Podcast appearances and mentions of john sandlos

We haven't seen a ton of snow so far this winter (which might change on Monday) -- so how are the winter sport enthusiasts coping? Our Morning Show reporter Darrell Roberts spoke with John Sandlos from Avalon Nordic, a volunteer-run cross country ski club, to see how him and his team are handling it.

We speak with John Sandlos and Arn Keeling, authors of the book Mining Country: A History of Canada's Mines and Miners, about the historical significance of mining in Canada and Labrador. How do you pass on traditional knowledge without the land to do it on? This is one of the concerns that Elizabeth Penashue shares with us today. A new study on arctic weather systems is showing more precipitation could be headed our way due to climate change, but it will be in the form of rain, causing thick ice on top of the snow. We hear from Michelle McCrystall of the University of Manitoba about this research. Hunting caribou without harvesting caribou is the premise of Torngat Secretariat's latest project. It's meant to pass down traditional knowledge without going against the caribou ban. We speak with wildlife analyst Meredith Purcell. For our latest segment of Labrador Away, we catch up with Meg Simmons, who went from Labrador City to Toronto to work in animation. 12 Days of Christmas is back this year, and our first book giveaway is today! Basque in the Labrador Experience is the first cookbook by Chef Ange Dumaresque of the Florian in Forteau, and we hear from her about what's inside. Finally, the holidays are coming, and people are starting to make plans for dinners and get-togethers. CBC House Doctor Peter Lin joins us to discuss what you should be thinking about from a COVID-prevention point of view.

Canada's National History Society spoke with finalists of the 2020 Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Community Programming who additionally received honourable mention distinction for their projects. The award aims to inspire small or volunteer-led community organizations in the creation of innovative programming that commemorates unique aspects of our heritage. In the interviews, project representatives give insight into how their projects engaged the public in Canadian history, the unique community partnerships they forged, and the lasting community impact. John Sandlos is a professor of history at Memorial University of Newfoundland, where he studies and teaches in the area of Canadian and environmental history. Since 2007, he has conducted extensive archival and community-based research on the history of mining in northern Canada. He is the co-editor (with Arn Keeling) of Mining and Communities in the Canadian North: History, Politics, Memory (University of Calgary Press, 2015). From 2013, Sandlos was the Principal Investigator on the Toxic Legacies Project, a community-based research partnership with the Yellowknives Dene First Nation and Alternatives North (a Yellowknife-based environmental and social justice coalition) to study the historical impacts of arsenic contamination due to gold mining at Yellowknife, and how to communicate the long term toxic threat of 237,000 tonnes of arsenic buried under the ground at the abandoned Giant Mine to future generations.

This week’s episode takes us to Canada’s Northwest Territories. Arn Keeling and John Sandlos, a geographer and an historian at Memorial University of Newfoundland study the mining legacy in Canada’s North. They will walk us through complex issues facing Aboriginal and Indigenous communities and settler communities alike who find themselves in close proximity to mining sites. Arn and John will introduce us to Giant Mine near Yellowknife on the shores of Great Slave Lake and tell us a story that, while disturbing given the magnitude of the issues surrounding Giant Mine, offers a hope of reconciliation and healing.
