Yellowknife Choral Society

Shauna Morgan

Shauna Morgan came up to Yellowknife in November 2008 on a short-term contract, fell in love with the place, and has decided to make the north her home. Born and raised near Barrie, Ontario, Shauna began studying piano at the age of 7 and went on to accompany her high school and university concert choirs. She studied International Development at the University of Toronto and then International Affairs/Conflict Analysis at Carleton University in Ottawa, focusing on negotiations between mineral exploration companies and Aboriginal communities in Canada. Shauna is now employed at Crosscurrent Associates, working with Aboriginal communities on consultation and environmental monitoring initiatives.
