Search Speaker Bureau
The Speakers Bureau is a directory of arctic researchers and experts that are available to visit organizations, communities or schools to give presentations. The directory contains names, addresses, science specialties, and presentation experience.
We encourage organizations and communities applying to the Arctic Visiting Speakers Series to use the Speakers Bureau to select a visiting speaker. If a particular subject or speaker is not listed, please contact Judy Fahnestock at avs [at] arcus [dot] org, for suggested speakers.
Charles Cahill
About:
The Inuit as a culture are resilient, resourceful, gregarious and a truly unique component of our multi-cultural Canadian identity.
Charles Cahill has hands on experience with the Inuit lifestyle and culture in Nunavut. He is an experienced presenter, having spoken at more than 1000 audiences of teachers, academics and students since 1999. He currently lives and works in Nunavut for part of the year and he feels that he can provide valuable first hand information on life in the arctic.
Charlie worked as Economic Development Officer for the Government of the Northwest Territories for ten years and still works 4-5 months a year in Nunavut. His work involved interaction with local hunters and trappers groups, Inuit arts and crafts Associations and many Inuit businesses. He also served on the local Education Committee, the Hamlet Council and various community Boards and agencies.
Charlie feels that he can provide an overview of life in Nunavut today and insights into the transition that Nunavut is experiencing. He would be happy to speak to any of the potential audiences and is available upon request.
