Northern Exposure
WOW.
We asked, and you responded.
Over the last two weeks, we have received many fantastic entries in the Northern Exposure Photo Contest.
We wish we could put up all of them, but in the end only three will be chosen for display on our walls.
However, we would like to thank everyone who took the time to enter, and know that we enjoyed each and every one of these, as well as the stories that go along with them. Northern British Columbia is full of great people and places.
If you're in Prince George tomorrow, be sure to come out to our Open House to help choose a People's Choice Award.

Fracking is a thirsty business. Fracking just one shale gas well can use as much 600 Olympic-size swimming pools of water. That's a big problem for drought-prone Dawson Creek. So the northern city is freeing up "frack water" by putting its sewage up for sale.

Cornering Gas:
Cornering Gas, day two: One heck of a commute
All this week, we are running a special series called "Cornering Gas" on Daybreak North. It takes an in-depth look at the shale gas industry and how it's affecting northeastern B.C. and beyond. Daybreak North co-host Robert Doane and CBC news reporter Betsy Trumpener hit the road to meet the people and places at the centre of the controversial industry.
B.C.'s longest commute?
By plane, bus, or helicopter, Fort Nelson's gas field workers have one heck of a commute. Today, we met some of those workers.
Transient mother
Most of the workers in Fort Nelson's Horn River area fly in from across B.C. or even Alberta. They'll spend two weeks in camps and then go home. Betsy Trumpener met one woman at the airport for her perspective.
The long and winding road
The Sierra Yoyo Desan is one of British Columbia's busiest resource roads. But for Lecricia Behn-Adin, navigating the white-knuckle ride is all in a day's work. She took Robert Doane along for the ride.
Meet the gas field workers
It's estimated that thousands of transient workers commute by plane and helicopter to the Fort Nelson region. Betsy Trumpener met just a few of them.
Residents ask for road upgrades
Even though the Sierra Yoyo Desan road is the main artery to Fort Nelson's oil and gas industry, it's still gravel and full of potholes. Following a recent fatality, there have been calls for upgrades. Daybreak met with Jim Leavitt, area manager for central interior first aid. He saw the accident's after-effects firsthand.

Northern school doesn't mean northern doctors
Seven years, 100 million dollars and five family practice doctors. Those are some of the numbers coming out of BC's ambitious northern medical program. Launched in 2004, the program runs on the idea that if doctors train in the north, they're more likely to stay here. And since the second class of doctors graduated in May this year, CBC wanted to find out if the program was getting positive results.

It is all part of the premier's job-creation program for British Columbians. But as it turns out, it will take more than jobs to export LNG. It takes a lot of energy to export energy.

Nation Education: Examining Aboriginal Education in British Columbia
For back to school, Daybreak North ran a special series on Aboriginal
education called "Nation Education." Here are all the segments from that
series:
Part 1:
Half of all aboriginal students won't graduate in B.C. But who's to blame: the student, the teacher, the parent or the system? For an answer, we get two different opinions. Paul Michel is director of First Nations studies at UNBC and a former principal of a First Nations independent school, and Peter Cowley is director of school performance studies at the Fraser Institute, and helps to author the Aboriginal Student report card.
Part 2:
Katie Hyslop is the Tyee Solutions Society's Education Reporter, and for part two of our series she told us about how Chief Atahm Immersion School on the Adams Lake reserve is putting Aboriginal culture and language first.
Part 3:
In Haida Gwaii, 75% of the students are Haida, but the curriculum only allows 10% local content. As we hear in this clip, Haida councils want more.
Part 4:
For the conclusion of our series, we reached out to those most affected by Aboriginal education issues: Aboriginal youth. Host Robert Doane speaks with three past and present students about their educational experience in northern B.C.
