Message from Dean Lucy Lee It is great to see the Faculty of Science (FoS) magazine continue despite the COVID-19 pandemic. My gratitude goes to Caroline Majeau, who despite her regular busy work as Administrative Assistant to the FoS has managed to update our original publication from 2020. I also extend my thanks and appreciation to all our new and continuing faculty and staff, that collaborated to make this happen. It is incredible how we survived these two years, with not only the pandemic to deal with but also the incredible heat wave and forest fires we had last summer, and the extraordinary flooding event that affected the lower Fraser Valley just this past fall term. I also want to acknowledge and admire the resilience of the original inhabitants of this beautiful valley, the Stó:lo or the ‘People of the River’, and their descendants, who have been the stewards of these lands and whom over several millenia, passed on their values and knowledge to survive and thrive despite adversity.

despite no growth on infrastructure, although the promise of expansion is still there. Our alumni are making us so proud as they venture into many areas and expand their horizons. Reflecting on these past 10 years, I am proud to say that we managed and came out stronger together, through hard economic times, unexpected weather events, and surviving a global pandemic. The FoS is healthy and growing, with steady student-registrations and graduation rates. We have hired many new personnel for various initiatives in education, research and community outreach, and some of these are highlighted in this issue. Agriculture Technology is the newest department joining the FoS, and as we finalize new hires, I hope we can feature all

As I now ponder retirement, I am proud to see how in the 10 years that I have been the Dean of Science at UFV, the FoS changed and grew for the better. We have seen departments move in and out of the Faculty, had several retirements, and many new hires. Our students are growing,

ISSUE #2 : MAY 2022

the new talent in a not-so-distant future issue. With the COVID-19 pandemic under control, and the world emerging into a post pandemic era, we also see new challenges and affronts to harmony and democracy occurring in many areas of the world. It is my hope that education and science will bring peace and civility, and that truth and justice will prevail. It is good

that we stay connected and that the little bits we do, will contribute to the greater good. I hope that this new issue of the FoS Magazine contributes to that connection to our local, regional and global community. Feel free to provide us with your feedback to Science@UFV.ca on this and future issues of our magazine. Thanks!

AISA DOBIE

UFV BSc Graduate 2020 Dean of Science Medal of Excellence Recipient

Aisa graduated from UFV with a Bachelor of Science in 2020. She received the Science Dean’s Medal of Excellence for her academic achievements in addition to her leadership and participation in University life at UFV. She was an active member in the Biology and Chemistry Student Association (BCSA), SLG Leader, student representative at Science Faculty Council, and co-founded the first Women in STEM club at UFV which is still going strong today. So what has she been doing since she left UFV? Well, she was accepted into Optometry School at the University of Waterloo in Ontario. She is currently in her second year. She is often reminded of all the ways she misses UFV. Her time here caused equal academic and personal growth, from attending her first Biology 101 lecture to developing lasting relationships.

“UFV was instrumental in fostering a community in which I could thrive.” She started her UFV degree in 2016, entering into the Science program wth a tunnel-visioned focus on academics. Through some of the foundational classes and joining clubs such as the BCSA, she met other students who shared the same ambitions she had, and they supported each other throughout their undergrad. One of those first friends she made is now her husband, Shayne Oberhoffner. He made the journey out east with her to pursue his PhD in Integrative Biology. While studying at UFV, she made the concerted effort to involve herself not only in the classes she was taking, attending professors’ office hours and

ISSUE #2 : MAY 2022

participating in discussions, but in the UFV community as well. Taking on the role as an SLG leader taught her a tremdous amount about leadership, responsibility, and the other areas of UFV that thrived outside of the Science community. In addition she served as the Science Student Representative on Science Faculty Council meetings which taught her the ongoings inside the University, and how these changes could directly affect students.

