Kira’s excellent work ethic, intuition and keen eye for news made my job as editor of the Caledon Citizen very easy while we worked together. She covered all local council meetings, was front and centre at community events and fundraisers, and could always be counted on to report accurately and fairly. In all the time that I worked alongside Kira, I never once knew her to turn down an assignment. She is an extremely dependable writer, who regularly made herself available on short notice, reporting the news community residents needed to know. She was a delight to work with.

In my experience as the Founder of Horizon Education Agency I have had the pleasure of working with many of the students and engineering industry’s brightest minds. Unfortunately, most of the time they have difficulties with English. However, Ms. Dorward ranks among the very best teachers I’ve ever encountered. Her teaching technics on the topics of innovation and creativity have influenced students and young engineers in Baku. Ms. Dorward has also been effective in her efforts with media outreach. She has been able to write interesting press releases and articles and convince editors to publish those pieces. Ms. Dorward is willing to take risks. She will reach out to people and involve them with projects. It is with only the highest regards that I recommend Ms. Dorward for any organization and I wish her only the very best!

First Fish brings Nunavut char and turbot from ice to table

“We’re very happy to help them out by not only selling their fish, but by creating a surplus to reinvest… the whole idea is to run business efficiently, but also develop social impact. [They] need a better price for production, and with the importation down south, we give them direct access to the southern market instead of selling in bulk.

“What we’re finding in the Toronto market,” continues Labbé, is that people are getting excited about the quality of the fish, which is helping with pricing.”

Nunavummiuq recalls addictions struggle and journey to sobriety

Now 27 years old, Totalik recounts his experiences “under the system” since age four, when he was removed from an allegedly abusive situation in a home where alcohol was abused. He considers himself to be a “stolen child” who went through 15 or more foster homes.

“I lost count,” recalls Totalik. “They were different homes all around Nunavut, so it was traumatizing. You don’t know who these [foster parents] are or what their background is. I call it the ‘new residential school.’”

He added that he considers his history and background to be factors leading to his addiction problems.
