------------ Marine Laboratories ------------

• Bamfield Marine Station
  A magnificent field station located in virtual wilderness on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Owned and operated by the five western Canadian universities (Alberta, Calgary, Simon Fraser, UBC, Victoria), it offers a suite of summer courses as well as a full 15 credit Fall Program, and has superb facilities for both field and laboratory research.
