Biographie:
Chabot was born and raised on Moose Factory Island. Over the years he developed an interest in natural phenomena. Listening to the stories of local elders whom he would occasionally meet out on the land inspired a respect for the type of knowledge that can only be gained from being close to nature. Chabot left the Island in his teens but returned as an adult to work. Some of his professional musings have involved flood-related projects. Between 2014 and 2020 Chabot collaborated on the development of a flood forecast tool and subsequent flood plain maps. As a result of his experiences, Chabot became a self-professed 'break-up junky'. These experiences and an interest in history led him to delve into archives and turn over the rocks of time to see what lay beneath. What he found is flushed out in the story of 1894: The Deeper Story of Moose Factory's Great Flood.
