We were happy to host our Winnipeg fish crew members a few weeks back at Lakehead!

It only took like 9 years but we finally managed to do the CEELab Classic again! Despite what started out to be lovely and sunny weather that quickly turned into a snowstorm, we managed to pull off our second CEELab Classic shinny game!

We had a good mix of productive writing focused on individual projects, collaborative work on a lab paper and enough down time to eat some great food, take in some olympics and do some snowshoeing and hiking outside.

Big kudos to the CEELab grad students for coming in second place at the inaugural Faculty of Science and Environmental Studies Trivia night!

Some great goings on in 2025 so far! Excited to welcome several new faces to the lab, including Jubayer, Eric, Monica, Jordyn, Samantha and Sam.

With the start of a new year, the website has gotten some badly-needed updating. Please peruse through for a current listing of students, lab photos and publications through to the end of 2023.

Long time, no post but wanted to put some big kudos out to the lab for successfully navigating field work this past year, and to welcome several new students to the lab; Ben Wood, Wyatt Beach, Kelvi Toskovich, Tristan Morrison and Adam Poulin (click on their names to learn more about their research).

We have a great crop of students that joined the lab this year! New MSc students include Amber Fedus joined us from Queen's University, and will be working up data from a whole-ecosystem macrophyte removal experiment; Danni Gartshore is looking at the impacts of invasive spiny water flea on early growth rates of fishes; Mark Schutte is working on Brook Trout eDNA and Cody Veneruzzo stuck around to do an MSc on the impacts of plastics on aquatic organisms.

Some major awards by students in the lab worth recognizing in 2020. All our PhD students really shone this year; Haley MacLeod was awarded a Garfield Weston grant, Alex Ross received an NSERC PGS-D award, and Ryan Grow received an OGS award.

Lots has happened in the lab during the spring of 2019. Graydon McKee and Marissa Wegher completed their MSc theses; Graydon joined the Kidd lab at McMaster as a technician, and Marissa joined the OMNRF.
