THE HEARTBEAT OF CNSC

What's Happening

For this weeks #leageofawesomesciencestaff update, For this weeks #leageofawesomesciencestaff update, we caught up with Owen Fitzpatrick “I am currently working for an environmental consulting company in a variety of roles, from field technician to data analyst, based in the southern interior of B.C. The work is always changing, fast-paced, and full of a diversity of tasks, something that the CNSC prepared me well for. I was a seasonal research technician at the CNSC. I had a great opportunity to help out with Earthwatch citizen science groups, work remotely on treeline research, and help out with all sorts of tasks at the Centre, from collecting data to trying to make sea ice interesting for kids. I began in October 2018, and was last there October 2019, although there was time off and some travelling back and forth in between. A single memory is hard to pick, there were so many great ones, big and small: from the aurora sweeping overhead on winter nights, to snowmobile journeys in the sunshine, to great coworkers, researchers and volunteers (and of course, polar bears and belugas). But now I'm cheating. I think one small thing that will stick with me in particular was the drive(s) from the CNSC to town, and seeing the expanses of the tundra and Hudson Bay unfold from some of the 'high' points along the coast. There was always a feeling of immense space or atmosphere, depending on what the weather was doing. Rolling down the windows on the warmer days and letting the smell of the tundra or the Bay in was even better.” #sustainthenorth

Our ‘Where Are You Now?’ for this week feature Our ‘Where Are You Now?’ for this week features Katrina Jansen. "Hi, I’m Katrina and I’m currently working as a vehicle technician with the Canadian Armed Forces working alongside the humanitarian and disaster relief team." What role did you have at the CNSC? When were you at the Centre? "I started at the CNSC in the Spring of 2007 as the seasonal research tech. I returned in Spring 2008 where the “seasonal” part because open to interpretation, I ended up staying in Churchill all year while finishing my degree through Trent University online. Churchill and the people must have sparked something in me because I stayed in Churchill as both the seasonal tech and full time research technician until Spring 2012." What's your favorite memory of your time at Churchill? "I’ve spent days trying to find an answer to this question and I honestly can’t pick one memory. By spending so much time there in my impressionable years Churchill had a defining role in turning me into the person I am today. Carley taught me how to be me, LeeAnn spurred a love of science, Dr. Pete Kershaw showed me how NOT to drive a snowmobile and the researchers (most notably the UofM crew) became like a second family. All in all 10/10 would recommend the #leagueofawesomesciencestaff experience. Just don’t break your hand in the winter, it makes it hard to shoot.” #sustainthenorth #exploremb
