Canadian Centre for Climate Change and Adaptation
The federal government, along with the province of Prince Edward Island and the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï (ºÚÁϳԹÏ), have announced combined funding of $14.5 million for the new Canadian Centre for Climate Change and Adaptation to be located at the ºÚÁϳԹÏ. The project will include the construction of a 45,000 sq. ft. research facility in the town of St. Peter’s Bay, PEI.
The facility will house research centers, including the internationally recognized ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Climate Research Lab. It will also serve as a living laboratory that allows for unlimited access to nearby wetlands, forests and coastal habitats directly affected by climate change. The governments of Canada and Prince Edward Island are investing over $9.7 million in the project, and ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï is contributing over $4.8 million.