“All these opportunities allowed me to develop a deep appreciation for UFV as a community where the continued success of their students is a valued goal!” While she couldn’t get her complete academic closure with a normal convocation due to the pandemic, she says she’s actually glad that this chapter of her life has remained open. She will always feel part of the UFV community, whether it is as a student or alumni, she hopes that future students can share in the same sentiment.

“UFV has a community like no other and how I was so lucky to be a part of it!”

TANNER BOOS UFV BSc Graduate 2021 Governor General’s Silver Medal Recipient

~ Article written by Anne Russell, UFV Today, June 13, 2021 It was somewhat fitting, at least this year, that the decision of who receives the Governor General’s Silver Medal came down to numbers. This prestigious academic medal goes to the student graduating from a bachelor’s degree program at UFV with the highest gradepoint average. And for 2021, that status went to Tanner Boos, who is graduating with a Bachelor of Science with a math (honours) major and a physics minor. Boos graduated with a near-perfect 4.29 GPA. In fact, in his last 90 credits, he achieved a perfect 4.33 GPA. That’s quite a number. Boos loves mathematics and hopes to teach at the university or high school level. Boos always loved math and numbers but it took a few years working after finishing high school to make him realize what his vocational passion was. “I was working in the real estate industry and I realized that the thing I enjoyed the most about real estate was the mathematics involved,” he recalls. “I always had an aptitude for math but didn’t really apply myself until I started taking courses at UFV.” His first calculus professor was Greg Schlitt, a long-time faculty member who was a UFV student himself in the 1980s. “He talked to us about falling in love with calculus. I also love calculus, and have since high school,” recalls Boos. “So the way he taught really jived with me. What I liked so much about UFV is that I really got to know my profs and was so inspired by them, including math professors Greg Schlitt, Robin Endelman, and Ian Affleck, and Tim Cooper, who was an amazing physics professor. There were no 200-person lectures. It was all small classes.” 12

ISSUE #2 : MAY 2022

He attributes his success to a lot of hard work and enjoying his courses. Boos’s professors are happy to sing his praises. “Every so often I see a student in first-year calculus course who is clearly thirsty for more mathematics,” says Professor Greg Schlitt. “It’s not just a question of grades; many students work hard and excel, but are not necessarily thirsty for more. Tanner is such a student, one of an outstanding few I’ve seen over 30 years of teaching. I’m happy I was able to get some prerequisites waived for second-year courses and get him where he needed to be, as soon as possible. He did not disappoint. He has the manner and inclinations of a mathematician, and will represent UFV well in his future training and research.” Professor Robin Endelman was also impressed with Boos “Not only was Tanner an exceptional student with shining academic merit (he has received an award for Outstanding Achievement in every year of his studies), but also he was exceptionally generous with his varied involvement in extracurriculars and skill in helping others. He rallied students to take part in extra academic challenges such as the Putnam exam and annual Math Match events, and to take part in the Math Student Association through Discord, he worked to help other students, both as a monitor in our Math and Stats Centre and as an SLG leader, and he regularly volunteered to help new university students in Orientation, and to help local kids when we hosted regional math contests for middle school as well as high school. “Tanner clearly delights in exploring mathematical ideas, and has shown true generosity of spirit and exceptional leadership during his years here. Personally, in my 30+ year teaching career, I have not encountered another with more potential for, or more deserving of, success, and none who has touched as many people and as many facets of our community as Tanner.” Math also played a role in Boos’s work and play time. He worked in the UFV Math and Stats Centre as a student monitor, was a student leader of Supported Learning Groups, helping lower-level students through difficult first- and second-year courses. He also worked as a private tutor. Boos is also well known for his aptitude with a Rubik’s Cube. He can solve the puzzles within a minute, after researching techniques, memorizing patterns, and plenty of practice.

