The Life Changers

The Life Changers is a six-episode documentary series airing Sunday afternoons at 12:30 p.m. on ASN and produced by the Association of Atlantic Universities (AAU) in co-operation with participating universities.

One of the six episodes, "The New Green Acres," explored research in bio- environmental engineering at NSAC. Canada Research Chair Dr. Rob Gordon shared ways to make the family farm a more environmentally friendly enterprise, particularly in the area of effective eco-management of farm animal waste.

The Life Changers is comprised of half hour programs featuring path-breaking research and development (R&D) activities underway at Atlantic Canada’s universities that are having a positive, meaningful impact on lives and communities in the region and around the world. The Life Changers will bring these stories to life by featuring the institutions, their research teams (particularly students) and most importantly, those directly affected.

“If feedback is good, work could soon begin on another suite of episodes – there are certainly more than enough stories worth telling,” says Peter Halpin, executive director of the AAU.
