The Yellowknife Health Effects Monitoring Program (YKHEMP) addresses the long-term impacts of arsenic exposure in communities affected by the Giant Mine.

My role was to develop communication materials that made complex health science understandable, trustworthy, and accessible to local residents. This included designing the foundational website structure for ykhemp.ca, producing a public information booklet, and creating brochures that translated technical findings into visuals the community could easily engage with (illustrations by Alison McCreesh, link below).

The materials covered everything from reference levels to environmental timelines. The result: approachable, credible, and culturally grounded resources that ensure critical health information reaches the people it was intended to serve.