ANMOL SHARMA

UFV BSc Graduate 2021 Dean of Science Medal of Excellence Recipient

Anmol Sharma received the Faculty of Science Dean’s Medal for 2021. He exceeded the criteria with a GPA of 4.13, graduating from the Bachelor of Science degree with a Chemistry major and Biology minor. He has been top of his graduating class among chemistry majors and his diligence in his studies has placed him on the UFV Faculty of Science Dean’s list for seven out of his ten completed semesters. In addition to his excellent GPA, Anmol has also been doing active research in Dr. Linus Chiang’s research program in inorganic chemistry over the past three years. His excellent research has allowed him to present his work as a UFV representative at the institutional level (UFV Research Day), regional level (BC Inorganic Discussion weekend), national level (Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition in 2019 and 2021), and internationally (Global Inorganic Discussion Virtual Poster Competition). Notably, Anmol was awarded a top undergraduate poster prize at the 2019 national Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition, highlighting his outstanding research progress and presentation skills. Outside of the classroom and laboratory, he was heavily involved with UFV Campus Recreation where he had served as one of the organizers for the soccer intramural program since 2017. He and his co-organizers initiated the program from scratch and has now become one of the most popular activity on campus. “Anmol’s excellent overall academic record, particularly excelling in chemistry, persistence and resourcefulness as a researcher, and service to the university community makes him the perfect recipient of the 2021 Dean’s Medal in the Faculty of Science.” ~ Dr. Linus Chiang So what’s next for Anmol? His goal is to continue onto Medical School at the University of British Columbia.

DR. SHARON GILLIES Invasive plants and river carbon Japanese ‘Godzilla’ knotweed, rivers, and more

2021 interview with Chandy Dancey, UFV biology major/chemistry minor and staff writer, Arts Editor, and Managing Editor at The Cascade [https:// ufvcascade.ca/] Dr. Sharon Gillies is an associate professor of biology who’s been teaching at UFV for over 25 years. She completed her PhD in Plant Physiology at Simon Fraser University, going on to do post-doctoral research at the Agassiz Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre investigating postharvest physiology of fruits and vegetables. Her current research examines Japanese knotweed, which she dubs “Godzilla” for its abilities as an invasive shrub. Gillies is also a member of the Global Rivers Observatory network, which collects data on waterways to examine the role of rivers in transporting carbon. This semester, Gillies teaches BIO 310: Conservation Biology and BIO 410/GEOG 410: Plant Ecology. I noticed that student research seems to be something you’re passionate about. Is there a reason for that? It’s fun to let students explore different avenues. I think it strengthens your knowledge base and your ability to analyze if you would do at least one research course. For me, it doesn’t really matter what you do it in, just get the experience. I give students the option to work on microplastics. I had one student who’s growing radishes with microplastic she put in the soil because apparently plants can take it up. She’ll be sacrificing [the radishes] next week. That’s our kind way of saying the radishes are getting cooked. I saw that a lot of your work in research focuses on invasive plants, so I was curious — why did you decide to focus on Japanese knotweed specifically? It was probably about 15 years ago. I spotted this plant across the street from UFV, and I went “what the heck is that?” I hadn’t seen it before, but that year as I was doing field trips with students I saw it at the top of Seymour mountain. I started noticing it everywhere. And this was before people recognized it was a huge problem. So I found out what it was and started going, “okay, we have to map this — find out where it is.” So, that’s how it started. I read one paper in North America where it said, “it appears they’re producing seeds that may germinate.” It’s a huge problem in England, and it doesn’t produce viable seed because it was a female clone that they brought in. Turns out that in North America, and in parts of Europe, it’s hybridizing with another invasive knotweed — giant knotweed — and the seed is viable. 16

