The Legacy of Hope Foundation is a national Indigenous-led charitable organization with the mandate to educate and create awareness and understanding about the Residential School System, including the intergenerational impacts such as the removal of generations of Indigenous children from their families, including the Sixties Scoop, the post-traumatic stress disorders that many First Nations, Inuit, and Métis continue to experience, all while trying to address racism, foster empathy and understanding and inspire action to improve the situation of Indigenous Peoples today. The LHF supports the ongoing healing process of Residential School Survivors, and their families and seeks their input on projects that honour them.

On this week’s episode of the Legacy of Hope Foundation’s Roots & Hoots, host Gordon Spence is delighted to be joined by Alex Flaherty. Alex is from Iqaluit, Nunavut, and spent his childhood in Grise Fiord, the most northern community in Canada. With a small population of less than 200, Alex’s grandparents moved in the 1950s from Northern Quebec to the High Arctic, where they had to adapt to difficult hunting and living conditions. Alex grew up hunting and camping with his father, which inspired his passion for the outdoors and his reverence for the stunning landscapes of the North. These experiences, coupled with his strong connection to the land, and his enthusiasm for place-based learning, helped spark Alex’s vision for what would become his company, Polar Outfitting.
