Peter Aningmiuq Gilhuly, a Nunavut Agreement Beneficiary, is a first-year Bachelor of Arts in Psychology student at Vancouver Island University. As a mature student and Red-Seal carpenter, Peter brings lived experience as an Indigenous tradesperson to this project. Working across Canada from coast to coast and as far as the world’s northernmost inhabited settlement, these journeys have shaped his deep commitment to mental health and addictions recovery, guiding him to pursue academic studies. Peter now aims to become certified to support other Indigenous men on their healing journeys, prioritizing community voices and cultural relevance in future mental healthcare solutions.