ISSUE #2 : MAY 2022

You mentioned that it’s hybridizing with giant knotweed. When you say a lot of hybrids, does that mean a lot of germinating baby plants? Yes, baby plants, and each one of those is genetically unique because you have two different parents from different species. Then we found out that they do a lot of epigenetics as well, so some of them are tolerant to glyphosate, some are tolerant to salt. And that’s all epigenetics. It’s an amazing plant. Are there any ways you recommend that students can help prevent the spread of invasive plants? Absolutely. If you see it on your property, remove it quickly. That’s absolutely the easiest way to get rid of any of these — from purple loosestrife, Japanese knotweed, to giant hogweed. I mean some of them are beautiful, and that’s why they were brought in. Because, hey, look at how pretty it is — but they take over. Just remove it, get rid of it, don’t compost it. Just [put it in the] garbage. I saw the recent article — congrats by the way — on becoming CHASI’s faculty associate. When I was reading the description for CHASI, it almost seemed vague. Could you explain what CHASI’s goal is? I think it’s to form a community of faculty and other people interested in research and promoting collaborative work. I mean, they really are so collaborative; it’s amazing. It doesn’t matter what field you’re in. If you have a project and you think they might be able to help, and they probably can, they will jump in. So yeah, it is vague. Because it’s this whole group of helpful, fabulous people. I don’t think you can define it. I was reading about you working with larger organizations to measure water quality. Could you explain the importance of the transportation of carbon to the ocean? One is that there’s organic carbon which is nutrients from the land travelling to the ocean … We want to look at carbon balance. If you think about what’s going on with our mountain pine beetle and plant death — is there a big flush of carbon coming through because of these trees dying? And it kind of gives us a handle on what is the importance of the movement of carbon in rivers overall for the planet because we actually have people working on about up to 14 rivers — everything from the Amazon to the Ganges … What is the comparison? Can we see changes over time? What’s happening in our rivers and how does that relate to the carbon cycle? Which, of course, with climate change is important. Is that project still in the data collection phase, or is there any insight you’ve gained so far? For the carbon part of it, they’re still in the data collection … Some of the data is published, but we haven’t started doing the comparisons yet. The fun has yet to come. Oh, yeah. And, you know, as we collect more data over time — what sort of trends are we looking at? Snapshots are snapshots. To me, in ecology, a lot of the important stuff is long term. 17

Faculty of Science explores the beautiful traditional Sto:lo territory with Naxaxalhts’i

~ Article written by Caroline Majeau, UFV Science Blog, October 13, 2021

In the Fall of 2021 the staff and faculty from the Faculty of Science had the pleasure of spending the day with Naxaxalhts’i, also known as Albert (Sonny) McHalsie, and explored the cultural landscape of the beautiful Stó:lō territory. He narrated the land – telling the Sxowxiyám and Swelqwels, the legends and the true stories, that gave shape to the Stó:lō culture, history and people. The group enjoyed the majestic mountains and waterways of the Upper Fraser Valley. The “Bad Rock” Place Names tour departed from Chilliwack and traveled towards the scenic Fraser Canyon above historic Yale, BC. They learned about the unique relationship between the Stó:lō, “the River People”, their land and their environment. Naxaxalhts’i is a Cultural Advisor and Stó:lō Historian for the Stó:lō Research and Resource Management Centre. Photo credits: Darren McDonald, University Relations Communications Specialist 18

Beyond the honeybee:

an introduction to native pollinators and their threats ~ Article written by Gerald Narcisco, UFV Today, October 31, 2021

Dr. Sandra Gillespie’s lineage explains plenty. Growing up in the Fraser Valley in a family of biologists, she developed an affinity for the outdoors and all of the species that inhabit it. “My interest in the natural world started naturally from being around adults that encouraged observation and curiosity,” says Gillespie, an assistant biology professor at UFV whose father Dave was an entomologist and whose mother Beth taught biology at UFV for many years. While her upbringing exploring the vast range of ecosystems in B.C. directly contributed to an eventual career in academia and biology, it wasn’t the catalyst for choosing bees as her area of focus. It was her professor and mentor at Simon Fraser University, Dr. Elizabeth Elle, who drove her to the yellow and black insect. “Dr. Elle studied pollinators,” she says. “That was the turning point where I became more interested in understanding bees.” After completing her PhD at the University of Massachusetts, she has continued to conduct research that focuses on pollination ecology. Bumblebees, she says, are particularly widespread and fascinating pollinator species. A faculty member at UFV since 2017, Gillespie works with students to study the diversity and health of both local bumblebee populations and other wild pollinators. She has two focuses in her research: She works on pollination issues in agriculture, recently wrapping up a project looking at pollination in cranberry crops in the Fraser Valley; and she also studies the health and diversity of wild bumblebee populations.

