Comme les microbrasseries, les microdistilleries se sont multipliées de façon spectaculaire au cours des dernières années. Aux États-Unis, leur nombre est passé de 50 à 700 en moins de 10 ans.

At the Inuulitsivik Health Centre, where she is chief of medicine, Dr. Auclair oversees the scheduling for physicians in three remote Inuit communities clustered along the shores of Hudson Bay: Puvirnituq, Inukjuak and Salluit.
She also recruits new doctors who, like her, have travelled thousands of kilometres to practise medicine in the Canadian North. Its a balancing act.
