Throughout its evolution, Canadian North has been focused on bringing transportation to underserved communities. The company which began as a subsidiary of Canadian Airlines in 1989 and is now an entirely Inuit-owned airline serving the Northwest Territories, Nunavik and Nunavut has an ambitious mission statement: “To meaningfully improve the lives of our people, our customers and the communities we serve.”
“You can say we’re perhaps overreaching with this statement, but in the regions we serve, there are often no roads, no rails,” says Chris Avery, Canadian North’s president and CEO. “That’s where our drive comes from. We’re a small company, but we serve a very important population that depends on us.”

The Kenora Jail
THUNDER BAY Two of seven inmates involved in the hostage-taking of a correctional officer at the Kenora jail in 2018 each entered guilty pleas to various charges stemming from the 2018 incident this week.
On Wednesday, April 7, Travis Polkinghorne, 30, pleaded guilty to a string of charges arising from an incident that took place more than two years ago at the Kenora Jail where a correctional officer was beaten, dragged and held captive by a prisoner with a shank as other inmates made demands for drugs in exchange for his release.
Polkinghorne pleaded guilty to hostage-taking, two counts of assaulting a peace officer with a weapon, disarming a peace officer, possession of a prohibited weapon, and uttering threats to cause death. He was handed a six-year jail sentence.
