We Wai Kai - Cape Mudge First Nation

The classroom of choice for a cohort of students this past summer? Quadra Island.

In May, in partnership with the Na̲nwak̲olas Council, SFU’s Faculty of Environment offered its first field course on the traditional territories of the Tlowitsis, We Wai Kai, Wei Wai K*m, K’ómoks and Mamalilikulla Nations.

Over three weeks, participants learned from local Knowledge Holders and community experts, covering topics spanning various social, environmental, cultural, economic and governance issues that are important to the Nations, all of whom are members of the Nanwakolas Council.

SFU students were joined by a select number of member Nation Guardians, community-based experts trained in land and water stewardship.

“The field school brought many students to a community and part of B.C. they had never been to and provided them the opportunity to collaborate on classwork with First Nations' Guardian students, whose knowledge about and experience of their territories enriched student learning immensely,” explains Julie Nielsen, adjunct professor in the School of Resource and Environmental Management, field school lead and instructor and forest stewardship advisor for the Council.

This morning, We Wai Kai Nation staff and tenants of 2025 Eagle Drive participated in the The Great BC ShakeOut Earthquake Drill.

Remember:
1. DROP onto your hands and knees before the shaking knocks you down.
2. COVER your head and neck. Get under a sturdy desk or table. If there is none, get down beside an interior wall, away from windows.
3. HOLD ON to your shelter until the shaking stops. Be ready to move with it.

Using a wheelchair or walker? LOCK your wheels, COVER your head and neck, HOLD ON until the shaking stops.

Do not run outside or stand in a doorway. Most injuries come from falling glass and objects.

Stay away from windows, glass partitions, tall shelving and the outside walls of the building.

After the shaking stops, count to 60, check yourself and those around you, then evacuate if the building is damaged or you are told to. Use the stairs, never the elevator. Expect aftershocks.