ISSUE #2 : MAY 2022

“With the help of UFV students, we are studying the pathogens that infect native bees in parks in the Fraser Valley,” she adds. Gillespie shared some of her research findings as part of the Science Talks virtual series on November 2 where she presented Beyond the honeybee: an introduction to native pollinators and their threats. There has been a drastic decline in the bumblebee species over the past decade. Pathogens and parasites may have contributed to the decline. Here in the Fraser Valley, bumblebees are crucial pollinators for several high-value crops. In her Science Talks, Gillespie hopes to educate people about the diversity of bees, their importance as pollinators, and what the general public can do to help. “I find that the general public knows that bees are in decline and that this is a concern,” says Gillespie. “But people generally know quite a lot about honeybees, but less about the amazing diversity of native pollinators and what can be done to conserve them.” Going forward, Gillespie is planning to continue monitoring bumblebee populations in local parks. She notes that pollinators, particularly bumblebees, are facing a number of changing pressures in the Fraser Valley related to land-use change, climate change, and invasive species. “I hope to gather data that will help mitigate those impacts,” she says. “I’m also planning on continuing my work on pollination in agricultural systems to help farmers manage pollination issues in their crops.” You can watch Sandra’s talk on the ScienceTalks YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN56n561Yj4

Remote Learning - Turning a Challenge into an Adventure! Submitted to UFV At Work Blog January 2021: Shawn Johnston, Former Director, Labour Relations, Human Resources As a parent of two kids (ages 7 and 9) the move to remote learning in March created many challenges, top among them keeping my kids busy, active, and engaged. The move to remote teaching also created unique challenges for UFV faculty (and all educators), often quite different for each discipline. This is a story about how a UFV professor and two kids helped each other out in this difficult time. I first met Alan Reid, Associate Professor, Biology, after parking my car in lot 6b one morning, when I asked what he was looking at so intently. It turned out that he was studying some Dogwood (Cornaceae) plants and I was quickly introduced to the inspiring educational approach that I now know Alan is renowned for. As we occasionally ran into each other on campus we talked about plants (and mushrooms), and I took what he taught me home and passed on the knowledge to my kids (they are big lovers of the outdoors). When the kids and I couldn’t figure something out (like the time we found what turned out to be a cool “witch’s broom” way up in a Fir tree), my kids would say, “email Alan”. Reliably, Alan had the answer and was excited by what we’d found. It was one of these “email Alan” moments that got things going. We’d started exploring the Riverview lands on our dog walks, and emailed Alan to ask some question. It turned out that he knew all about the Riverview lands. He taught us that we were exploring western Canada’s oldest botanical garden, and he provided us with a link to an online interactive map of the garden’s trees. And that is how our partnership started. I don’t recall whose idea it was, but my kids loved learning about the trees, and Alan needed some photos for his, now online, biology courses. So, Alan would send us the identification numbers of some trees, and my kids would find them on the map, navigate to them, take photos (full tree, bark, foliage, cones, etc.), and we’d send them to Alan; repeat. It turned our dog walks into exciting educational adventures.

ISSUE #2 : MAY 2022

Alan encouraged my kids and their learning, and dropped tidbits of interesting knowledge on them in his reply emails. I understand that Alan has been able to incorporate some of these photos into his lectures, giving his little photographers (or as he calls them “Assistant Professors”) credit. I owe a big thanks to Alan for this. It’s not everyday that two elementary school kids get to participate in a biology project with a Ph.D. biologist, and further at a time when they desperately needed the interaction, stimulation, and adventure. But what I’ll always be most thankful to Alan for is that he always made my kids feel like they were the ones helping him.

