142 deaths due to exposure !

 According to the coroner's office, hypothermia killed 142 persons between 2015 and 2021.  21 of those deaths occured in first peoples' communities.  Ancestral knowledge about how to build an igloo and survive a severe storm is being lost.  Alcohol is present in three quarters of the cases.  63 of the 142 deaths occured to people 70 years or more.
