6. Business Arising from the Minutes

There was no Business arising from the Minutes of the 2012 Annual Meeting.

7. President’s Address Mr. Brookes referred attendees to his President’s Report in the 2013 Annual Report. Mr. Brookes stated that it is an honor to be the President of NAPEG and shared his admiration of Past Presidents and all the great work they’ve done. Mr. Brookes reported that this is the first spring meeting since 2004 and noted that we now have a bridge to cross instead of having to wait for the ferry to get to Yellowknife. Mr. Brookes stated that NAPEG has a challenging task in that we have legislation that we need to administer and govern. Mr. Brookes acknowledged the hard work or NAPEG Staff and Committees, who are the backbone of the Association. Attendees were referred to the Committee Reports in the 2013Annual Report which outline what the Committees do, what they’ve achieved and what they are trying to achieve in the future.

8. Reports from Committees Attendees were again referred to the Committee Reports in the 2013Annual Report.

9. Financial Statements Heather Hayne, P.Eng., Chair of the Finance

Committee, referred attendees to Page 39 of the 2013 Annual Report to review The Independent Auditors Report for 2012 and the NAPEG Finance Report with budgets for 2013 and year to date numbers for 2013 compared to those from the same period from last year. Paul Fleury and Co. prepared the Auditors Report. The Report has been reviewed by the Finance Committee. The Report shows a clean audit. It was noted that the accounting standards used for this Report are for not-for-profit organizations

This is the first time the new standards have been used by NAPEG. The net result is the same although the format may look a little different from previous years. Our financial affairs are in good shape and 2012 revenues are up slightly. This is primarily due to increased income from dues. It was noted that there was a transfer made from NAPEG general funds to the Education Foundation in 2012 of $125,000. We also maintain a reserve of $250,000.00 for Discipline and Enforcement matters and an Operations reserve of $195,000. Investments are held in GICs. The prospects for 2013 continue to look good. H. Hayne thanked Linda Golding, her staff and the Finance Committee members for their contributions and Paul Fleury for his audit services.

10. Approval of the Auditor’s Report

There was a motion by T. Livingston, P.Eng., seconded by H. Falck, P.Geo., to approve the 2012 Auditor’s Report. The motion was carried.

11. Appointment of the Auditors

There was a motion by G. Vivian, P.Geo., seconded by H. Falck, P.Geo., that Council appoint Paul Fleury and Co. as auditor for the 2013 year. Carried.

12. New Business - Bylaws

Mr. Brookes announced that the amendments to the NAPEG Bylaws were approved and attendees were invited to review the hard copies of the amended Bylaws which have been provided or to view on-line on the NAPEG website.

13. 2013 Annual General Meeting – Set Date

There was a motion by Kevin McLeod, P.Eng., seconded by Gary Vivian, P.Geo., that the 2014 Annual General Meeting be held on May 14, 2014. The motion was carried.


2013 Minutes continued


14. Election Results

Mr. Brookes called on Past President Hendrik Falck, P.Geo., to report the election results. It was noted that due to the 2013Annual General Meeting being held in the spring instead of the fall as usual, it was a shortened term for some people. The following results were announced: 2nd Vice President Tom Livingston, P.Eng. (1st year of term) Councilors (3 year terms) Gary Strong, P.Eng. Todd Paget, P.Eng.

Mr. Falck welcomed the new Councillors and thanked all who ran for Council. It was further noted that the runner up, Babesh Roy, P.Eng., will be asked to serve on Council in the event of a vacancy. 14.1 Motion to Destroy Ballots Mr. Falck asked if there were any objections to the poll as it was announced. Seeing none, a request for a motion to destroy the ballots was made. There was a motion by Gary Vivian, P.Geo., seconded by Heather Hayne, P.Eng., to destroy the ballots. The motion was carried.

15. Appointment of the Nominating Committee

Terry Brookes, P.Eng., announced that the Nominating Committee appointed by Council is: Chair Hendrik Falck, P.Geo., Gary Vivian, P.Geo.; Kevin Hodgins, P.Eng.; Natalie Plato, P.Eng.; and Heather Hayne, P.Eng.

