Inuk Artist Elisapie Is a Natural Force | ELLE Canada Magazine | Beauty, Fashion and Lifestyle Trends & Celebrity News

The last time I saw Elisapie was onstage recently in Toronto; she mesmerized the crowd with songs from her latest album, Inuktitut, before wrapping up the show with an open invitation to come and dance with her onstage. In the spirit of good journalism, I joined the fans who rushed up to sway along to “Inuuniaravit (Born to Be Alive)”—a cover of the 1978 hit by French artist Patrick Hernandez—with the singer and her band.

Elisapie : Le chant des possibles | Magazine ELLE Québec | Tendances mode, beauté, lifestyle et célébrités

Elisapie est très demandée. Au début de l’été, nous nous sommes entretenues par visioconférence lors d’un rare moment de répit dans son horaire, alors qu’elle revenait de New York où elle avait donné un concert au Smithsonian, plus précisément au National Museum of the American Indian. Elle est dans sa demeure montréalaise.

Wildlife ecology done “in a good way” | Canada Foundation for Innovation

Jesse Popp does what you might expect a wildlife ecologist to do — tracks the behaviours of animals and uses scientific methodologies to learn about their population decline.But Popp’s approach to studying large mammals like wolves and moose — which brings her and her team to the Land in First Nations in Ontario including Wiikwemkoong, Batchewana and Magnetawan — also veers away from that typical path in unexpected ways.

How Christian Allaire Forged His Own Path | ELLE Canada Magazine | Beauty, Fashion and Lifestyle Trends & Celebrity News

“Every time I write about someone, the number one [response] I get is ‘I never thought I would be written about in Vogue’ or ‘I never thought anyone would write about my work, period,’ and it’s frustrating that that’s so common,” he says. “[We] should be writing about these artists because their work is out of this world and it’s such a shame that people aren’t discovering them.

For actor Anna Lambe, star of Netflix/CBC/APTN’s North of North comedy series, growing up in Iqaluit, a trip to the store was like a fashion show. “You see other people’s parkas, and you’re like ‘Oh my god, who made that? I see you!’” she tells ELLE Canada ahead of the show’s global Netflix launch on April 10. (The entire first season is already streaming in Canada on CBC Gem and APTN Lumi.)

Ava DuVernay Is Taking a Look at the More Intimate Picture

When Ava DuVernay arrives in Toronto during early winter, her voice is raspy and well worn, but it’s the only indicator of how exhausted she is. Clad in flowing black pants, a turtleneck and a sprinkle of gold jewellery, the acclaimed director looks impossibly chic as she rises from a leather club chair in the green room at Toronto’s TIFF Bell Lightbox theatre to warmly welcome me. DuVernay is in town to unveil the Lightbox’s newly christened Viola Desmond Cinema with Origin, her latest film.

Six Miles from the Mouth of the River

I have the fuzziest recollection of the first time I heard a land acknowledgement, likely at an artist talk at the Art Gallery of Ontario in 2016 or so. I would’ve been around thirty-five years old, and when the event host recited the acknowledgement, I was…confused. It turned out that this was my first of many land acknowledgements I would experience. They would roll out time and time again, in educational, entertainment and sporting spaces, gaining steam over the last decade.
