Penny Colton, P.Geoph., APEGGA manager of geoscience affairs, presents Farid Dadi, P.Eng., with his award of $125 as part of the PEGGasus Introductory Promotional Program. When he recently registered in an University of Calgary course on project construction management, Mr. Dadi became the first person to register in a continuing professional development event through PEGGasus, the engineering and geosciences learning marketplace.

“I found PEGGasus to be extremely useful for looking at variety of project management events and it made it quite easy for me to register in the course I selected,“ said Mr. Dadi. “I know I will be using the PEGGasus service again in the future to help me locate other professional development opportunities.”

Other members are also benefiting from the long list and wide variety of courses, seminars and events in the PEGGasus database. The range of opportunities becomes more impressive all the time.

Samples of topics recently added to PEGGasus include sewage treatment, and electrical static discharge (provided by RedVector.com), geomembrane containment systems (Layfield Group Ltd.), preventing electric motor failures (Kadon Electro Mechanical Services Ltd.), water interpretation (OPUS Petroleum Engineering Ltd.), project management professional exam preparation workshop (Pro Management Training Ltd.), strategic management (University of Alberta School of Business), and understanding oil and gas maps (Ayrton Exploration Consulting Ltd.).
