Jean Boulva first accompanied Ian McLaren to Sable Island in May 1968. In 1970, under Ian’s guidance, Jean began Ph.D. research on the status of the Harbour Seal in Atlantic Canada. He established his quarters at East Light, and occasionally shared the old lightkeepers house with other researchers. They all contributed to Ian’s major research project on the Ipswich Sparrow led by his Ph.D. student Wayne Stobo.

As we walked the network of horse trails… I was captivated by beetles, spiders, and the tiny sweat bee – newly recognizing the critical role that all of these creatures play in the island’s ecosystem.

I first learned about Sable Island as a 10 year-old city boy from England… watching television alone on a sunny Saturday afternoon… a 1956 CBC documentary about Sable Island.
The winning tickets have been drawn for the Sable Island Institute’s raffle for a trip to the island by helicopter with Kattuk Expeditions. The visit is planned for October 6, 2022.
The SII plans to develop a program of engaging and responsive online opportunities for people to connect with the island, and we begin with this StoryMap project, a collaboration with COGS.
