@TulaFoundation@HakaiInstitute founders fulfilled a longtime vow to exhaust their fortune — gifting 55 acres of land to BC Parks and a final $92 million to their decades-old charity that leverages science and tech to help people and the planet. nationalobserver.com/2024/03/12/new…

Exciting news from Tula! A $92M donation is a milestone for Tula & Hakai, as we continue to drive scientific innovation from icefields to oceans. Plus, 55 acres of important land on Calvert Island will be transferred to BC Parks Foundation. Details: tula.org/news/tula-foun…
