What's New?
"Water...A Mixed Solution" is a workshop which will take place in St. John's on Wednesday November 18, 2009. The workshop is co-hosted by the Harris Centre; and MITACS- a national research network that connects university researchers with organizations to solve real-world issues; in partnership with the Newfoundland and Labrador Environmental Industry Association. The aim is to bring together key players to talk abotu such issues as decaying rural infrastructure, water treatment and community health, and dwindling human resources to manage complicated systems.
This event kicks off a 10-year program through the Harris Centre which was established through a historic donation from the RBC Foundation. The funding will enable Memorial University researchers to work with rural communities in Newfoundland and Labrador on issues related to drinking water.
