The Borealis Training Awards are currently on hiatus.
The Borealis Council at the Robarts Centre for Canadian Studies is inviting applications from York University upper undergraduate and graduate students involved in northern fieldwork.
Created in 2022 by the Borealis Council, the Borealis Training awards provide selected upper undergraduate and graduate students involved in northern fieldwork with additional training and accreditation.
Eligible students are full-time graduate or upper-level undergraduate students at York University. Preference will be given to graduate students of Borealis Council members.
In 2023, these awards covered the fees of selected students for an accredited Canadian Firearms Safety Course so they can obtain a Possession and Acquisition licence (PAL) in order to safely conduct fieldwork in the North.
