Hélèna Katz has a severe visual impairment but has embraced life as though someone left the gate open. After flirting with the Canadian North for a decade, she left the familiarity of a trendy downtown Montreal neighbourhood for life on the outskirts of Fort Smith, Northwest Territories. New experiences captivated her: travelling an ice road, scraping a moosehide alongside a group of Dene women, eating reindeer meat.
Then the day-to-day reality of bears dropping by for lunch set in, along with some shopping that requires a 10-hour drive, and her dogs receiving better healthcare than she does. As did the heartache of watching friends come and leave. Dispatches from Canada’s North features more than 40 stories that examine the confusion and insights of culture shock and the gifts of radical choices while raising the question “Where is home?”
