SFU will help the Lagoon Society secure funding for the $10-million Pender Ocean Discovery Station (PODS) project and will perform research at the facility once it’s built.

Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon attended the meeting, as part of her Stewards of the Future Conference, involving approximately 110 high school students from across the province.
