Mother Earth Environmental Services (MEES) is the environmental division within Whitefish (Goodfish) Lake First Nation #128 (WLFN #128), Alberta. MEES is committed to building capacity within the Nation by educating, training and hiring youth community members within the environmental sector, providing them with long-term, sustainable skills and employment within their home Nation.

While First Nations have typically relied on Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), adaptations must now be made to the digital world. Digital mapping is a major and essential component of modern-day environmental assessments. This project will train two individuals to become experts in Geographic Information Systems, building capacity to provide the necessary skills and capabilities to contribute to a variety of environmental assessments within the Nation.
