Jamie Bastedo looks into the heart of one of Canada's largest yet least understood regions - the subarctic wilderness. Told with a passion for northern people and an exacting eye for detail, Reaching North celebrates a vast northern wilderness, drawing inspiration from its basement rock all the way to the aurora borealis.
Jamie Bastedo, former CBC North host and author of Shield Country: The Life and Times of the Oldest Piece of the Planet, Reaching North: A Celebration of the Subarctic and Blue Lake and Rocky Shores, reflects on the charm and mystery of the Canadian Shield. He writes to inform and to inspire, telling a "story of place." He lives in Yellowknife, NWT and operates a touring company that takes tourists on tours of the North and also runs an environmental consulting company.
