Direct Lithium Extraction
2023-01-11 12:00 - 13:00 | Online
Lithium is a resource that has been generating a lot of interest over the past few years. But why? Simply, the world is looking for new sustainable initiatives. This includes a major push to the use of electric vehicles.
Currently lithium mining is concentrated in Australia and South America, using the traditional methods of hard rock mining and evaporation ponds but as the demand for lithium increases new technologies to mine lithium are being developed such as direct lithium extraction.
Matt Dreis, Senior Analyst at Prairie Lithium, will discuss the current state of lithium mining, what is DEL, and why do we need it when we are already mine lithium.

Organizational Change Management - Why do I keep hearing these words and why should I listen?
2022-12-06 12:00 - 13:00 | Online
We manage change in projects and operations but how are we managing people through change? Can we manage people through change? Yes!
People make change; without people we wouldn’t have change. People are complex and change is difficult – we can’t force people through change and/or hope they muddle through and expect fulsome successes and positive experiences.
OCM offers proactive, flexible, structured processes with tools and techniques to help people move through change successfully and can be used in any industry and for any business, regardless of size. Yes, you likely are managing change already; OCM offers a more fulsome approach to boost your past and current successes. Join Amanda in learning more about OCM and how it can benefit you and the people around you.

Requirements for Alterations to Existing Buildings and Change of Major Occupancy
Kresten Krogsgaard, P.Eng. – Building Code Engineer, City of Regina
What special considerations and requirements apply when renovating existing buildings to new uses and occupancies? This presentation will give you a very local insight into what the City of Regina expects and enforces for these types of projects.
Accessibility Design Options
Sherry Hastings, Dipl. Arch. Tech., CCCA, CSP, Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification (TM) Professional, P3Architecture Partnership, Regina
Accessible design is beyond meeting minimum code requirements which often does not meet the actual needs of people with disabilities. The Rick Hansen Foundation has developed a universal rating scale with recommendations for accessing levels of meaningful access while complementing existing building codes and standards. Sherry Hastings is one of only a few RHFACPs in Saskatchewan, and will explore this range – from common issues with applying the minimum standard, to easily integrated ‘beyond the codes’ approaches.
Flexibility in Design: Building Code Alternative Solutions

APEGS Fall PD Days - Sustainability: An Engineering and Geoscience Perspective
2022-11-22 12:00 - 13:00 | Online event
Talk of sustainability is everywhere with climate change headline news. Corporations are being asked to take a leadership role in becoming more sustainable, which the United Nations defines as providing for the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations. Amongst COVID-19, the war in Ukraine, and political upheaval in the USA and around the world, how does sustainability fit into our global issues? What role should engineers and geoscientists play in a sustainable future? Are we helping guide this sustainable future using our skills or are we sitting back and waiting for those decisions to be made by others? Bonnie will provide an overview of sustainability and talk specifically about some of the important engineering perspectives.
Presented by: Bonnie Dobchuk, P.Eng.
Bonnie is a Professional Engineer and business leader with over 20 years of experience in the mining industry. She has held many roles but has more recently been able to pursue her interests in sustainability and corporate social responsibility.
A proud graduate of the College of Engineering, University of Saskatchewan (USASK), she received an undergraduate degree in Agricultural and Bioresource Engineering and a Master’s in Environmental Engineering.
Bonnie’s career path has taken her through both research and consulting roles. Starting in mine tailings remediation, her research at USASK was instrumental in shaping her career. As she moved into consulting, she was able to incorporate her knowledge into the broader mining remediation field as a Professional Engineer. She worked in this capacity for 18 years with O’Kane Consultants, a multi-national engineering consulting company that specializes in holistic mine waste management. From 2016 to 2021, as Director and Chief Executive Officer with O’Kane, Bonnie applied her business leadership and oversaw the re-organization of O’Kane as a purpose-driven organization.
Bonnie recently decided to make a career change, with a greater focus on sustainability and corporate social responsibility. She sees sustainability as a culmination of the environmental, social and governance experience she gained through her time with O’Kane.
A proud mother of three daughters, active and valued participation in STEM fields by under-represented groups is always front of mind for Bonnie. For this reason, she volunteers on the Board of Directors for Women-in-Mining/Women-in-Nuclear Saskatchewan. She also advocates for women by volunteering on the Gender and Trade Advisory Group and the Gender-Based Analysis + Sub-Committee, both for Global Affairs Canada.
Bonnie is also a member of the Board of Directors for Birch Narrows Dene Nation Development Inc.
