November 4th - you will see the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. It is the 2nd of three supermoons in a row, the "beaver moon" and will create an impressive supermoon spectacle.

We need Arctic Radio!
In my role at UM I met Sue O'Brien with Arctic Radio. I promised to get her content her listeners needed and we created a great relationship.
Arctic Radio is an essential service and hope Premier Kinew can help keep the lights stay on.
