In November 2016, Mike Brook and Mike Brubaker from ANTHC led a two-day workshop in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. This workshop marked the official kick-off of the new First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) LEO hub. The workshop was held in the spectacular First Peoples' House on the campus of the University of Victoria (see photos at right).
First Nations representatives from Vancouver Island and elsewhere in British Columbia were in attendance, as well as representatives from numerous BC-based science organizations, the CEC, the United States EPA, and INAC (Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada).
As with the earlier workshop in Ensenada, this one focused the first day on observing and the second day on hub operations (with a significantly smaller audience the second day).
As of May 2017, the FNHA hub has contributed over 60 Observations to the LEO network!
