NUNAVUT-CANADA'S TROUBLED NORTH-The pristine beauty of Cape Dorset gives little hint of the troubles faced by a population struggling to cope with a dramatic transition between their traditional lifestyle of hunting and fishing and their new community based living with a modern economy.


School children try to get close to hunters returning from a seal hunt to the small hamlet of Cape Dorset, Nunavut, Canada on November 10, 2010. Fifty per cent of Nunavut's children do not graduate from high school and with high unemployment many families still rely on the hunts for much of their food.


Two children play with a soccer ball in the snow in Iqaluit, Nunavut on November 12, 2010.


Artist E.J. Etorolopiaq, is carving a drum dancer out of serpentine, outside of his in-laws home in Apex, Iqaluit, Nunavut on Nov. 6, 2010. Many men depend on the sales of their carvings for income, but some experts say that the demand for traditional art is declining as the market has become saturated.



Inuit carver Johnny Papikatuk is covered with stone dust while carving outside of his home in Cape Dorset, Nunavut on November 9, 2010. The majority of Inuit carvers now use electric power tools to speed up the process, and most, like this man, do not wear a mask, protective glasses, or gloves.


A lack of funding for housing and overcrowding in homes are two of the major issues that Nunavut's government is facing. At the small home of elder Peter Ningeosiak, 73, live eleven family members. Their lives differ dramatically from the lives depicted by media they receive from the south.


While their is a shortage of housing, some houses still sit vacant and in need of repair. This house, in Cape Dorset, Nunavut on November 9, 2010, was the scene of a murder on Sept. 20th. The family refuses to live their again, and other families are resistant to moving in as well. Police evidence markings with the date are still visible on the floor at the entrance to the living room where the murder occurred.


An intoxicated woman is removed from a home after a disturbance on November 6, 2010, in Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada. The RCMP detachment in Iqaluit is kept busy every night with domestic calls primarily caused by the abuse of drugs and alcohol.


The Baffin Correctional Centre in the territorial capital of Iqaluit is over crowded and in need of repair. Outside in the fenced courtyard men play dodgeball in the cold air on Nov. 6, 2010.


This man has worked his way up through the system from the juvenile detention centre and now to an isolation cell in the Baffin Correctional Centre. His nickname, "Inuksta," tattooed across his back is his own Inuit play on the word "gangsta."


In keeping with tradition, most Inuit refuse to speak frankly about violent incidents in their communities, and refer to them only in broad terms as "the troubles." But with a renewed sense of urgency a men's group has evolved and is working within communities to hold healing services, like this one in Repulse Bay, Nunavut on November 13, 2010. Following a day of group therapy they held a healing service open to all members of the community where there were prayers, music and tears as men shared their pain openly and made amends with family members, and people came forward to be healed.


A single word "why" is scratched into a wooden cross that marks a shallow grave in the Anglican Cemetery in Cape Dorset, Nunavut. The rates of suicide and violence in Canada's newest territory are far beyond those experienced anywhere else in the country.

US Army flight medic SGT Ian Bugh of the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade prepares for a night mission outside his medevac helicopter at Forward Operating Base Wilson in volatile Zhari District in Kandahar, Afghanistan. This medevac unit is call signed DUSTOFF and dates back to the VIetnam war. This medevac deployment during the Kandahar Offensive would go on to complete almost as many missions as the units that operated in the Vietnam War.


Men rush a wounded 8-year-old boy to Canadian troops for help after he was critically injured by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) set by Taliban insurgents looking to target Canadian troops on patrol in the village of Fathullah in Panjwa'i District in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan who would call on a medevac for life saving treatment.

Seen in a US Army MEDEVAC helicopter are the bandaged legs of an Afghan soldier who lost his feet and part of his legs to an improvised explosive device (IED) in the Arghandab Valley in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. IED's are one of the most common weapons used by Taliban insurgents which can be indiscriminate, killing and maiming both combatants and civilians.


An Afghan police officer sits stunned while comforting two boys who were blinded by land mines set by Taliban insurgents targeting Afghan and American soldiers. The boys are being evacuated in a US Army MEDEVAC helicopter from the Arghandab Valley in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan to an ISAF medical facility for treatment. IED's are one of the most common weapons used by Taliban insurgents which can be indiscriminate, killing and maiming both combatants and civilians.


US Army flight medic SGT Ian Bugh of the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade treats one of two critically wounded US soldiers in the  back of a medevac helicopter in volatile Zhari District in Kandahar Province where they were wounded by an improvised explosive device (IED) set by insurgents. Flight medics keep casualties alive just long enough so they can be treated at a higher facility at Kandahar Airfield.


US Army flight Medic SGT Patrick Schultz talks to a wounded US soldier in the rear of a medevac helicopter while flying to Kandahar Airfield after he was injured by an improvised explosive device in Zhari District, Kandahar, Afghanistan. Many wounded soldiers such as this have serious internal wounds, trauma and are blindefolded due to the effects on the eyes of medications.


While being transported by medevac helicopter a US soldier holds his comrades hand after he was critically injured in an insurgent attack on their patrol in Maiwand District, Kandahar Province, Afghanistan.


