In 2019, with support from the RBC Foundation, Pollution Probe and the Council of the Great Lakes Region launched an ambitious project aimed at finding ways to leverage the power of Big Data, data science, AI and smart computing to support watershed management and protect the health of the precious and vital Great Lakes ecosystem. Thanks to continued support from RBC through #TechForNature, the project has progressed in leaps and bounds.
