Jason Lui in ETEC 521

It is very difficult to find an article relating ecological issues with Indigenous technology.  But alas, I have found one that resides in a story about the $10.6 million, 4,200 sq.-metre Aquatic Ecosystems Research Laboratory (AERL) opened on the UBC campus on March 10, 2006.

Still being a UBC student at the present moment, I am glad that there is this new state-of-the-art research facility to help international decision-makers address, research, and discuss global environmental matters.

More importantly, it directly relates to ETEC 521 because the AERL culminates governments, non-governmental organizations, scientists, and Aboriginal and industry partners to address global environmental concerns.

Furthermore, the BC Aboriginal Fisheries Commission is a significant partner in this ecological research project with UBC – which shows that the Aboriginal community in BC has a voice in not just fisheries but also in technology.
