuri ya Kiribati, kulikoni?Ripoti mpya iliyotolewa leo na mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa na wadau imeeleza bayana jinsi utalii kwenye maeneo ya milimani unaweza kuwa na manufaa sio tu kwa baiyonuwai bali pia kwa jamii zinazoishi kwenye maeneo hayo.Jamii ya Inuit ya watu wa asili wa Eskimo ni miongoni mwa jamii za walio wachache sana kutoka jimbo la Inuvik nchini Canada.Katika Makala Flora Nducha anazungumza na Kijana Mtanzania Gibson Kawago aliyeko hapa katika makao makuu ya Umoja wa Mataifa akihudhuria Jukwaa la Vijana la Baraza la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kiuchumi na Kijamii (ECOSOC) la mwaka 2023.Na mashinani mashinani na tutaelekea katika Kisiwa cha Jamhuri ya Kiribati kilichoko Oceania katika Bahari ya Pasifiki ya Kati kusikia ujumbe kuhusu umuhimu wa chanjo.Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kayanda, karibu!

Jamii ya Inuit ya watu wa asili wa Eskimo ni miongoni mwa jamii za walio wachache sana kutoka jimbo la Inuvik nchini Canada. Jamii hiyo ambayo ina jumla ya watu 180,000 kwa asili ni ya wawindaji, wavuvi na wafugaji wa kuhamahama, lakini sasa kutokana na changamoto za mabadiliko ya tabianchi wamelazimika kubadili mfumo wa maisha na kuishi mahali pamoja katika vijiji, hata hivyo mabadiliko hayo yamewaletea changamoto kubwa kama anavyosema Herbert Angiki Nakimayak, Makamu wa rais wa Baraza la jamii ya Inuit nchini humo anayehudhuria jukwaa la 22 la watu wa asili la Umoja wa Mataifa hapa Marekani alipozungumza na Idhaa hii ya Kiswahili..“Nyumba siku zote imekuw ni changamoto kubwa tunayokabiliana nayo katika maeneo ya vijijini na tunafanyakazi kwa karibu na uongozi ili kuhakikisha kwamba tuna nyumba zinazojitosheleza ili familia zetu ziewe kukuwa pamoja na kuwa zenye afya. Pia sidhani kama nchi au serikali zimejikwamua vyema kutoka kwenye janga la COVID-19, hivyo kuna huduma ambazo hazipatikani kwa watu wa jamii ya asili ya Inuit. Na baharini tuna msongamano wa meli ndogo na kubwa , pia linapokuja suala la umwagaji wa mafuta  hatuna uwezo wa kukabiliana nalo hali itakayoathiri uhamaji wa viumbe kama nyangumi na samaki , Ndege na bata maji ambao wanahama ambao tunawtegemea.”Nakimayak ameongeza kuwa changamoto hizo anaamini suluhu itapatikana endapo jamii husika za asili zitajumuishwa na huo ndio ujumbe aliouleta kwenye jukwaa hili la watu wa asili, “Serikali , nchi na mataifa wanaandaa será na sheria kwa ajili ya watu wa asili, lakini sasa wakati umefika kwa nchi hizo kufanyakazi na watu wa asili ili kuunda sheria na taratibu na watu wa asili kwa ajili ya watu wa jamii zetu hasa wa vijijini ambao hawawakilishwi vya kutosha.”Na kwa jumuiya ya kimataifa ana wito,“Tungependa nchi na wanasayansi kuelewa kwamba sisi ni sehemu ya mfumo wa maisha na chochocte kitakachotokea katika mfumo wa maisha baharini au nchi kavu kitatuathiri pia, kitaathiri afya zetu na uwezo wetu wa kuendelea na mfumo wetu wa maisha wa kitamaduni na tunataka kulinda hilo kwa kadri tuwezavyo. Tunataka kuhakikisha kwamba tunalinda utamaduni wetu kwa ajili ya leo, kesho na wakati ambao watunga será na sheria watakapokuja kuweka sheria, será na kanuni ili wanafanye hivyo pamoja nasi na kwa ajili yetu hivyo ujumuishwaji ni ufunguo.”

Decades ago Phil Fontaine helped open Canada's eyes to the horrors of the residential school system. And he's since spent years pushing for an apology from the top of the Catholic Church. Today he reflects on hearing Pope Francis say "sorry" for the second time. "My big issue right now is, what to do about this issue of moving beyond the apology," said Fontaine, who is a residential school survivor and served three terms as national chief of the Assembly of First Nations. Access to church records, how to handle unmarked graves and the return of Indigenous land are key issues for Fontaine. Also in this episode, Mabel Brown, a survivor who traveled from Inuvik, N.W.T., to see the Pope speak, shares what the apology means to her.

