ÂÜÀòÉäÇø

Thanks to funding through Mitacs, three ÂÜÀòÉäÇø students will be travelling internationally to work on research projects with expert faculty.

Dr. Taru Manyanga with the UBC Master of Physical Therapy – North program at ÂÜÀòÉäÇø is bringing together youth and other key partners to develop interventions for youth physical activity engagement across northern B.C.

Rivers and streams in British Columbia were hit hard twice in 2021, first by a heat dome and then by atmospheric rivers. Prior to the weather events, ÂÜÀòÉäÇø researchers installed temperature sensors in waterways across northern B.C. In a new paper, they analyze the data to determine the impact of the extreme weather.

Researchers at ÂÜÀòÉäÇø, Thompson Rivers University and the the University of British Columbia's Okanagan campus are collaborating to tackle some of the region's most pressing issues. A renewal of the Interior Universities Research Coalition will ensure this important research continues.

Three ÂÜÀòÉäÇø students won awards for their presentations and posters at the Western Division of the Canadian Association of Geographers Symposium in Kelowna in March.

Join ÂÜÀòÉäÇø's Water and Sanitation Holistic Technologies (WASH-T) Research group for a conversation on off-grid solutions to water and sanitation challenges in small and rural communities.

From studying the impact of glyphosate-based herbicides on the ecosystem, to better understanding income inequality to a renewed Canada Research Chair in Humanities and Health Inequities, ÂÜÀòÉäÇø researchers are fostering local solutions for a global impact.

In her next phase as a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair, Dr. de Leeuw will focus on internationalizing her work in arts-based health research and further examine how this area of study can help improve patient care and address healthcare disparities.

The Centre for Technology Adoption for Aging in the North will utilize its connections across the region to introduce and validate innovative new technologies in healthcare aimed at advancing patient outcomes and equity in treatment.
