SUMMARY:The Power of Vulnerability in Leadership
DESCRIPTION:Date:     June 26\, 2024 \nTime:     12:00 PM – 1:00 PM Central Standard Time \nEvent Format:   Live Webinar – Microsoft Teams platform \nHosting Organization:    APEGS – A Professional Webinar Series Presentation \nEvent 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. \n Presenter:  Gord Moker\, Chair of TEC Canada \nThere is no cost to attend.  This event will be held live on the Microsoft Teams platform. \nHow to Register:  Registration is now closed.  Meeting link has been emailed to all who registered. \nEvent Contact:    APEGS Professional Development Department  – Angela Foster or Jolene Arthur cpd@apegs.ca \nDisclaimer:    The views expressed during this event are those of the presenters and do not necessarily represent the views of APEGS.

SUMMARY:Decarbonization in the Oil & Gas Sector
DESCRIPTION:Registration is now closed. \nDate: August 22\, 2024 \nTime: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM CST (Saskatchewan Time) \nEvent Format: Live Webinar – Microsoft Teams \nHosting Organization: APEGS – A Member-Led Live Webinar Series Presentation \nEvent 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. \nPresenter – Walid ElMoudir\, Ph.D.\, P.Eng.\, PMP \nDr. Walid ElMoudir is the Principal Process Consultant at ChemProcess Consulting & Services Ltd. and the official representative of Optimized Gas Treating\, Inc. (Texas\, USA) in Africa\, Turkey and Cyprus. Dr. ElMoudir has a B.Sc. (University of Tripoli\, Libya) and M.Sc. with distinction (University of Leeds\, UK) in Chemical Engineering\, and a Ph.D. in Industrial Systems Engineering (University of Regina\, Canada). He is a registered professional engineer with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan (APEGS) and Alberta (APEGA). He is also certified as Project Management Professional (PMP®) by Project Management Institute (PMI). Dr. ElMoudir has twenty-four years experience in chemical plant design\, operation\, optimization and troubleshooting. He has participated in over 150 engineering studies and projects worldwide in Gas Processing and Conditioning\, Crude Oil Refining\, Chemical Purification\, Seawater Desalination\, and Research & Development. In his last 16 years\, he improved and developed generic and proprietary Carbon Capture systems. He is an inventor of patented solvent purification system for carbon capture applications and has published more than 25 publications and papers on many technical topics. \nWho Should Attend: \nEngineers and operators in the oil and gas sector as well as Engineering students. \nThere is no cost to attend\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Shifting Tracks: Permafrost Thaw along the Hudson Bay Railway
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 29\, 2024 \nTime: 12pm – 1pm \nEvent Format: Lunch Presentation \nLocation: South Dining Room\, Park Town Hotel\, 924 Spadina Crescent E\, Saskatoon\, SK\, S7K 3H5 \nHosting Organization: Saskatoon Geotechnical Group \nEvent Summary: Join the Saskatoon Geotechnical Group for the Cross Canada Lecture Tour\, presented by Jocelyn L.Hayley\, University of Calgary. Across the Canadian north\, access to stable linear infrastructure networks is critical for the well-being of Northern communities and the Canadian economy. The Hudson Bay Railway\, the first major transportation infrastructure built over permafrost in Canada\, is now facing significant climate-driven stability and drainage issues. The Hudson Bay Railway corridor extends across icy and frost-sensitive glacio-marine deposits through the sporadic\, discontinuous\, and continuous permafrost zones of Northern Manitoba. After touching on its rich history during construction and operation\, we introduce a\ntransdisciplinary multiyear project that aims to identify and characterize permafrost-related hazards along the railway corridor and investigate potential mitigation measures for improving rail stability and minimizing risk. Traveling along the Hudson Bay Railway\, we will look at site investigation methods\, explore ground temperatures and ice wedge formations\, drainage issues\, sinkhole formation and more – all with the goal to improve the resilience\, sustainability\, performance\, and safety of Canada’s permafrost railway. \nHow to Register: https://www.saskatoongeotech.com \nEvent Contact: saskatoongeotechnicalgroup@gmail.com \nDisclaimer: The views expressed during this event are those of the hosting organization and do not necessarily represent the views of APEGS.
