/ Clancy Sindlinger

As a kid in Calgary, Alberta, Clancy discovered a world of wonder along the banks of the Bow River, chasing bugs and frogs, fishing and sending her carcass down grassy knolls in the family toboggan. She later relocated to BC’s coast, where she got her first job in outdoor education at 17 and fell in love with the feeling of introducing people to the incredible coastal temperate rainforest ecosystems of her home province. 

While intermittently chipping away at a Bachelor of Music in Opera with an Honours Bachelor of Science from the University of Ottawa, her fear

of desks drove her to try a variety of jobs including sea kayak guiding, silviculture technician work, and instructing for Outward Bound Canada. She rediscovered her love of chucking herself down snow-covered slopes when she moved to Northern BC, and over the last three seasons she has worked as a CSIA ski instructor and professional ski patroller.

This season she will start work as a tailguide and snowcat driver at a remote cat skiing lodge, and is excited to continue working toward her ski guiding accreditations. Clancy is also the producer and host of Different Aspects Podcast, a show she began with the hope of elevating access to the

stories of women and gender diverse folks who work in various corners of the outdoor industry.

/ about Kari Morgan

Born in Prince Rupert, British Columbia; her background is Nisga’a from the house of Kw’isk'ayn, European, and Métis. Morgan is a Sculptor, Painter, and Designer, whose clear passion for art and mixed media emerged in her early childhood. While studying under master carvers, Dempsey Bob, Stan Bevan, and Ken McNeil, Morgan received The Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art Advanced Diploma.

Her artwork is known for being both sharp and fluid, and at times beautifully minimalist. Morgan weaves through the delineation of what is known as traditional First Nations art and contemporary, while exploring what these very same labels, imposed by other cultures, mean to society and to herself.

Morgan believes traditional art is more than just the visual language for the people of the Northwest, she also believes it is medicine for the soul. She is  honored to be practicing her traditional art and has so much gratitude for all the people who have kept these practices alive, even through all the attempts to remove this knowledge from history. Morgan enjoys learning and challenging herself, and while discovering more about her traditions she is also discovering what it means to be a Native woman practicing art in the modern world. Morgan aims to display the strengths of her culture and people through her art and entice positive narrative change.

Morgan has displayed artwork in various shows at The Museum of Northern British Columbia, Lester Center of the Arts, Terrace Art Gallery, Smithers Art Gallery, The Kitimat Museum, The Spirit Wrestler Gallery in Vancouver, and the Stonington Gallery in Seattle where she has also held a Solo Exhibition “Post-Apocalyptic” in April 2022. Morgan has instructed multiple artist talks and art practice workshops throughout the Northwest in various schools and locations.

Born and raised in Terrace, there was no better feeling heading up to Shames when I first started snowboarding.  This passion quickly turned to a healthy obsession, and now into a career and lifestyle.

/ about Alexandre Choquette, panel chair

Alexandre is an adventure photographer and quantum physicist from Quebec. He has always been captivated by how natural phenomena occur. When adventuring in the outdoors, he would focus on details and textures he found along his way and wonder what could possibly have brought them into existence and what will happen to them. Through photography, he found a way to share this fascination of his and make the observer stare at what he captured for as long as he did. Alexandre now shares his time between Northwestern British-Columbia and Montreal.
