CSA Survey
Adapting Civil Infrastructure to Changing Climate




Engineers Canada is currently undertaking a short confidential online survey of a broad spectrum of engineers involved in the planning, specification, design, construction, operation, maintenance or de-commissioning of transportation, building, water and wastewater, energy and resource exploration, extraction and processing infrastructures.

This survey is being conducted by the Canadian Standards Association on behalf of Engineers Canada and its constituent associations. The aim is to gain insights from an engineering perspective, into the state of awareness and degree to which the current and future climate is considered in adapting Canada's civil infrastructure. This information will be used to plan and execute projects and programs in partnership with Engineers Canada and its constituent associations that provide tools and training to integrate the consideration of current and future climate into the various stages of work related to infrastructures.

The survey is funded by Natural Resources Canada and the final report must be completed by March 31 so time is of the essence to complete a sufficient number of survey responses.

Participate in this important initiative

Note: The deadline for responses is Monday, Feb. 6. Please respond early.


 


EcoCar Showcases Alberta Innovation


A group of University of Alberta students is giving traction to a more eco-friendly world through their EcoCar Team.At work since September 2010, the team will hold a public unveiling in March before taking its first-generation, zero-emission, hydrogen-powered car to Houston. There, the EcoCar Team will compete in Shell Eco-marathon Americas 2012, March 29 to April 1.

Construction of the car features sustainable and locally produced materials and components, showcasing Alberta's industrial talent.

The team encourages APEGGA corporate and individual members to support the project.