A frightened Afghan boy watches US Army flight medic SGT Ian Bugh (L) of the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade treat one of his two critically wounded brothers in the  back of a medevac helicopter flying at breakneck speed for life saving treatment at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan. The boys were injured in volatile Zhari District in Kandahar Province by an improvised explosive device (IED) set by insurgents which was detonated by a passing donkey. With multiple critical casualties the medic must make the difficult decision and choose who has the best chance of surviving and treat them first, these boys were treated and survived.


A US soldier illuminates the legs of a comrade critically injured by an improvised explosive device (IED) attack at night on their armoured vehicle for the flight medic flying with the 101st Airborne Combat Aviation Brigade who is organizing the evacuation of the wounded via  a medevac helicopter to Kandahar Airfield, Kandahar, Afghanistan. Medevac crews work 7 days a week 24 hours a day even at night.


The shadow of a US medevac helicopter of the 101st Airborne Combat Aviation Brigade is flying seen over US and Afghan troops after picking up a wounded US soldier critically injured by an improvised explosive device (IED) south of Spin Pir in Zhari District, Kandahar, Afghanistan during operations aimed at clearing insurgents from their strongholds. Medevac helicopters fly into any area to pick up casulties even under fire.


A US Army medic (L) embraces flight medic SGT First Class Richard Miller (R) of the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade below the medevac helicopters rotor blades giving SFC Miller details of the casualties injuries as paratroopers from the 101st Airborne carry their wounded comrade who was injured by an improvised explosive device (IED) attack to the waiting helicopter in Zhari District, Kandahar Afghanistan.


The rotors of a US Army medevac helicopter blows dust over a mud wall and a field along with yellow smoke popped by troops on the ground to mark the landing zone (LZ) and as it lands to pick up a US soldier critically wounded by an IED (improvised explosive device) somewhere between the villages of Sangasar and Spin Pir in Zhari District, Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. Every LZ is different and very confusing as the blowing dust makes visibility almost impossible even when looking out for insurgents who are constantly trying to shoot the helicopters down.

Roadside memorials: The crossroads of life and death. Usually, there is a cross. Sometimes there are scraps of metal, salvaged from the car that carried someone to their death. There are teddy bears and photographs; plastic flowers and hockey sticks; poetry and beer bottles. Always, there is grief and loss. Roadside death memorials have existed for centuries. With the rise of the automobile and modern highways, though, sudden road deaths have become routine, and so have roadside shrines.

KINGSTON, Ont. (20/11/2010) - At her behest, Don Pettigrew shoots speed into a vein in Pat Jeffery's neck. After years of intravenous drug use, Jeffery's arms are scarred and it is too difficult to find her veins. In a nightly ritual, Pettigrew, 53, prepares the rock of speed, shoots himself up and then does Jeffery, also 53. Sometimes he must try several times before finding a vein, even in her neck.


TORONTO, Ont. (26/06/2010) - A protester is run over by a group of mounted police who were using their horses to help riot police clear a dwindling crowd out of Queen's Park around 7:30 Saturday evening.

TORONTO, Ont. (27/06/2010) - Several police wrestle a protester to the ground before handcuffing him outside the Eastern Avenue Detention Centre Sunday morning.

More than 1,000 people were arrested over the course of the weekend.


KINGSTON, Ont. (03/02/2010) - Didier Stowe and Olivier Lemieux take their show to the air above Market Square with the help of some trampolines at Kingston's Feb Fest Wednesday afternoon.

This is the Flying Canucks' second year at Feb Fest and, judging by the reception they got, they are a highlight of the week's events.

Frontenacs defenceman Taylor Doherty took control of the puck during a power play and fired it through the crease and over to Quine, who dropped to one knee and shot the puck over goalie Scott Wedgewood. The Frontenacs fought back from a 5-1 deficit, only to suffer a heartbreaking loss in overtime as Whalers right wing Robbie Czarnik scored with 16 seconds left to lead his team to a 6-5 victory.


KINGSTON, Ont. (03/11/2010) - Peter Kerkatsch is one of the higher functioning patients on 3-South, the Complex Continuing Care wing at Providence Care's St. Mary's of the Lake Hospital site.

BELLEVILLE, Ont. (05/10/2010) - Margaret "Peggy" Wilson was born March 21, 1910. She has resided at the Bayview Retirement Residence in Belleville, Ontario for the past 6 years. She has two children, five grandchildren and cannot recall how many great-grandchildren. "I'm hard to get along with," she says, but explains that she is more affable after a few glasses of wine.


KINGSTON, Ont. (18/01/2011) - Yannick Tona was just four years old when the Rwandan genocide began in 1994. He had no idea why so many people were running or what Hutus and Tutsis were, but he soon learned. His family split into pairs and he and his mother escaped by walking in the bush for three weeks. Of 20 family members, six survived, including both his parents and one sister. He has since dedicated himself to raising awareness about the Rwandan genocide and to eliminating hatred and advocating for human rights through organizations such as Aegis Students Rwanda. He spoke about his experiences and his work at Queen's University's Dunning Hall Tuesday night.
