The聽 Canada C3 expedition is a unique, 150 day expedition from Toronto to Vancouver via the Northwest Passage on board a Canadian icebreaker (the Polar Prince). While the voyage includes a varied science program throughout, it is about much more than science: it鈥檚 also about 鈥渃elebrating our environment, sharing the stories of coastal communities and connecting Canadians from coast to coast to coast.鈥�

The CERC.OCEAN group is proud to support the expedition through the loan of one of our sea-going container laboratories that will support marine microbiological and eDNA research throughout the voyage. The microbial and eDNA work is being conducted by groups from 黄色直播 (Julie LaRoche), Laval (Connie Lovejoy), UBC (Steve Hallam and Curt Suttle) as well as U. Victoria (Diana Varela) and DFO鈥檚 Institute of Ocean Sciences (Kristi Miller-Saunders) amongst others. As such, the project represents a unique effort to unite Canada鈥檚 microbial ecologists in a common survey of Canada鈥檚 marine biodiversity at molecular scales. Very much in the spirit of Canada C3!

The container laboratory was constructed by CTS Containers of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia with support from the Canada Foundation for Innovation and the Nova Scotia Research and Innovation Trust.
