Brentwood College School is a college preparatory boarding school located in Mill Bay, Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The school focuses on academics, athletics and arts in a unique tripartite curriculum.
This school is collaborating with the Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of Victoria to host a data collection buoy that will remotely sense a range of environmental factors and transmit them to a website that will be available to Brentwood students for analysis. Cameras and hydrophones will allow students to view and listen in to the ocean fauna. The monitoring project forms part of CANARIE - Canada's Advanced Research and Innovation Network. It also links to the NEPTUNE and VENUS projects that are currently gathering data from the deep on both coasts of Vancouver Island. In addition, Brentwood students will be using their own data gathering devices this year (with a portable data logger known as a LabQuest) to provide information on the changing salinity, temperature and nutrient levels within the Mill Stream estuary itself.
