Event Format: Virtual webinars
Hosting Organization: Professional Geoscientists Ontario (PGO)
Event Summary: This year’s 2024 Virtual Symposium is taking place April 16, 18, 23 & 25, 2024
Each day is comprised of 3-4 interactive sessions from experts from 12-1.30 pm each day. The sessions will cover issues currently facing the profession, including equity, diversity and inclusion, labour shortage, AI and liability.
Below is a brief overview of each day and topics to be covered in the sessions.
APRIL 16 – Equity, Diversity and Inclusion: Demystifying Registration Practices
This session will focus on raising awareness of the PGO’s process for licensing newcomers to Canada and how to bring equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) into the registration process for these individuals.
APRIL 18 – Engaging, Developing, and Retaining Multigenerational Geoscientists
Geoscience is currently facing a labour market problem, as many are retiring or just entering the field. This session will cover how to integrate new professionals, retain and reengage existing professionals and mentor them to fast-track upskilling.

APRIL 23 – Bridging Realms: Artificial Intelligence in Professional Geoscience
How will AI affect professional geoscience? This session offers an insightful intro into AI before delving deeper into practical applications throughout the field, and how it will affect the future of the profession.

APRIL 25 – Practice, Pitfalls, and Protections – Some Social and Legal Aspects of Geoscience Practice
To protect their own interests, professional geoscientists should be aware that the public will rely on the professional’s opinion and that reliance brings legal obligation, legal liability, and public-interest responsibility with it. This session will cover recent lesser-known legal developments relevant to the profession.
This symposium is relevant to professional geoscientists, geoscientists-in-training, and geoscience students across Ontario and beyond. This learning event will also be of interest to associated communities, including professional regulators, technical societies, government staff, legal practitioners, and the public.

The Power of Vulnerability in Leadership
2024-06-26 12:00 - 13:00 | Saskatchewan
Date: June 26, 2024
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM Central Standard Time
Event Format: Live Webinar – Microsoft Teams platform
Hosting Organization: APEGS – A Professional Webinar Series Presentation
Event Summary: As a leader, how do you create a psychologically safe environment for those under your care? It used to be that showing vulnerability as a leader was a weakness. Not so today. A leader who has the courage to be vulnerable, gives permission to others she/he leads, to be vulnerable as well. And only when openness and authenticity become the norm in the workplace, at home or in the community, can healing occur. With anxiety, depression, and suicide rates on the verge of reaching epidemic levels, people are looking, in large part, to our societal, business and government leaders for an answer. What is our response to this appeal for help? Gord Moker strongly believes that vulnerability in leadership is critical. He has come to this acceptance honestly and will share his story around the struggles he’s faced with anxiety and depression, and how he managed to come through it, and live an abundant life, filled with gratitude and joy, while keeping top-of-mind how fragile life can be, and by not taking anything for granted.
Presenter: Gord Moker, Chair of TEC Canada
There is no cost to attend. This event will be held live on the Microsoft Teams platform.
How to Register: Registration is now closed. Meeting link has been emailed to all who registered.

Event Summary: What is National Instrument 43-101? What is its role in the mining industry? How can the general public benefit from it? Developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), NI 43-101 is a regulatory standard that governs how companies disclose information about mineral projects to the public in Canada. As the name suggests, this “National Instrument” applies uniformly across all provincial and territorial legislatures, ensuring transparent reporting. The Disclosure Instrument applies to both oral statements and written documents, including websites, ensuring transparency and accuracy in reporting of mining-related information. Canadian mining and mineral exploration companies must follow specific rules for public disclosure which are designed to improve the accuracy and integrity of the information they provide on properties material to the company. During the webinar, the prescribed format for the 43-101 Technical Document will be discussed. The presentation will include discussions on:

How the disclosure standards apply to oral statements as well as written documents and websites.
NI 43-101 does not apply to disclosure concerning petroleum, natural gas, bituminous sands or shales, groundwater, or coal bed methane.
• The disclosure must be based on information provided by a “qualified person”.
• In some circumstances, the qualified person has to be independent of the company and the property.
• A company is required to use specified terminology defined by CIM when disclosing mineral resources and mineral reserves.

Presenter – Faisal Sayeed, P.Geo. Faisal’s industry experience portfolio includes heavy crude/unconventional hydrocarbons, base/precious metals in a multitude of jurisdictions around the globe where he has modeled resources in variety of settings:

Date: August 13, 2024
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM CST (Saskatchewan Time)
Event Format: Live Webinar – Microsoft Teams
Hosting Organization: APEGS – A Professional Webinar Series Presentation
Event Summary: An Operations Management System (OMS) plays a vital role in performing your role as an engineer and/or a geoscientist in the energy sector, whether its in oil and gas production or as a service provider. An OMS is basically a framework of elements such as leadership accountability, risk management, incident management, reliability and integrity, management of change, supply chain management, performance assessment and continuous improvement, and so on. This framework helps the industry enhance measures for process safety and remain in compliance via internal and external audits. Knowledge of an OMS will help candidates self-assess to continue what they are doing well, find out what they need to learn next and apply operational excellence in their respective functions.

Decarbonization in the Oil & Gas Sector
2024-08-22 12:00 - 13:00 | Saskatchewan
Registration is now closed.
Date: August 22, 2024
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM CST (Saskatchewan Time)
Event Format: Live Webinar – Microsoft Teams
Hosting Organization: APEGS – A Member-Led Live Webinar Series Presentation
Event Summary: In recent years, Canada has introduced its plan for 2050 net-zero emissions goals with the aim to make the Canadian economy either emit no greenhouse gas emissions or offset these emissions. One of the methods to achieve these goals is employing technologies that can capture carbon emission before it is vented into the atmosphere. In Canada, the oil and gas sector is the highest emitting sector and adopting the decarbonization solution is not an easy task due to many reasons. However, the most pressing reasons are the lack of understanding of carbon capture technologies and the shortage of skilled engineers in this space. This webinar will provide engineers with the fundamentals to better understand the carbon capture processes with focus on those technologies, which are ready and suitable for both small and large emitting facilities.
