Four top proposals have been selected in the 2021 Climate Solutions Challenge, a campus-wide contest for actionable climate ideas. The Challenge is an initiative of the Climate
Solutions Navigator with support from the Strategic Framework Impact Fund.
Six UVic students – representing three faculties – participated in an international competition that required teams to design a way to predict and monitor COVID-19 and other
outbreaks.
Three researchers known for their passion and commitment to some of the most significant issues facing the country and the planet have been named to the Royal Society of Canada
(RSC) College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists.
As a child, Mary Kerr (theatre) spent many hours at her mother's Winnipeg dance studio watching the magic of the stage. "They had footlights where we put the shows on, and I used
to sit in the audience at the end of the evening and look at the empty stage. It was my mother who taught me all the worlds that could be created there."
Peter Baskerville, a professor emeritus in the Department of History, and Pat Martin Bates, professor emerita with the Faculty of Fine Arts, are the university’s newest fellows of
the Royal Society of Canada (RSC). The distinction is considered Canada’s highest academic honour.
