Each summer we apply for (and have been lucky enough to get funding from Canada Summer Jobs for a number of interns. Unfortunately, the jobs are only for 8 weeks so we have 2 cohorts of interns each summer. Our amazing interns help us to conduct research, analyse data, create illustrations, write articles and reports and create social media posts – and even this very newsletter!

We thank Kainat, Bella and Elise for their wonderful work earlier this summer and welcome back Isabella Lau and Emily Onyshko and welcome Cindy Fang (working all the way from Vancouver) for the later half of the summer.
