Events

Join the Saskatoon Geotechnical Group on Wednesday September 9th for the annual University of Saskatchewan graduate student presentations.

Join us for an evening of networking and connection with fellow engineering and geoscience professionals. Connect with colleagues, expand your professional network, and build relationships with members in a relaxed and welcoming setting.

As large language models (LLMs) become more capable, the challenge shifts from prompting individual tasks to building reliable, real-world systems around them. This presentation introduces harness engineering - the practice of designing control layers that transform raw models into structured, dependable AI agents.

A new school year means new opportunities to think about your future. If you’re an engineering student, one of the smartest moves you can make now is learning how licensure fits into your career path.

The objective of the Legislative Framework Training (LFT) workshop is to provide a better understanding of Saskatchewan’s construction legislation and regulations for the successful application of the National Building Code of Canada (NBC) 2020 and the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings 2020.

This session examines how the Hybrid Project Management Office (HPMO) is transforming the three core components of a PMO (Project, Management, and Office) through an engineering lens.

This webinar will provide an overview of the CAN/CGSB-48.9712 NDT Personnel Certification Program requirements for achieving and maintaining NDT certification, applicable across various product standards, regulations, codes, or specifications within multiple NDT methods and industrial sectors.

Join Passive House Canada for an evening exploring two very different—but closely connected—approaches to creating high-performance buildings in Manitoba. From designing one of Manitoba's most ambitious new commercial Passive House projects to tackling the challenge of retrofitting existing homes, these presentations will showcase how thoughtful design and building science can deliver resilient, comfortable, and energy-efficient buildings in one of Canada’s most demanding climates. 

The purpose of the workshop is to review and provide practical examples of construction standards and how they are applied to each topic. This includes outlining the path to compliance with the National Building Code of Canada, in addition to provincial legislation (where applicable).

The Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction (ICLR) and the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) created the Resilient Homes Task Force (RHTF) to increase capacity of the insurance and builder industries to implement resilience practices in new homes and renovations. As climate disruptions increase, resources and approaches developed through the collaboration are meant to expedite application of resilience practices.

This workshop series will provide a comprehensive yet practice-oriented exploration of modern site investigation methods, laboratory and in-situ testing, geophysical surveys, instrumentation systems, monitoring strategies, data interpretation, and emerging digital technologies. Through real-world case histories and technical presentations from leading practitioners and researchers, attendees will gain valuable insights applicable to water dams, hydropower facilities, tailings dams, transportation infrastructure, pipelines, buildings, and other geotechnical projects.

Building and Technical Standards will host free workshops in Regina and Saskatoon to highlight the significant changes to the 2025 codes. The workshop will be of interest to building owners and managers, industry, municipal officials, building officials, fire inspectors, designers and other code users.
