After two years of making do without a hairdresser, the isolated northern Canadian town of Norman Wells in the Northwest Territories – population 800 – is going public with their plight in the hope of attracting a coiffeur.

Over the decades, several hairdressers have come and gone from Norman Wells, leaving behind a workspace in a local inn outfitted with chairs, mirrors and a sink.

He looked at historical temperature data and concluded Norman Wells could grow about 0.2 degrees warmer every year.

After presenting his findings, he remembered, one engineer said: “Look, all I want to know is: Tell me what impact this is going to have on permafrost in Norman Wells and our pipelines.”

"The more that schools take responsibility to themselves for these areas, the less that parents will see them as their responsibility," said director Norman Wells.
