North by Northwest Territories (Pt. 24) - Western Arctic Regional Visitors Centre
November 15, 2019 - It's my last day in Inuvik, and I finally get to check out the Western Arctic Regional Visitors Centre! It's open through the summer for the general public, but by appointment only during the rest of the year (such as this).
It's a mini-museum, really, with exhibits on the natural beauty, geography, and animals of the region, as well as the indigenous Gwich'in and Inuit peoples of the area, their customs, traditions, and even the comparatively newer landmarks in the area like the Dempster and Tuktoyaktuk Highways.

Time Lapse: The Arctic Highway from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT, Canada
November 11, 2019 - A huge item got checked off of the bucket list today - we drove to the Arctic Ocean!
Thanks to a new road built in 2017, Canada now has highways that connect all three of its oceanic coasts. Starting before sunrise in Inuvik, just inside the tree line, we take our truck to Tuk some 151 km away on the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway (NWT Highway 10).
About two minutes north of Inuvik, Google Streetview cuts off, so until they send that little car of theirs up here again, this may very well be the best way to see the highway in the early winter - until you make the journey, yourself!
Note: As it's Remembrance Day, not much is open in Tuktoyaktuk - but getting there is half the fun! Falling into the freezing Arctic waters is the other half.

Best Things To Do In The Northwest Territories - Canada Road Trip Travel Documentary
In this video, we share some of the best things to do in the Northwest Territories, including Yellowknife, Inuvik, and Tuktoyaktuk!
Welcome to the NWT!
With more than one million square kilometres of land area and a population of less than 50,000, the Northwest Territories is about as wild as it gets. It's certainly not an easy area to visit (many places are fly-in, many roads are gravel, and distances are vast) but for those who make the effort, there are incredible things to experience.
With boreal forest, arctic tundra, some of Canada's greatest waterfalls, a vibrant indigenous culture, and boundless wilderness, this is an adventurers paradise!
We explored the NWT from August 16 - September 1st, 2017!

Lola Sheppard and Mason White, Undisciplined
Every act of architecture is simultaneously a declaration and realignment of its disciplinarity. Architecture’s recent history seems best characterized by a dizzying swing from the project of autonomy to various forms of transgression. A centrifugal pull toward the discipline’s exterior, in the last decade, may have shifted the balance in favor of transgression and realigned the discipline’s center; but this extrinsic architecture remains ill defined. This talk by Lola Sheppard and Mason White will present methodology, or what they call “detective work,” and recent projects that attempt to locate and assert the undisciplined as a spatial practice. Sheppard is an associate professor at University of Waterloo. White is an associate professor at University of Toronto. Together, they are Lateral Office.
The work of Lateral Office has been exhibited in numerous venues across the United States and Canada, as well as Germany, Iceland, England, and the Faroe Islands, with clients and collaborators including the City of Memphis, City of Reykjavik, City of Toronto, Metis Garden, Harbourfront Centre, Culture and Heritage Nunavut, and Holcim Foundation among others. Lateral Office are co-authors of Pamphlet Architecture: Coupling / Strategies for Infrastructural Opportunism published by Princeton Architectural Press; and authors of the forthcoming book Many Norths published by Actar.
Lateral Office have been recognized with several awards and merits including: the 2012 Arctic Inspiration Prize; the 2011 Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction Gold Award; and the 2011 Emerging Voices award from the Architectural League of New York. The firm was selected to represent Canada with a project called Arctic Adaptations at the 2014 Venice Biennale in Architecture, where they received Special Mention - a first for Canada at the Architecture Biennale.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (French: Société Radio-Canada), branded as CBC/Radio-Canada, is a Canadian federal Crown corporation that serves as the national public broadcaster for both radio and television. The English- and French-language service units of the corporation are commonly known as CBC and Radio-Canada respectively, and both short-form names are also commonly used in the applicable language to refer to the corporation as a whole.
Although some local stations in Canada predate CBC's founding, CBC is the oldest existing broadcasting network in Canada, first established in its present form on November 2, 1936. Radio services include CBC Radio One, CBC Music, Ici Radio-Canada Première, Ici Musique and the international radio service Radio Canada International. Television operations include CBC Television, Ici Radio-Canada Télé, CBC News Network, Ici RDI, Ici Explora, Documentary Channel (part ownership), and Ici ARTV. The CBC operates services for the Canadian Arctic under the names CBC North and Radio-Canada Nord. The CBC also operates digital services including CBC.ca/Ici.Radio-Canada.ca, CBC Radio 3, CBC Music/ICI.mu and Ici.TOU.TV, and owns 20.2% of satellite radio broadcaster Sirius XM Canada, which carries several CBC-produced audio channels.
CBC/Radio-Canada offers programming in English, French and eight aboriginal languages on its domestic radio service, and in five languages on its web-based international radio service, Radio Canada International (RCI). However, budget cuts in the early 2010s have contributed to the corporation reducing its service via the airwaves, discontinuing RCI's shortwave broadcasts as well as terrestrial television broadcasts in all communities served by network-owned rebroadcast transmitters, including communities not subject to Canada's over-the-air digital television transition.
CBC's federal funding is supplemented by revenue from commercial advertising on its television broadcasts. The radio service employed commercials from its inception to 1974, but since its primary radio networks have been commercial-free. In 2013, CBC's secondary radio networks, CBC Music and Ici Musique, introduced limited advertising of up to four minutes an hour, but this was disco ...
