Excerpt from article

A unique system of satellite-tracking cameras designed, built and operated by a Canadian team has produced the first full year of satellite tracking data over Canada. One station alone – located in Eureka, Nvt., in the Canadian High Arctic – has now provided a full winter season of data with more than tens of millions of individual satellite observations over the North Pole.

This initiative, a collaboration between Western and Defence Research and Development Canada, has adapted technology and tools originally developed at Western for detecting meteors to efficiently monitor satellites over Canada, and by extension North America, using very low-cost cameras.

The system, now operating and deployed at four sites across Canada, including Eureka, is producing the first continuous satellite monitoring by Canadians, for Canadians of all space objects flying over the country. The Nunavut location has demonstrated the unique capability to track sun-synchronous space objects within orbital “choke points” only visible from Canada’s far north, or Antarctica.

Blimey I’d have expected that sort of satellite activity at lower latitudes, but you’re a whisker below 80°N and still the sky is absolutely filled with them.
