It’s with a joyful heart that I send out a resounding thank you to all of those in the CPBS/COTERC community who generously gave to help fund the continued work of the station during the pandemic! I have been astounded by your generosity on the GoFundMe page reaching over $10,600 Cdn at the time of my writing, and it means that the security of the station has been restored. Thank you. You were already generous of your time and energy - whether you had been on the Board and/or carried out work at the station. Each of us in this community have given what we can with the skill sets we already had or those we gained during our involvement. Many of you shared your story. Many asked your own friends and family to donate to support the station’s important work. Your generous response has made it possible for the station to remain open, and continue to carry out its projects as it pursues its mission of education, conservation, and research!
The moneys raised will be used directly for station operations and projects – meeting the basic bills including staff and necessary project materials. We run 11 long-term monitoring projects – an incredible feat for the station!! Funding comes mainly from interns and researchers who come to the station; and from fundraising events or grants procured by the COTERC Board. All Board members are volunteers and give of their time, often contributing directly through purchases of equipment or financial donations. -- Dr. Kym Snarr, Chair .
