Eli Chilton

I work and live in Moose Factory Ontario with my family. I was born and raised here in the James Bay area and lived here most of my life. I have worked here at our local radio station, CJFI 107.1 The Island Youth Radio since 2013, as a radio DJ and producer. Along with my radio duties, I also work at the youth center as a youth worker, helping with events and daily duties of the center. I have been an amateur writer most of my life, writing plays, screenplays, poetry, and short stories. In regard to my poetry, I have had two poems published in the Poetry Institute of Canada’s publication in 2010 and 2011. I also had a live reading with Pat The Dog Theatre at their festival Playsmelter in 2017. Living in the far north, I have been an outdoorsman in some capacity my whole life. Hunting and fishing with my family throughout my life, but also, hiking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing around the area of Moose Factory and Moosonee.
