Claudia Grill

Claudia Grill has always been fascinated by the North; cold winters, tundra & boreal forest. To learn about northern life, she first arrived in Churchill from Austria in 2010, only planning to spend one year to complete her PhD. She quickly fell in love with the breathtaking landscapes and resilient people who lived there; she knew she needed to stay. Over 10 years later, she is grateful to have now immigrated to Treaty 5 territory, the land of Cree, Dene, Inuit & Metis. She is often exploring the land & water by snowshoe & boat and enjoys the variety of sub-arctic plants & wildlife who also live there. Her respect for nature fuels her passion for living more mindfully. In particular, she became motivated to use locally available resources to create her own cosmetics & soaps. She created Frozen Shore Botanicals, a line of soaps, balms & bath salts. Her products are inspired by plants of the tundra & boreal forest and are carefully handcrafted in very small batches. She also offers workshops for small groups. Claudia is a founding member of the CCC and a strong advocate for community empowerment. She works to create opportunities & skills development for Churchill, where she now happily resides with her partner and 3 cats. She enjoys cooking, baking, yoga, reading & sharing her energy by caring for her friends’ dogs.
