A new boreal laboratory classroom and research complex has been added to an educational facility at the north end of Candle Lake. The camp has been running for 50 years, providing hands-on learning for students and researchers.
It’s a partnership between Saskatchewan Polytechnic and the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation. Thanks to funding from the federal government, the camp will be able to house more education and training opportunities at the Hannin Creek Education and Applied Research Centre. It’s the only boreal forest field station in the province and gives the opportunity to study forestry, fisheries, wildlife, conservation law, and environmental, civil and water resources engineering technology.
