Come visit the Boreal Wetland Centre to explore industry demonstrations, collect data for community science projects, and learn about wetlands. 

Demonstrations

The Boreal Wetland Centre is unique in boreal Canada by providing a central demonstration location where industries can provide on-the-ground examples of innovative solutions, demonstrating avoidance and minimization practices, testing out new ideas, and educating visitors about critical habitat and environmental stewardship. 

Demonstrations facilitate information sharing and provide opportunities for knowledge exchange among diverse user groups including Indigenous rights holders, industry, research academia, K-12 education, and the public-at-large.