16. Messages from Visitors and other Organizations Catherine Karakatsanis, FEC, FCAE, P.Eng., President of Engineers Canada thanked NAPEG for the invitation to the 2013 Annual General Meeting and noted that Engineers Canada will be back to Yellowknife in June for the Engineers Canada 2013 AGM. She noted that Engineers Canada works closely with constituent associations across the country and represents 250,000 professional engineers in Canada.

Referring to the Annual Report submitted by Lloyd Henderson, P.Eng., NAPEG’s Director on the Engineers Canada Board, Ms. Karakatsanis highlighted a few initiatives. Engineers Canada has been working on in collaboration with the regulatory organizations on the issue of the labour market. Engineers Canada released a recently completed study called The Engineering Labour Market in Canada - Projections to 2020. The study, which is on the Engineers Canada website, shows that within the next 10 years there will be a shortage of engineers with specialized experience. The Canadian government has decided to address this shortage through immigration. Engineers Canada, along with the constituent associations and Federal Government, are involved to make sure that when foreign trained engineers come to Canada, they know what to expect and that they have the education and credentials needed for registration. Ms. Karakatsanis explained that Engineers Canada completed the Roadmap to Engineers in Canada project and developed a website that internationally trained Engineers can look at before they come to Canada to see what is required to become licensed here: www.newcomers.engineerscanada.ca. The project was a collaboration with all the constituent associations and funded by the Federal Government. Another area that Engineers Canada is involved with on behalf of the constituent organizations, is government relations

Engineers Canada actively participated in the Federal Government Infrastructure consultations, advocating that there be sustainable funding for core public infrastructure and proper long term asset management. The Federal Budget does reflect the Engineers position in terms of their commitment to a long term infrastructure plan.





Ms. Karakatsanis congratulated NAPEG on their strong appointed representative, Lloyd Henderson, P. Eng. and Presidential leadership, Terry Brooke P. Eng. She wished NAPEG Council and President-Elect, Heather Hayne, P. Eng. a successful year and thanked NAPEG Executive Director, Linda Golding and their staff and volunteers for the hospitality and support.

17. Closing Remarks from the President

President Terry Brookes, P. Eng. noted that he is proud of the strong education mandate of Engineers Canada. We have a standard in our society because of the quality and attention that Engineers Canada put into the training of new engineers. Mr. Brookes also extended thanks to our honored guests, distinguished speakers, Members, Council and NAPEG staff.

18. Announcements

Mr. Brookes announced that the next Council meeting is scheduled for June 14, 2013 and mentioned that the Education Foundation Annual General Meeting will follow directly after the NAPEG AGM.

18. Adjournment

S. Jha, P.Eng., moved adjournment of the meeting, seconded by H. Falck, P.Geo. The meeting was adjourned at 5:30 p.m.

Catherine Karatkatsanis, P.Eng. (ON) President, Engineers Canada


PRESIDENT’S REPORT Terry Brookes, P.Eng.

Welcome everyone to the 2014 Annual General Meeting of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists. My term as your President, and the term for some of the Council, is rapidly coming to a close. Traditionally this is where I reflect back on the achievements of Council over the last year, and yes, there have been many achievements; but I leave those accomplishments to be found in the many Committee Reports that form part of our Annual AGM Report. And I want to thank all those committees for their tireless work that goes on behind the scenes. Instead, I want to talk about how we can move forward for the future. First, professional engineers and geoscientists, like all professions, are faced with new challenges and constant change. As professionals, we cannot rely on our old

