PEI PSE, Abegweit First Nation, conservation areas partner on watershed management centre

A group of partners including Holland College, Abegweit First Nation, and the University of Prince Edward Island are creating the John and Christine Andrew Centre of Excellence in Watershed Management. The centre will be used to study the province’s water system and the potential effects of changes to it over time. Located on land gifted to the college by the Andrew family, the centre and surrounding property are being renovated to create offices, housing for visiting researchers and labs, and more. The centre will seek to fulfill a variety of objectives, including supporting student learning and enabling more research of PEI’s water system. The centre will pursue its objectives through a First Nations lens.
