Situated in one of Canada’s coldest and most geographically isolated regions, the area encompassed by the Diocese of MacKenzie-Fort Smith in the Northwest Territories is a nature lover’s dream.
Bishop Jon Hansen has been capturing that beauty with his photographic lens for the past five years he’s been living in the territory. A selection of those images has been curated into Missions in this Northern Land, a 2021 calendar raising funds for Catholic Missions In Canada (CMIC) and helping to engender hope in this winter season where many find themselves in isolation.
