Big steps for small marmots! Thanks to a partnership with Vancouver Island University, we now have a remote weigh scale to monitor wild marmot weights. This tech reduces stress and helps gather data to support the recovery of this Critically Endangered species! @MarmotRecovery

Standing tall to learn heavy duty mechanics and thank @WasteManagement! @VIUniversity students are working hard on our retired trucks to study engines and truck systems. It’s all thanks to a donation made possible by the WM family serving Nanaimo and neighboring communities.
A big thank you to @WMBritishCo, who recently donated four trucks to VIU’s Heavy Mechanical Trades Foundation program! The donation enables students to work on modern trucks – previously much of the equipment students learned on was more than 25 years old. @GiveToVIU
