Northern research behind the scenes [video report]

Looking back at a trip to Nunavik with a Université Laval School of Architecture research team interested in Inuit housing The temperature is 7 degrees Celsius, a bit chilly for a summer evening. The sun is still high in the sky. Four-wheelers and other off-road vehicles are kicking up a cloud of dust. Smiling kids are playing catch. The atmosphere is just as lively at the wharf, where small fishing boats are busy catching a beluga whale that has just made a surprise visit. Welcome to Kangiqsualujjuaq, a village of about 900 people on Ungava Bay, where the people live in sync with the seasons and the tides of the George River Cove. It's here in this remote community that the Living in Northern Quebec research team has been conducting collaborative research since 2019, under the direction of Professor Geneviève Vachon.