standards of education and static knowledge. New information and new technologies are continually arising. Our code of ethics requires us to constantly update our knowledge if we are to uphold public safety and environmental protection. There is also the need for us as individual professionals to develop--what the management types would call--our social capital: the ability to connect with our neighbours and the world. An excellent opportunity for these two types of knowledge will be occurring at the annual professional development conference put on each year by NAPEG (following this AGM.) I encourage all of you to take part in educational opportunities as often as possible, especially those which are so close to home. Secondly, the duties of a small professional self-regulating body like NAPEG can at times be overwhelming. There are many tasks that have to been undertaken to demonstrate that we uphold public safety as paramount. Limited resources, people and funding, can make it challenging. In the future NAPEG has to act strategically to meet its legislative obligations of self-regulation, and at the same time meet the professional needs of its membership. As this is my last opportunity to communicate to our membership through the Annual Report, I would like to say how incredibly rewarding it has been to volunteer for the various duties on behalf of NAPEG, particularly as a Councillor and President. I have always believed that it was a debt and a duty to volunteer because I wanted to give something back to a profession that has provided me with a wealth of stimulation and satisfaction far beyond anything I imagined some thirty-five years ago. Although the rewards are commensurate with one’s volunteer commitment, it is not necessary to be on Council, or indeed, to be President to benefit. The many committees offer both new and experienced professionals an opportunity to give back to their professions. I encourage you to get involved and participate. It will add value to your life and return far more that you invest. I noted earlier that some Councillors have completed their term on Council, and are leaving. This, of course, just means new Councillors are coming on board to fill those vacancies. In addition, there will be a new President and Vice Presidents to fill those roles. This brings new minds and bodies to the Council, with fresh ideas and directions. To the new Council I wish you the best of luck, look to the future, but don’t forget your past. It is with this continuity that NAPEG moves forward and upholds its duty and responsibility of self-regulation to both the government and to the public.

President’s Report continued

I cannot conclude without mention of our CEO and Registrar, Linda Golding, and her staff at the NAPEG office. The Council may give thought and direction to its many tasks, but it is Linda and her staff that get it done. For that we owe them most gracious thanks for a job well done. It has indeed been my honour to be President of NAPEG. The friends I have made will stay with me for the rest of my life. Respectfully submitted, Terry Brookes, P.Eng., FEC

Volunteer Opportunities

Contact the NAPEG Office if you are interested in volunteering for a NAPEG Committee. Let us know your area of interest and we’ll find the right committee for you. Some committees often looking for volunteers include: Professional Development (PD) and Outreach. Let the Executive Director or PD Chair know if you would be willing to present at the annual conference or a brown-bag lunch presentation.


EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT Linda Golding, FEC (Hon)

It continues to be a time of growth for NAPEG. As we have grown in membership, we have also grown in additional office space and one additional employee. NAPEG now has a total of five employees, including myself. Our main office (Suite 201) is under the daily office management of Mimi Kennedy who, with a staff of two (Melanie Uy-Menendez and Katie Santos), deals primarily with aspects related to registration and admission. Our new office space (Suite 206) is the location of myself and Assistant, Megan Livingston. All aspects of discipline and compliance will be handled from this location. Total membership has grown from 2013 to 2161 since April of last year. We recognize that mobility is important to both engineers and geoscientists. At the present time approximately 13% of individuals registered with NAPEG reside in either the Northwest Territories or Nunavut.

With approximately 87% of the registrants living outside of the jurisdiction, we have tried to keep in mind that our process for mobility applicants needs to be as fast and cost-efficient as possible. The application fee for mobility applicants was reduced to $100.00 beginning in January this year. Annual dues have remained at the same level for several years and we pro-rate on a quarterly basis for new registrations. Applicants can be registered within a few days if there is a need for expediency. Otherwise, new registration is approved monthly.

