Five research teams, two based at UVic, receive $180,000 each from the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions’ Opportunity Project Program.
A $1-million, four-year research project funded by the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions centres what rural, remote and Indigenous communities need to flourish despite
climate challenges.
Growing up, Liam Sprangers spent long hours building tree houses out of scrap lumber, erecting makeshift bike ramps and designing bridges to span nearby creeks. Sprangers says he
was drawn to study civil engineering by the prospect of being able to work in the construction industry.
