First published Aug 25, 2009

Access to primary health care in Resolute Bay, Nunavut
Health Council of Canada: Taking the Pulse
Even for Cathy Rose, Nursing Supervisor at the Resolute Bay Health Centre, minus 50 degrees Celsius is alarmingly cold.

‘That to me is what governance is all about’
The prepared text of the Governor General’s speech on hip-hop, young people and urban arts in Edmonton last week.
