As part of their Infrastructure Resilience Professional (IRP) Credentialling program, the Climate Risk Institute is offering the online course, Asset Management and Climate Resiliency. This online course will introduce the fundamentals of asset management to help learners identify the benefits and challenges of infrastructure asset management and link this to their own practice, including land use planning, operations and maintenance, finance, and risk management.  The course provides an understanding of how climate can impact assets and services, and the integration of risk mitigation and adaptation measures over the life-cycle of an asset. This course is designed to fulfill one of the…

Speakers: Valerie Coté, Canadian Center for Climate Services Casey Clunas , Canadian Center for Climate Services Joanne Egan, Natural Resources Canada Description: Decision-makers and adaptation practitioners across Canada have identified the need for accessible examples of climate change adaptation actions, from others that have faced similar issues, as a key tool when incorporating climate change considerations into their work. The new Map of Adaptation Actions aims to address this need by providing interactive, one-stop-shop for examples of climate change adaptation from across Canada, including examples from the national assessment process, Canada in a Changing Climate: Advancing our Knowledge for Action. Join us in a 60-minute session entirely dedicated to exploring…

Engineers Canada is looking for licensed software engineers to share their passion for their work, and their knowledge of the field through 30-minute phone interviews. We are revising the 2016 Engineers Canada Paper on Software Engineering, a public document that helps Canada’s engineering regulators define the practice of software engineering in Canada. This paper was developed in collaboration with engineers and engineering regulators to promote consistent practices and a stronger public understanding of engineering fields across the country. If you are a licensed software engineer, your experience can help improve our work on this topic. Your input through this short…
