ICEWATCH

In 2011, responsibility for NatureWatch was transferred from Environment Canada to the Department of Geography at the University of Ottawa. Nature Canada remained a lead partner in NatureWatch, and was subsequently joined by the David Suzuki Foundation and the Department of Geography at Wilfrid Laurier University. The new NatureWatch partnership obtained funding in 2012 from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada to overhaul and update the aging NatureWatch website. A new NatureWatch website was developed by the University of Ottawa's Centre for e-learning and launched in the fall of 2014. The new website is fully compatible with all mobile devices and features enhanced tools for identifying species and mapping user observations. Input from provincial PlantWatch coordinators, the Toronto Zoo's X, and Waterloo-based learning software firm Desire2Learn was essential in getting what we now call NatureWatch 2.0 off the ground...
