We collected North of North's funniest moments from Season 1 (you're welcome)

CBC30-04-2025

Forget your typical sitcoms – CBC's North of North delivers laughs and heart from the captivating landscape of Ice Cove, Nunavut. This quirky and delightful series follows Anna Lambe as Siaja, a young woman who blows up her marriage to the town's golden boy Ting (Kelly William) and sets out on a new life with her eight-year-old daughter Bun (Keira Belle Cooper).
She moves in with her prickly mom, Neevee (Maika Harper), and finally meets her estranged dad, Alistair (Jay Ryan), an environmental consultant who had no idea Siaja existed. In dire need of a job, she convinces the community centre manager, Helen (Mary Lynn Rajskub), to hire her as an assistant, where she spends time in the warmhearted company of best pals Mille (Zorga Qaunaq) and Colin (Bailey Poching).
This Inuk community vibrates with love and laughter. In some ways, Ice Cove is like any small town with its lore and gossip, except the people who live here drive to work on snowmobiles and wear the most beautiful sealskin parkas.
"While these stories all are fictional, a lot of them have come from grains of truth in lives", says executive producer and co-creator Stacey Aglok-MacDonald. "We're putting all of our insecurities and heartbreak on the table, the things that have ripped our hearts out and made us laugh the hardest, too."
"I think what the show does really well is that it reflects Indigenous reality, in the sense that history and our pain never goes away, but our day-to-day lives are filled with joy and happiness and connection and love," says actor Bailey Poching. "I have a friend who once told me that if we didn't laugh so much, we'd be crying."
Here are just a few top LOL moments from the first season of North of North. Enjoy!

Book club to survey Sinclair's essays

The Free Press Book Club and McNally Robinson Booksellers are pleased to welcome Winnipeg author (and Free Press columnist) Niigaan Sinclair for the next virtual meeting on Tuesday, June 24 at 7 p.m. to read from and discuss his award-winning essay collection Wînipêk: Visions of Canada from an Indigenous Centre. Published in May 2024 by McClelland & Stewart, Wînipêk compiles a year's worth of Sinclair's Free Press columns as well as other writing about how our perception of Winnipeg, and the ways in which Indigenous and non-Indigenous citizens co-exist and survive, is a window into larger questions about colonialism and reconciliation nationwide. Wînipêk was a national bestseller, landing on a number of year-end lists of best books. Sinclair's debut collection also netted him the Governor General's Literary Award for non-fiction, news he was able to share with his father, Murray Sinclair, before he passed in November 2024. Mikaela MacKenzie / Free Press files Niigaan Sinclair In his review of Wînipêk for the Free Press, Matt Henderson says Sinclair 'takes the reader on a journey through the land, water and seasons, the underbelly and magnificence that is Winnipeg,' adding 'Sinclair identifies the overt racism as well as the legislative, calculated mindsets that have intentionally set out to destroy Indigenous Peoples and culture.' Yet Sinclair retains hope for the future of the city; 'Wînipêk is a portal into our violent past, our precarious present and the promise of tomorrow. It should be mandatory reading for all Canadians,' Henderson writes. Sinclair will join fellow Free Press columnist Jen Zoratti, McNally Robinson Booksellers co-owner Chris Hall and Free Press audience engagement manager Erin Lebar to read from Wînipêk, discuss the book and field questions from viewers and readers. Copies of Wînipêk are available to purchase at McNally Robinson Booksellers; there's no cost to join the book club or virtual discussion. Video of the meeting will be available for replay on the Free Press YouTube channel following the event. For more information and to register, visit Wînipêk
