Shayla Brewer

Honors student

Shayla (she/her) received her BA in Geography and Environmental Studies. She is grateful to be learning on Lekwungen territory, as well as throughout her degree learning on W̱SÁNEĆ and Lummi territory. She completed a co-op term working at the Legacy Art Galleries, where she explored different forms of communication to convey thoughts, ideas, and experiences to a diverse group of people. This experience inspired her Honors thesis to study the history of co-management and power sharing across state and non-state actors in the Sooke watershed, with a specific focus on Indigenous environmental stewardship.
