Amina Turner and Cole Lochhead
Summer Students 2024

​
Amina grew up in the Comox Valley on an organic fruit and vegetable farm. Her passion is for the outdoors and protecting the beautiful ecosystem that surrounds us. She will be returning to the University of Victoria to complete her second year.  Amina plans on working in the environmental sector and hopes she can make positive change!

Cole graduated from high school last summer and will be embarking on his post secondary journey in a biology related program this fall. Cole grew up in and around various watersheds in the Comox valley including the 
Tsolum and has always had a passion for what life they hold. He is an avid fly fisher and spends much of his free time in the local waters.


We respectfully acknowledge that the Tsolum Watershed that we cherish and protect flows through 
the unceded traditional territory of the K'omoks First Nation, the traditional keepers of this place