Moved Iklavic, a mixed community of western Arctic and Dene people from a village site, that had flood potential every year. 1958 Inuvik was born with prominently indigenous and mixed population currently at 3300 but gets up to 5000 with transient workers. Even growing Muslim and Philippines populations. I learned about midnight sun and the sunrise festival around January 6, when the days start to get longers after the winter dark. We talk machine sports, cabins, ice road, boat acess and the pride felt in squirreling away 12 pounds of wild blueberry during their high season. From subsistence hunting of caribou, moose and beluga whale (for blubber called Muktuk) to cranberries and Acpics also know as cloudberries. About the big community greenhouse that was once a curling rink that had a clear roof replacement. Creating recreational gardening opportunities, a veggie box or weekly CSA (community supported agriculture) and even interest in hydroponic seacan growing. Also grocery stores, bag or box and setting up meetings to talk reusable packaging. with managers and youth. At the end of the dempster highway, its accessible during two seasons by road, yet given its a 16 hour drive people generally make only twice a year to to stock up. I learned about NTPC (Northwest territory power corporation) how energy is the biggest expense per household ( 600-700$ a month for power plus 900-1500 for gas not to mention internet and cable)and how the input is a limited supply of liquid natural gas and propane with diesel back ups. It's not on a big electricity grid but everything is produced right here and delivered via the Utildor, an award winning utility corridor. We shared stories about spoadic outages and setting up multiple backup systems. Funding partnerships have invested in batteries, panels for 35 households and 5 solar array on various businesses. There has even been some small scale economic development with the adoption of pellet boilers creating an opportunity for someone locally to get a grain truck to deliver pellets to peoples homes. After ten years of bureaucratic red tape they are able to get a wind project of a single turbine. We talked landfill scavenging, wildlife conflict, back hauling and even about my favorite divert cardboard pliot project to create eneegy from waste. I learned about ARI ( Aurora research institute) education projects, ground satellite stations, which recieve data from polar orbit. The industry lead advocacy to pursue the Mackenzie valley fibre line makes disseminating data downloaded from space able to easily be transfered to below the 60 parallel. Inuvik is a great example of place making, being plucky and perfectly situated on the planet for isolated immersion where we live, work, play and eat together.

Calls to reconsider the fireworks and celebrations of Canada Day have intensified as we approach the national holiday, in light of the announcements from B.C. and Saskatchewan First Nations that they'd located hundreds of unmarked graves where residential schools once stood.Crystal Fraser is assistant professor of history at the University of Alberta, and is Gwichyà Gwich'in, originally from Inuvik and Dachan Choo Gę̀hnjik in the Northwest Territories. She'll tell us how she sees Canada, as a historian and an Indigenous person, and how we can reflect on the history of Canada.

Ollie hosted a northern leaders conference in Inuvik this past week, that was subjected to something that truly unites us all here in the north... *all together now* - internet connection issues!

Paul is living proof that behind every healthcare leader is a nurse – in his case his mother and his wife. Their compassionate dedication to their craft has helped Paul develop a caring and thoughtful approach to leadership that’s helped him in posts he’s held in Calgary, Inuvik, Georgian Bay, and for the past 8 years in North Bay.  Paul is a true lifelong learner. He has the equivalent of more than 14 years of post-secondary education that includes two Masters Degrees, a Chartered Accountant designation, and he’s a certified health executive. We first spoke with Paul early in 2020 just before the pandemic hit, and we were lucky to catch up with him again this past March. He reflected on how the north has traditionally been humble about its innovations, talents, and capabilities. But with the pandemic, he says there’s been a paradigm shift and people have started to appreciate the talents and resourcefulness of the north in a new way. At one point in the pandemic, when the numbers of COVID positive critical care patients in southern Ontario was rising to dangerous levels, North Bay was officially added as a load sharing site. When we talked to Paul, they had not received any critical care patients, but since then, several have arrived and they expect to receive more until we’re through this current crisis period. Quotables: “I always reflect that I’ve been fortunate to have the insight and wise counsel of my wife and my mother. It’s helped me become a really considerate person who is thoughtful about the impact that the decisions I make have on our patients and staff.” “All of our leaders at every level of management and even beyond, are trained in continuous quality improvement tools, creative problem-solving tools, and other leadership skills. That goes for not only our administrative leadership, but for our physician leadership group as well.” “We’ve been working our team in overdrive going back even before the pandemic and I’m just so proud of how our teams responded.” “It’s incredibly important that you don’t ask your staff to do something that you wouldn’t be willing to do yourself or follow some protocol that you wouldn’t use yourself.” “I started scheduling in meetings while I was on the trail and realized I could actually conduct business and get exercise. I discovered a fun thing – it’s hard to get stressed no matter what the conversation is when you’re in the middle of the forest.” “Your team needs you to be well in order to make the right decisions.” “There is so much capacity and leadership in the north. Our challenge is the connectivity and the large geography. I think the virtual care options, virtual communication we developed is going to build a stronger voice for the north.”   Mentioned in this Episode: North Bay Regional Health Centre ONE Initiative (Meditech Expanse) West Parry Sound Health Centre Sault Area Hospital Duchesnay Falls   Access More Interviews with Healthcare Leaders at HIROC.com/podcast Follow us on Twitter, and listen on iTunes.

