John Winters

Why are you involved on this project?

I love the land and sea; the connection between us Inuit and the land/sea is vital to our survival and well-being, so I want to feel and know that I am in some way contributing to preservation/protection of what Nunatsiavummiut depends on.

How does your work relate to Nunatsiavut?

Through implementing plans to adapt the environment within Nunatsiavut through climate changes for the preservation of future generations.

What is your favourite outdoor activity?

Fishing, hunting, and going on adventures.

What is your favourite place in the world?

Favourite place in the world (as of now) is a specific bay in the Torngat Mountains National Park called North Arm. To generally explain the area, you can hike so far until you get to a waterfall, overlooking a glacier valley with a big blue pond. With that, you have these mountains of rust on one side and green vegetation on the other side, throughout the entirety of the bay. Can't forget to mention that the waterfall has the most fresh water you can possibly drink. A sight I'll never forget; absolutely beautiful!!
