SUMMARY:Understanding & Supporting Gender + Sexual Diversity during Pride and Year Round
DESCRIPTION:For many\, the history of Pride isn’t well known\, concepts related to gender and sexual diversity may feel overwhelming\, and it’s not clear how all this applies to the workplace. The presenter\, Kai Scott\, brings an open and friendly approach during this highly interactive and thought-provoking session. To begin\, we will unpack the 2SLGBTQIA+ acronym to introduce key terms and concepts. Kai will also provide insights into the unique and often invisible challenges faced by 2SLGBTQIA + people in society and at work. Webinar delivered by EGBC.

SUMMARY:Advanced Electrofishing – Online
DESCRIPTION:Backpack electrofishing is one of the most commonly used fish capture techniques in freshwater\, yet to be effective it must be done with strategy and care. The standard certification programs\, while necessary and essential\, focus on the safety aspects and how to conduct this form of fish sampling in a safe manner. Left out\, however\, are strategies and tactics to actually capture the wild fish in a stream. To assist practitioners in capturing more fish when doing this work\, NRTG’s Advanced Electrofishing MicroCourse provides students with lessons learned over decades on how to effectively capture fish using this tool.

SUMMARY:Planning & Designing Fish Habitat Assessments – Online
DESCRIPTION:In this MicroCourse presented by NRTG\, participants will examine how to design fish habitat assessments based on the desired project objective. Are we doing a baseline survey in advance of a proposed development? A reconnaissance survey? Or perhaps designing a monitoring program that will measure potential habitat changes downstream from a mine or forestry project? Perhaps an assessment to identify limiting factors to fish production and from this design restoration activities? Each of these will require different approaches to the assessment to gather the important information on which to make decisions. Planning & Designing Fish Habitat Assessments will provide guidance on how to select the appropriate methods depending upon the purpose of the survey.

SUMMARY:National Knowledge Assessment Virtual Scoping Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Canada’s National Knowledge Assessment process\, Canada in a Changing Climate: Advancing our Knowledge for Action\, is led by Natural Resources Canada with the goal of assessing\, synthesizing and sharing the latest knowledge on climate change impacts and adaptation in Canada to help inform and advance decision making. The process involves broad and meaningful engagement with different sectors\, governments\, universities\, Indigenous groups\, and communities from across the country to develop authoritative reports that assess the latest knowledge on how and why Canada’s climate is changing; the impacts of these changes on our communities\, environment and economy; and how we are adapting. To wrap up the scoping activities that have been underway since May 2023 and ensure we hear from as many people as possible\, the Assessment Secretariat is hosting a virtual scoping workshop. The goal of this workshop is to gather ideas\, perspectives\, and feedback on the overall scope and approach for the next Assessment process (2023-2028) to help ensure that the final Assessment products best meet the needs of intended audiences\, while helping to advance adaptation in Canada.

SUMMARY:New Perspectives on Mine Closure
DESCRIPTION:Mine closure is an issue of growing importance for mining companies\, the communities that host operations\, Indigenous peoples\, and governments with regulatory oversight of closure planning. In the coming years\, the world’s top miners are expected to spend over $50 billion (USD) closing mines and managing legacy sites. For many stakeholders and rightsholders\, there is a growing expectation that successful closure plans will go beyond remediation and short-term technical solutions to consider the complex socio-economic aspects of closure. Best practice planning is now expected to include measures that support a just transition for workers\, communities\, and governments as the jobs\, taxes\, royalties\, and philanthropic investments associated with producing mines diminish and then disappear. In this course presented by EGBC in Partnership with BRIMM Mining Education at UBC\, participants will examine the social and environmental dimensions of mine closure.

SUMMARY:GeoPro Talks: Why do Toxicity Reference Values (TRVs) Matter at My Contaminated Site?
DESCRIPTION:Although TRVs are regularly used\, they are often not completely understood. This presentation will explain how TRVs are derived\, where you can find TRVs\, and identify differences in TRVs derived by different agencies. Case studies will demonstrate why strong risk assessors should consider the basis of TRVs in their risk conclusions. Presented by GeoEnviroPro.
