The Power of Vulnerability in Leadership
2024-06-26 12:00 - 13:00
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 Format: Live Webinar – Microsoft Teams
Hosting Organization: APEGS – A Member-Led Live Webinar Series Presentation
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:
• Porphyry Copper (British Columbia, Canada, West Africa)
• Potash (Saskatchewan, Canada, OCP, Morocco)
• Pegmatite hosted Lithium (Canada, Brazil, West Africa),
• SEDEX, IOCG (Australia), VHMS, Epithermal/Mesothermal precious & base metals (Argentina, Nigeria, Pakistan)
Faisal is currently engaged in the mineral resources industry as a Sr. Geologist/Consultant, QP for disclosure reporting (NI43-101), Study Manager for several PEA, PFS, and DFS level work.

Decarbonization in the Oil & Gas Sector
2024-08-22 12:00 - 13:00
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.
Presenter – Walid ElMoudir, Ph.D., P.Eng., PMP
Dr. 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.
