			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The BCSGA would like to congratulate Elizabeth Harris as the recipient of the 2009 BC Shellfish Industry Award in the amount of $700.</p>
<p>Elizabeth is currently enrolled in Vancouver Island University&#8217;s Fisheries and Aquaculture program.</p>
<p>Scholarships and bursaries assist many students in pursuing their career goals. It is estimated that 40% of VIU&#8217;s students require financial assistance and many could not complete their education with the help of scholarships and bursaries.</p>
<p>The BCSGA is proud to support the development of the shellfish industry by ensuring that the next generation is offered all the opportunities possible to pursue a career in aquaculture.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Centre for Shellfish Research is getting lots of questions about construction progress at the Deep Bay Field Station.  To keep the interested up to date, they have created an informal blog located here –</p>
<p><a href="http://viudeepbay.com/">http://viudeepbay.com/</a></p>
<p>They’re trying to put up weekly construction photos, other updates and CSR related items of interest. If you are interested to follow along, they’ll be trying to update it at a minimum of once a week, so subscribe with your RSS reader or check back.   There is a really <span style="text-decoration: underline;">cool animated walk-through</span> of the building on this site that you don’t want to miss.</p>
<p><strong>What is the Deep Bay Field Station?  Is it:</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>a) The first dedicated marine agricultural field station for shellfish aquaculture on the west coast of North America?</p>
<p>b) VIU’s newest marine science laboratories?</p>
<p>c)  What will be one of the “greenest” buildings in Canada?</p>
<p>d) A public centre for marine science,  coastal ecology and sustainable coastal development?</p>
<p>e) An off-campus culinary arts centre for the Culinary Institute of Vancouver Island?</p>
<p>f) A seminar and public events facility in a stunning architectural setting and waterfront location?</p>
<p>g) A micro-campus of VIU with classroom abilities and opportunities for undergraduate learning?</p>
<p>h) all of the above?</p>
<p>If you chose all of the above – you’re right!  Contact VIU&#8217;s Deep Bay Field Station  if you would like to get more information or come up and get a tour.</p>
<p>They’ll be finishing construction late next summer.   If you can think of opportunities to create partnerships with your programs or if you are looking to organize retreats, seminars or small conferences after next summer and would like to discuss having them at Deep Bay please contact either  me or  Brian Kingzett, Deep Bay Field Station Manager, at 250 740-6399 ; <a href="mailto:Brian.Kingzett@viu.ca">Brian.Kingzett@viu.ca</a> .</p>
