The Law and Professional Practice in Engineering and Geoscience professional development module includes important information on the topics of professionalism and law as they relate to the professional practice of APEGS members.

There are some things to be aware of that have changed since the segments were recorded:

• The monarch for Canada as of September 2022 is King Charles III. The Court of Queen’s Bench is referred to in various places in the presentations, and that is now the Court of King’s Bench.
• Council size is being reduced through attrition to 13 members and this will be complete as of the 2024 elections.
• Current information on the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Program can be found on the APEGS website under “CPD”.

Losses from wildfire in Western Canada over the past decade have cost more than billion, not counting the money that was spent on suppression activities and cleanup.  Most predictions indicate that climate change will result in increased annual temperature in Western Canada and, as a result, a more prolonged fire season.  Hardening of communities and assets against wildfire requires a good understanding of the multitude of potential pathways that lead to the destruction.

We have enormous wind and solar power generation potential in Saskatchewan, but their intermittent nature constrains their utility-scale inclusion into our energy-supply mix. Long-duration and scalable energy storage systems like CAES are required to fully integrate renewables by converting this intermittent supply to firm capacity.  Due to our resource-rich and diverse geology, we can store wind and solar generated power as compressed air in salt caverns. When renewables are not available for direct generation, this compressed air can be controllably released to power an electricity-generating turbine.

This presentation will dive into a nonlinear innovation process that is full of twists and turns. We will first identify different types of innovation and explore the challenges and opportunities for technology-driven innovation.  We will explore how an innovation framework can support the systematic approach to create and sustain innovation.  And finally, we will look at a new development in Generative AI and explore how it can be used to accelerate the innovation process.

SaskPower manages Canada’s largest electrical distribution network, a network that when laid end to end nearly circles the earth four times. SaskPower’s legacy system did not provide visibility of the infrastructure nor the 550,000 customers relying on it for their daily power needs. Without this visibility, SaskPower had to depend on customers to report power outages.

This presentation will discuss the challenges, opportunities, and essential components of SaskPower’s efforts in integrating technologies, processes, and personnel to build a modern grid that can adapt to our customer’s evolving needs.

Geoengineers and geoscientists have developed sustainable solutions for a broad spectrum of field applications involving earthen materials. This presentation will highlight the cross-disciplinary nature of geoengineering (derived from geology, environment, and atmosphere) to address complex issues in key sectors of the Canadian economy. Saskatchewan-based case studies related to mining (management of slurry tailings), infrastructure (construction on problematic soils), and agriculture (moisture prediction for crop production) will be presented. Insights on successful implementation and future direction will be provided to inspire the geo-community to safeguard soils from the impacts of climate change (flash floods, droughts), natural hazards (landslides, earthquakes), and environmental pollutants (fertilizers, toxic wastes).

The Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan is known for its world-class uranium deposits unmatched by any other uranium deposits globally.  Although the genesis of these deposits has been well explained in the “diagenetic-hydrothermal” model proposed more than four decades ago, it remains unclear why the Athabasca Basin is exceptionally endowed with uranium resources. This presentation aims to address this question and its implication for uranium exploration.

Water recycling or reclamation involves treating wastewater from various sources for beneficial purposes such as environmental restoration, groundwater replenishment, agriculture and irrigation, industrial processes, and potable water supplies. Municipalities across Canada and worldwide continue to grow in population, leading to increasing demands for potable water. In response to water scarcity caused by climate change, communities must adapt to this shortage, with the reuse of municipal wastewater being considered more frequently to meet potable water needs.
