Learn why breeding bird surveys and nest searches are performed, the legislation that enforces these studies, and the protocols that guide these activities.
Gain insight into the Migratory Birds Convention Act (MBCA) and learn how to how to identify nests with eggs and how to protect those nests from activities like tree clearing.
Common to most construction projects and industrial sites, fuel storage is an area of high risk for spills and potential harm to the environment.
This session will review the regulatory requirements in detail for fuel storage, and best practices for managing fuel storage. Participants will also practice what they have learned by auditing virtual fuel storage scenarios using the training materials provided.
In Canada, working outdoors during the warm months requires a considerable amount of preparation. The northern Ontario climate presents challenges that call for added attention to safety when considering warmth, remoteness, and hydration.
This training event will prepare your environmental field crews and summer students to perform environmental monitoring in a safe manner. Topics include: Safety plans, communication procedures, Personal Protective Equipment, Wildlife Encounters, Vehicle Safety and Environmental Conditions
Discover the various types of environmental inspections typically conducted by internal personnel at industrial sites, including inspections of waste, chemical, and fuel storage areas.
Learn why particular inspections are required (i.e. regulatory vs. site-driven requirement), when to perform inspections, and how to record and manage inspection results.
This course introduces participants to key techniques and best practices for surface water monitoring.
Content covers field safety and preparation, sampling equipment and methods, QA/QC procedures, sample handling and preservation, chain of custody, storage and laboratory analysis, as well as effective data management and interpretation.
This workshop is designed for Environmental Practitioners in the mining and pulp and paper industry to understand how to plan for emergency response drills under federal and provincial requirements (E2, SPCP, and MDMER/PPER).
As a group, participants will develop a drill, then go through the process of conducting and debriefing a table top drill.
