Northern Saskatchewan’s most ancient landscape
Peatlands, commonly known as muskegs, are an important part of the eco-system in Northern Saskatchewan and many other parts of the world. They not only provide a crucial role in maintaining the carbon capture cycle where they exist, but they are also essential to the plants and animals native to these regions, as well as the people who rely on them to continue their traditional way of life.
Our Way, Our Words
Long-time La Ronge resident and Métis journalist, Derek Cornet is leading the development of the ‘Our way, Our words’ stories with an emphasis on respectful, meaningful coverage, and editorial priorities that reflect the North’s diversity and realities.
Derek has been reporting news in Northern Saskatchewan since 2013 and has travelled extensively across the north, building connections with each community along the way. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Native Studies through the University of Saskatchewan, as well as a Bachelor of Journalism from the University of Regina.