Shakespeare Garden returns to UFV

~ Article written by Caroline Majeau, UFV Science Blog, August 4, 2021 On July 16, 2021 dozens gathered for the unveiling of UFV’s new Shakespeare Reconciliation Garden. This garden revives and reimagines UFV’s former Shakespeare Garden that was located at the Chilliwack North Campus. It was shut down in 2012 following the completion of the new campus on the south side of Chilliwack. Interdisciplinary Studies 300 (IDS 300) took up the challenge of designing the new Shakespeare Garden. IDS 300 is an intersection of multiple academic disciplines, including Biology, English, Indigenous Studies, and others, with different topics being covered each semester. Biology Professor, Dr. Alan Reid, helped design the IDS 300 course and said the garden will continue to be a work in progress. The new garden features indigenous plants as well as cultivars from other parts of the world, growing together in S’ólh Téméxw (the name for the territory of the Stó:lō people. In English, it can be translated as ‘our world’ or ‘our land’). Some of the plants are there because they are mentioned in Shakespeare’s plays. Others are there because they have significance in Stó:lō culture. Still to come are plant signs that will identify the plants in English, Halq’emeylem (where available), and Latin binomial nomenclature. Dr. Alan Reid, Biology Professor and Shirley Hardman, Senior Advisor on Indigenous Affairs

ISSUE #2 : MAY 2022

The garden aims to create a space of beauty, healing, and contemplation – a space for quiet enjoyment and a space to reflect on reconciliation, particularly between Settler Canada and Indigenous Peoples, but also more broadly, to include the everyday ways that we acknowledge past wrongs, stop, and make amends. The garden is a symbolic act of reconciliation that “keeps living” the former Shakespeare garden in a new, evolving form that connects to and honours the past, and also aims to celebrate creativity and provide a healing and reflective space. It is hoped that the garden will provide an outdoor educational space where students, faculty, and staff can learn about the plants and related stories, as appropriate, and that the garden will be a space of healing and beauty.

After escaping flood, agriculture student works long days to save cows during flood ~ Article written by Anne Russell, UFV Today, November 26, 2021 Monica Allemeersch is used to ferrying her kids around to afterschool activities, but on November 15 they went for the commute of a lifetime, fleeing from the flood zone in her truck. Along for the ride was Monica’s mother-in-law, who was scheduled for hip surgery the next day. All of them were escaping from rising waters after the Nooksack River in Washington State rose rapidly after extremely heavy rains and flooded adjacent Sumas Prairie in Abbotsford. The second-year UFV horticulture student lives in a farmhouse at Vye and McDermott Road in Abbotsford; her brother-in-law’s farm is right over the dike from them on the same property. It was her family’s side of the dike that had started to flood first as the water moved in over the U.S. border, and on that fateful Monday she kept her two sons home from elementary school as a precaution. “By evening I was getting pretty stressed and we decided we needed to get my boys, my three dogs, and my motherin-law out of there,” she recalls. “With my friend’s help we drove through about five feet of water just to get out of my driveway.” Her husband Jarret, who works in the dairy industry for Vyefield Farms, was busy helping farmers cope with the flooding. Monica got stuck at Whatcom Road and was in distress. A stranger offered to take her family across the rushing water in his larger truck and family members were there to meet them on the other side of the flood. With the kids safe at her sister’s house, she returned to Sumas Prairie to help evacuate cows on Tuesday, November 16. She also briefly visited her home, finding to her dismay that her basement had been flooded in four feet of water. She had some warning about the dreary situation. The hired man on the family farm had sent photos to prepare them. Many farms were trying to get their cows to safety on Tuesday morning. Monica continued to work with farms to evacuate more cows. “We hooked them up to cattle trailers being towed by a large tractor. Once we got them to high ground we transferred them to other trailers for transfer to farms outside the flood zone.” For part of the day, they felt like things were going okay. “The water wasn’t over our gumboots.” But as the day wore on and darkness approached, they got more fearful.

