LEO Network

LEO Network Expansion to Northwest Territories, Canada

In March 2017, Mike Brook and Mike Brubaker from ANTHC led a LEO workshop in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. Since the workshop was only a single day, it provided an overview of LEO, with an emphasis on observing. The next day, an informal meeting covered hub operations with a small group from NWT.

Participants in the workshop came from all over the NWT, plus some other Canadian provinces. Additionally, representatives from CEC and INAC were in attendance.

A highlight of the workshop was the opening "talking circle," where all participants were invited to share their own observations of environmental change in their communities.

The NWT hub is very new, and has had little traffic thus far. Still, a significant Observation was shared in the workshop about an alarming birch tree die-off that appears to be happening in Yellowknife. This Observation is not published yet, but appears below in draft form.
