Yellowknife, Northwest Territories

Well, today it’s going to be back to Montreal. It’s been an eye-opening trip for me. N.W.T. is one of the most fascinating and diverse places I’ve ever been.

I’ve got hours of tape, hundreds of photos and over the next few months I’ll be putting my stories and reports together for Eye on the Arctic’s 2012 series looking at business and economy in the remote northern regions of the circumpolar world.

I hope you stay tuned.
