"I am both a whitewater kayaker and an explorer, and this map is meant to assist me and potentially other Vancouver Island whitewater kayakers. This project was a map of the watersheds and rivers of Vancouver Island. I tailored the map so that myself and other whitewater kayakers could use it as a first step in finding potentially suitable river sections on Vancouver Island that remain undocumented or unrun, with the intention of eventually going out to paddle them.

Professional Accreditation – Geography and Geoscience

What is professional accreditation?

A designation (letters after your name) to show that you are qualified to do a particular job or task. It serves as proof of your skills and knowledge in a particular discipline. Oversight is by a provincial (or national) organization that sets acceptable standards for professional practice, and controls admittance to the organization. The practice is often written into provincial legislation.
