Adventurous, trail-blazing Wolf lives in a northern mining town and spends her days exploring the mountains and wilderness with her three best friends: Penny, Ann, and Brandi. The girls' secret refuge is their treehouse hideaway, Birchwood, Wolf's favourite place on earth. After her beloved grandmother tells her that she is the great-granddaughter of a tree talker, Wolf knows that she is destined to protect the birch trees and wildlife that surround her. But Wolf's mother doesn't understand this connection at all. Not only is she reluctant to engage with their family's Indigenous roots, she seems suspiciously on the wrong side of the environmental protection efforts in their hometown. To make matters worse, she's just started dating an annoying new boyfriend named Roger, whose motives, and construction company, seem equally suspect. As summer arrives, though, so do bigger problems. Wolf and her friends discover plastic orange bands wrapped around the trees near their cherished hangout spot, and their once stable friendship seems on the verge of unraveling. Birchwood has given them so much--can they even stay together long enough to save this special place?

Northern Power : Enlightening Communities. February 2019


From the Curio channel: News in Review. For most, electricity is something we take for granted. But more than 200 communities in the North don't have reliable power. That's because they're not hooked up to the power grid. Many of these communities are forced to run on costly diesel power, which is prone to frequent outages. Now a $1.6 billion government-backed project is going to bring power to at least 16 northern Ontario First Nations communities. But beyond that, this Indigenous-led project is creating hundreds of jobs and bringing new opportunities to many.