ISSUE #2 : MAY 2022

“We were in the thick of it. It was getting dark and we were worried the water was rising. We didn’t expect it to get that high. We were all scared as the dikes began to give way. But we had to get the cows out. They were standing in flood water and they needed to get milked. It was worse for the farmers further in on the prairie.” Things got dire Tuesday evening. There were real fears that the Barrowtown pump station, which pumps water from the prairie into the Fraser River, would fail, and waters were rising rapidly. The City of Abbotsford issued a strong statement in the early evening stating that conditions had escalated and posed a significant risk to life and that any farmers still fighting to save their livestock needed to leave immediately. After ensuring that some calves were fed — their final chore on a long day, Monica and her husband Jarret headed up the hill to her sister’s house to be reunited with their sons. As her family home was on the edge of the crisis area, Monica and Jarret were able to return on the weekend to begin the cleanup process. They weren’t as hard hit as others, but the flooding in the basement did destroy her kids’ toys and all her notes from her first year of UFV horticulture studies. “I may be asking some of my classmates if I can scan their notes.” She’s happy her family is safe and that they will be able to return to live in their home. Things remain uncertain for many other Sumas Prairie farm families. But what struck her the most was how the community worked together during the worst of flooding, and continues to do so in the aftermath. And many people reached out to see if they were okay. “It’s nice to see everyone coming together to help. It’s been amazing. Some neighbours organized a church crew to get out stuff out of the basement, and then a rugby team came to help us rip out the drywall. We also had help from family and friends.” One thing she was not thinking about during the crisis were her horticulture studies. So she’s grateful that UFV suspended classes from Nov 16-20 and went to a remote model for Nov 21-28. She was also offered a compassionate leave, meaning that she would only be graded on the work she completed before the flood crisis. She is taking UFV up on that offer for her berry production class, but has decided to continue ahead with her enterprise class, where students are challenged to create a business plan for an agriculture business. Her dream business? It’s about as far from the flooded-prairie nightmare as you could get. She’d like to open a wellness greenhouse, offering yoga and other healing activities in a plant-filled space, where people could take classes and buy plants. For now, she’s concentrating on getting her house back in order, caring for her family, and helping her neighbours. “We are very grateful for all the help we have received and been offered.”

Science Outreach Children of today are the scientists of tomorrow. To foster the love of learning and science in the next generation, the Faculty of Science supports fun and engaging science programming, targeted at elementary, middle and high school students. In 2020 the pandemic forced us to put many of our outreach projects on hiatus. As things began to open, we found ways to get our outreach activities back on course. We were able to host Science Rocks! Days. These one-day events were packed full of our most enjoyed science activities from our week-long Science Rocks! Summer Camps. UFV Science undergrads, Rhien Hare and Annabelle Czihaly, spent their summer creating eight amazing day programs. We kicked off our first camp in October and offered the others throughout the fall and winter. Registration for our summer camps is now open. We would like to thank the generous grants that we have received from our sponsors: the Abbotsford Community Foundation Smart and Caring Community Grant and the Canadian Mathematical Society Math Camp Grant. As opportunities open up, our other science outreach programs cautiously planned for in-person events. The Fraser Valley Regional Science Fair was back in-person in April and welcomed 89 students from grades K-12 from across the Fraser Valley to compete for prizes and the chance to advance to the Canada Wide Science Fair. The BC Secondary Schools Math Contest welcomed 62 students from across the Fraser Valley to have fun stretching themselves a little mathematically. Our Super Science Club is busier than ever! Our team of UFV Science students are back providing kids from grades 1-6 with some engaging after school STEM experiences!
