A new course is offering Kingston university students an opportunity to immerse themselves in Lake Ontario, both figuratively and literally.
CBC NewsThe waterfront in Kingston, Ont. is shown in this drone shot taken on April 20, 2023.
"A lot of Queen's students come to Kingston, spend four years here, and they really don't know anything about the lake," said David McDonald, a professor in the university's department of global development studies. "We want the students using the space, and also want them to understand the history of the space. And not just it's recent history, but it's long history," he said.The course will bring in guest speakers to help students explore the ways colonization, climate change, industry and economic development have shaped the lake over hundreds of years into what it is today."Water experts talk about the hydrological cycle, and I do work on the hydro-social cycle.
"It's sexy to talk about water, but it's not very sexy to talk about poo. That's one of the reasons we're going to the sewage treatment plant and talking about sewage," he said.
