Homespun pond hockey thaws the heart of the NWT

It doesn't have to be the NHL or the PWHL. This photo story is proof Canadians just love plain old hockey.

Pond hockey is alive and well in northern Canada, where the town of Hay River, NWT, teams up to host the annual Polar Pond Hockey Tournament as a last hurrah for winter.

NWT-based photographer Thorsten Gohl documented the weekend for our Underexposed series, which is spotlighting the less-known parts of Canada that make this country great. Here's a gift link to read it for free without a paywall.

Globe and Mail request to speak with those affected by scams targeting elderly people

Hello! This post has been approved by the moderators.

My name is Rebecca, and I'm in charge of the audience team at The Globe and Mail. A trio of reporters at our publication (Robyn Doolittle, Mariya Postelnyak and Meera Raman) are starting an investigative project that’s going to look at scams that target the elderly.

These types of frauds are on the rise and they’re only getting worse with AI. If you are someone who has been impacted by this crime — maybe you were personally victimized or maybe a loved one was ensnared — we want to hear from you.

We’d also love to hear from people who work in this space - maybe through fraud detection, cyber security or policing. We’ve set up a special email address for this project: ElderFraud@globeandmail.com.

Reaching out does not mean you need to be named. This is something that will be discussed during an interview with a reporter and you’re in the driver’s seat. Hope to hear from you and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Thank you all very much.

-Rebecca
