I’ve been a Research Assistant for MABRRI since May of 2019, and throughout this entire time I have been working on the same awesome project with the same awesome team. Also, throughout this time, I finished my degree in Sociology, took a year off to work, and am now a first-year student in VIU's Master of Community Planning Program. However, this project with MABRRI is coming to an end, and it is bittersweet. My team and I have created the first community profile for the Mount Arrowsmith Biosphere Region, and with the help of our designer Claire Stewart, it looks remarkable. |
