Coming out of our annual hibernation, we’ve rested and reflected on all of the amazing achievements of the Healthy Headwaters Lab over the year 2022. Our numbers are only part of the story, and we also look forward to sharing our experiences and lessons learned thus far in future posts.
The beginning of the New calendar Year marks moments of reflection and renewed intentions. At HHL we reflected on the various seasons of HHL, and what each season means to us. Winter, Spring, Summer, & Fall, all symbolize different focus and goals for our research. When it comes to HHL’s seasons of research, everyone has a favourite season, what’s yours?
Some of the most common questions we get in the Healthy Headwaters Lab (HHL) are: How do we do what we do? How do we effectively engage communities as part of our research? The impacts of our research are evident in the strength of the relationships we’ve fostered and the diverse ways in which our research translates to positive societal impacts. To help tell that story, we recently published a paper sharing insights into HHL’s formative years. This paper contributes to a growing area of academic scholarship: Pluralism in Environmental Governance.

Back on February 25 and 26, the Healthy Headwaters Lab hosted joint sessions with the Centre for Indigenous Fisheries at the Canadian Conference for Fisheries Research.
The theme of this year’s conference was: Aquatic Systems Stewardship: Crisis, Change, and Cooperation. The two sessions were titled Indigenous Management Systems: Leadership, Collaboration, and Agency organized by Andrea Reid and Aquatic Habitat Restoration & Partnerships organized by Catherine Febria.
