Community-Based Environmental Monitoring

The Environmental Monitoring program will provide environmental monitoring training through a holistic approach that reflects Indigenous perspectives and worldviews. The curriculum integrates Indigenous knowledge with western science focusing on monitoring land, water, air, and wildlife across the four seasons of the year. Indigenous Elders and senior land users will co-teach all aspects of the program alongside western scientists. The program is geared towards preparing students (Keepers of the Land) for employment in the environmental monitoring field and/or for pursuing further education in an environmental area.
