Back to business at BC CAHS.

It's been a busy few weeks for our team. We are happy to announce that BC CAHS resumes operations at new location.

A short documentary on the historical importance of salmon to the #CampbellRiver area. Our lab is featured in this as well. Well done @eikojnz and @kimisles https://youtu.be/XUr8esiBCzw

It has been just over a week since two fires above our facility left our lab with significant water and smoke damage. Our team hit the ground running, meeting the morning after the fires ready to brainstorm and produce solutions. We are making great strides in recovering our equipment and relocating. We want to thank our community for the continued support in these difficult times and we look forward to seeing you all again in the near future. We will continue to update as we have more news to share! Below is our team meeting up at the Discovery Passage Aquarium's Explorer Lab. Thank you very much DPA for sharing your space with us during this difficult time!

BC CAHS closed until further notice

We can't wait!!!
