The Village of Bamfield itself is an instrumental part of the British Columbia history, having served at various times as a key trans-Pacific cable terminus, fishing village, start/end point for the West Coast Trail, research marine station, and eco-tourist destination.
The course aims to enhance students’ understanding of the social, cultural, political, economic, and recreational significance of coastal eco-places for local communities.
Participants are invited to apply for academic credit, or for non-credit professional development.
