Meet Hayleigh, Geomatics Technician

It’s very hard to choose, but right now I’m thinking about standing on Nunaluk Spit in Ivvavik National Park, where the Firth River meets the Arctic Ocean, watching belugas feeding and hearing chunks of ice called “growlers” crack off and splash into the water!

I spent time last summer at the Pingo Canadian Landmark planning a way to monitor the height of the pingos. It’s important to know if they’re growing or shrinking. It should be a fun summer visiting this special site again and doing measurements with a drone!

I love being able to work with each team at Parks Canada. GIS is a resource for everyone, and can help tell stories and solve problems in any area.

I love how I keep realizing how much there is to know – the land has so much to teach us, and I am reminded of that every day!
