The Ecology group will be holding a research 'permits' workshop on Wednesday 07 February from 2-4PM in STC 1019. This workshop will provide an opportunity to hear from fellow students, faculty, and staff about applying for permits. For example, we will have members present with experience writing permits for federal and provincial research, including research in parks and protected areas, University Animal Care, and Safety Office. Come with your questions or advice, because we hope to hear from everyone present!
