Endless Arctic blue—hope and light returning to the North. Artwork by youth artist Tony Eetak, Arviat, Nunavut.
The Arctic skies are slowly growing brighter, a sign that even the longest nights give way to light. This shift reminds us of renewal, resilience, and the power of small changes that lead to something greater.
With National Kindness Week around the corner, now is the perfect time to bring that same light into our communities. A simple act of kindness can spark hope, strengthen connections, and create lasting impact. Let’s make this week—and every week—one of generosity, compassion, and shared humanity.
