Outreach Network

Connecting education

Outreach network facilities will highlight significant cultural heritage, ecological, and restoration characteristics. They will enable field trips from the Environmental Centre and support information flow back to the central facility.

Connecting collaboration

In keeping with our inclusive nature, network facilities will incorporate a wide range of stakeholder groups. They will includes First Nations, school-ago youth, not-for-profits, post secondary institutions, local citizens, artists and tourism as appropriate. Some network facilities will play an integral part in thriving waterfront marketplaces, while others may be more remote and focused on research and ecological or heritage tourism. In most cases, we expect that network sites will develop in partnership with complimentary initiatives that are already active in a given locale, and provide significant benefits to community and economic development.

Hatcheries, freshwater and intertidal habitat restoration sites, fish population and pollution monitoring or remediation are prominent examples of hands-on programs that network sites can promote and showcase. The simple act of linking these like-minded organizations into a network will help to make them very visible and marketable to
