Congratulations to the incredible team at Uu-a-thluk on this well-deserved recognition!

For nearly 20 years, Science Venture at The University of Victoria has been proud to partner with Uu-a-thluk (Taking Care of)to bring STEM Camps to communities across the West Coast of Vancouver Island. These programs would not be possible without the passion, leadership, and commitment of the Uu-a-thluk team.

I’m grateful to work alongside such inspiring people — at Science Venture, across the Actua network, and especially at Uu-a-thluk.

Congratulations again on this outstanding achievement — I look forward to many more years of collaboration together!
