Experimental Lakes Area working with First Nations on aquaculture project
Can First Nations establish a sustainable wild rice enterprise in northwestern Ontario? That’s what a new research project at the IISD Experimental Lakes Area hopes to find out.
The project is being conducted by the IISD-ELA in partnership with the Myera Group, Lakehead University, Eagle Lake First Nation, and two additional First Nations from the Treaty 3 area. “This critical funding from NOHFC will allow us to do what we do best: work with scientists, local communities, industry and Indigenous partners to better understand and improve the health and use of freshwater supplies and build the economy sustainably,” said Matthew McCandless, executive director of the IISD Experimental Lakes Area, in the news release.
