Holland College to create watershed management centre

Holland College is creating the John and Christine Andrew Centre of Excellence in Watershed Management 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 will mainly be used by four of the college’s programs: Wildlife Conservation Technology, Environmental Applied Science Technology, Data Analytics, and Bioscience Technology. The centre will have six core objectives, which will be examined through a First Nations lens. The centre currently has several partners including the University of Prince Edward Island and Abegweit First Nation, and the college is seeking additional funding through the federal government.