On this episode National Chief Perry Bellegarde reaches Gwich'in Grand Chief Bobbie Joe Greenland-Morgan in Inuvik, NWT to talk about the potentially devastating decision by the Trump Administration to open up the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas development. Known as ANWR, this Arctic refuge is 19 million acres of pristine wilderness, roughly the size of New Brunswick. It is also the calving grounds to the Porcupine Caribou herd, which has been sustainably hunted for centuries by the Gwich'in people on both sides of what is now the Canada-US Border. Gwich'in leaders have warned about the environmental damage that drilling will have in the refuge, including the very real danger that it will decimate one of the last large and healthy Caribou herds left in the Arctic, one which the Gwich'in people still rely on as a crucial food source, as well as being one of their central cultural touchstones.A special thanks goes out to the Red Dog Singers of Treaty 4 territory in Saskatchewan for providing the theme music for this podcast.The Ahkameyimok Podcast is produced in Ottawa by David McGuffin of Explore Podcast Productions.

Depuis qu'on est confinés parce que notre planète s'est chopée un bon gros virus, on prend le micro en direct tous les soirs à 21h pour donner la parole aux expats et aux voyageurs coincés, quelque part dans le monde ! Eparpillés à travers le vaste monde, ils racontent chaque soir comme se passe leur confinement et ce qu'ils voient autour d'eux alors que le coronavirus fait le tour de la planète. Dans ce nouvel épisode, on vous emmène au Canada, en Colombie, en Italie et au Maroc Julien est installé dans le nord-ouest du Canada depuis 7 ans. Après avoir vécu en Alaska pendant 5 ans, il s'est fixé à Yukon. Aujourd'hui, il s'est fixé à Yellowknife dans le nord-ouest depuis 6 mois. Il travaille sur la mise en place de nouvelles zones protégées pour le gouvernement territorial. Depuis le début du confinement et le "social distancing" imposés, Julien travaille depuis sa maison. Son travail vise en priorité la protection des communautés isolées (33 en tout). Il ne va donc plus faire d'évaluations écologiques de terrain. Il explique que les capacités médicales sur le territoire sont très faibles et centralisées dans deux communautés majoritairement : Yellowknife et Inuvik pour un territoire deux fois plus grand que la France. Le gouvernement a donc mis en place très tôt des limitations de circulation qui semblent fonctionner : 5 cas confirmés dans tout le territoire (mardi). Comme pour la plupart des communautés isolées, la problématique est le ravitaillement en nourriture, ils sont situés à 1500 km par route du premier centre urbain (Edmonton) mais la plupart des communautés ne sont desservies que par petit avion. Il y a encore de la nourriture dans les supermarchés (règles strictes). Les leaders autochtones ont pour leur part, recommandé aux populations de partir en camps de chasse pour plusieurs semaines afin d'assurer leur approvisionnement et transmettre leurs savoirs aux jeunes. Leur chance : savoir vivre dans les bois et s'adapter. Martha est colombienne. Elle vit à Neiva, dans le sud du Pays. On l'avait eu dans l'émission le 23 mars ! Elle connaît bien la France et enseigne le français et en anglais. Elle est toujours confinée avec son mari et son fils étudiant. Martha nous raconte que le confinement est prolongé jusqu'en mai. Elle ne cache pas ses préoccupations quant à la situation des plus précaires qui vivent de ventes dans la rue. La mairie distribue des paniers de courses pour les plus défavorisés mais elle a vite été débordé par les demandes qui affluent. Mathieu est toujours confiné à Rome. Depuis son passage dans l'émission du 24 mars dans laquelle il nous avait raconté l'ambiance particulière du confinement, cet expatrié nous fait part des dernières mesures prises en Italie. Il raconte notamment qu'ils peuvent encore se déplacer à deux pour faire des courses mais seule une personne par foyer peut entrer dans les magasins. Il observe aussi que de plus en plus d'Italiens utilisent des gants, des masques ou encore visière lorsqu'ils sortent. C'était quelque chose surréaliste il y a dix jours. Aujourd'hui, selon Mathieu, cela ne surprend plus personne. Amine et Chloé vivent à Marrakech depuis un peu plus d'un an. Le couple s'est installé dans leur maison familiale et ils sont en confinement total. Depuis 2 jours, les marocains ont l'obligation de porter un masque pour sortir. C'est Chloé qui confectionne leurs masques pour pouvoir aller en acheter aux normes. Le Maroc a également instauré un couvre-feu à partir de 18h depuis le début du confinement. Si une voiture est dehors au moment de l'interdiction de circuler, elle est emmené à la fourrière Enfin, si quelqu'un sort sans ses papiers, il est arrêté ! On ne plaisante pas au Maroc où le Roi a pris des mesures strictes très rapidement pour éviter la propagation du coronavirus. Si la situation empirait, ce serait catastrophique pour ce pays qui n'a pas les moyens de gérer une crise sanitaire.  Le couple explique enfin qu'il avait ouvert un commerce de produits de design artisanat du monde entier, le Pingouin du désert, il y a 3 mois. Malheureusement, ils ont dû le fermer.     Soutenez-nous !
