Breaking Ice
The Northern Region of Canada is an unbelievable place. A place that exists outside of the regular day to day understanding of life for most people. It is a place of extremes, from weather, remoteness, beauty, logistics, to costs, community and adventure. This kind of environment does not create soft people. Living & working in the North has given me the great pleasure of meeting and getting to know these extraordinary individuals. On Breaking Ice we will sit down and talk unfiltered with people about their lives, business and passions.

Jasmine Bailes - Community Life, Black Spruce Education & The Value of Expeditions
Jasmine Bailes grew up in Norman Wells, spending much of her childhood living “out in DOT” with her family—an experience that deeply rooted her connection to the land. Over the years, she had the opportunity to work with Gana River Outfitters as a camp cook, a role that allowed her to live and work closely alongside experienced hunting guides. This hands-on experience not only strengthened her outdoor skills but also deepened her appreciation for the land and those who work on it. Building on that foundation, Jasmine later joined a trip with Black Spruce Education, which introduced her to the world of expeditionary travel and land-based learning. That experience sparked a new passion and ultimately led her to her current role as the Land-Based Programs Intern with Black Spruce. She joined us on the podcast today to talk about her upbringing, her journey so far, and the important work Black Spruce is doing to support and inspire youth across the Sahtú region.
