Fleming College Suspends Key Wildlife & Environment Programs
More information here & here & here
The OCTWS is concerned about the loss of many programs at Fleming College. These programs teach critical skills to ecologists, and provide trained professionals that maintain the integrity of the wildlife profession across Ontario & nationally. There is a limited number of programs that provide wildlife courses in Ontario & Canada, and the loss of any of these programs is a significant threat to the future of wildlife conservation and management.
The OCTWS is specifically concerned about the loss of the following suspended programs:
- Conservation and Environmental Law Enforcement
- Ecological Restoration
- Ecosystem Management Technology
- Environmental Technician & Technology
- Fish and Wildlife Technology
-GIS Applications
The full list of suspended programs can be found here.
The OCTWS is reaching out to CSTWS and TWS to express our concerns. We will also be communicating with the college about the devastating impact these program suspensions will have on the wildlife field. We are requesting that these suspensions be reversed immediately. Additionally, we are working on creating a template letter for concerned individuals to send themselves. While we will send a letter to Fleming College from OCTWS, we believe it would be very beneficial for individual members to send letters as well.
Stay tuned for more updates on the OCTWS response to Fleming College
