Environmental monitoring, off-grid communications, and operations software.
Coverage
Regional monitoring networks don't reach here. We're building local infrastructure so communities have environmental data that reflects their own land.
Open Source
Tools we build for ourselves, released for anyone to use.
Work
Weather, air quality, and fire-risk sensors for areas with sparse regional data.
Off-grid messaging and alerting where cellular coverage is unreliable.
Custom software and data governance for community-run infrastructure.
Searchable records, audit trails, and evidence maps from public documents and open data.
What we bring
Hardware and data live where the community is, not in a distant cloud.
Data ownership, access, and sharing decisions stay with the community.
Open-source, documented deployments other communities can adapt.
Bay St. George based. We know the terrain, the partners, and the gaps.
Leadership
Founder & Director
WEJI Northern Technologies is founded and directed by Gary Lucas, a member of the Qalipu Mi'kmaq First Nation based in Bay St. George, Newfoundland. He holds a Bachelor of Economics from Memorial University of Newfoundland and brings more than 20 years of experience in data management and forecasting — the systems, governance, and analytical discipline that keep environmental data accurate, owned, and useful to the communities it comes from.
That background shapes how WEJI builds: local-first infrastructure, rigorous data governance, and reproducible, open systems designed to stay in community hands.
