This priest-missionary left his native France in 1946 to serve Canada's North. Since then, he has devoted himself unstintingly to the Inuit population as an educator, advisor and friend. Radio station CFCT of Tuktoyaktuk, which he founded and for which he is the main on-air personality, is at the heart of his efforts to preserve and promote this Aboriginal culture.