NAPEG’s first Law and Ethics Seminar, held in the autumn of 2013, was a great success. Speakers were well received: Bob McDonald, P.Eng., LLB (SK); Geoff Thiele, LLB (BC); Ross Plecash, P.Eng. (AB); and Michael Gannon, P.Eng. (BC), LLB were the primary speakers on law, ethics, professionalism and risk management. Gary Vivian, P.Geo. (Discipline Committee Chair) was facilitator. There was a presentation on Continuing Professional Development by Bob McDonald and a presentation on climate change by Ron Kent, P.Eng. (Environment Committee) with emphasis on showing that climate change has been considered in proposals. There were 60 people in attendance. As a continuation of ethics awareness, a relatively new agenda item for the Members-in-Training and New Professionals Committee is my presentation of an ethical case study at each meeting. This has resulted in increased attendance and some good discussions on ethical issues. With a view to the requirement for engineers and geoscientists to maintain competence and increase knowledge through continuing professional development, NAPEG encourages our membership to take advantage of northern professional development opportunities. To show our support we have increased sponsorship whenever possible. NAPEG hosted a Meet and Greet at the Project Management Conference and sponsored a coffee break at the Pan-Territorial Permafrost Workshop. Every year we host the Camsell Talk at the NT/NU Chamber of Mines Geoscience Forum. NAPEG encouraged members to take part in an on-line workshop for PIEVC that was held every Tuesday in February. We were hoping for registrations from more remote communities to see how this venue works for delivery in the North. We will be looking for more ways to offer more professional development to those outside of Yellowknife and our staff and members of the PD Committee are hopeful that we can find ways and means to reach more of the membership.

Executive Director’s Report continued

NAPEG supported the Nunavut Mining Symposium as a Gold Sponsor this year including having a booth at the Trade Show. We also had an opportunity to meet with some government officials. We hope to expand our time in Nunavut in the coming year with more interaction with community and government officials in both Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. The Professional Development Committee, under the leadership of Michele Guy, P.Eng. and with assistance from NAPEG staff, has set out a first-rate Professional Development Conference once again. Michele is handing the Chair over to Justin Hazenberg, P.Eng. who has been a volunteer on the committee for some time. Our thanks go out to Michele and Justin, and all members of the committee for both the annual conference and brown-bag lunch presentations throughout the year. The work of NAPEG volunteers is much appreciated. We have a small pool of dedicated professionals who contribute many hours to support our programs and we could not do it without them. In addition to elected officials, we have two members of the public who are appointed by Department of Justice to serve on Council. We were very fortunate to have had both Dave Lovell and Liz Wyman serve as public members for more than 10 years. This year we had a new appointment (Chris Hunt) to replace Dave. Thank you to Dave for your many years of service, including being a valuable member of the Finance Committee, and to Liz who continues as we seek out another public member. Congratulations to the recently-elected members of NAPEG Council and our thanks to all members who were willing to run for positions on Council. It is a significant contribution of time and energy for those serving as your Council and also for committee members. My staff and I feel blessed to work with such a great group of individuals. Respectfully submitted, Linda Golding, FEC (Hon) NAPEG Executive Director and Registrar

Engineers Canada Director’s Report Lloyd Henderson, FEC, P.Eng.

Engineers Canada (EC) is the national organization created by the constituent members, the provincial and territorial regulatory associations. Regulation of the practice of Professional Engineering in Canada is legislated at the provincial/territorial level and is therefore the responsibility of the constituent members, including NAPEG. Engineers Canada exists so that its 12 constituent associations, including NAPEG, have support for advancing the engineering profession and its self-regulation in the public interest. EC also provides a national “focal point” for leadership on matters affecting the engineering profession and facilitates the provision of member services. The following highlight some of the activities at Engineers Canada during the past year.

Policy Governance

After the work of the Engineers Canada Synergy Task Force, which was created to study the governance, resources and mandate of Engineers Canada, the organization implemented the Carver Policy Governance model. The model is a practical approach for the Board to ensure organizational performance reflects the best interests of the owners (the constituent associations). It also allows for better connection between the goals of the constituent associations and the execution of work on the part of Engineers Canada. The Board established policies that set out goals (Ends Policies), Governance Process, Board-Management Delegation and Executive Limitations. These policies are comprehensive. There are no Board policies outside of these four categories.

The Board approved the Ends policies in June 2013. At its February 2014 meeting, the Board fine-tuned its Ends policies in order to ensure they reflect what is to be achieved rather than how to achieve it. The four categories of policies are listed in Engineers Canada’s Board Policy Governance Manual, and Engineers Canada is publishing information pieces on policy governance. The first article focuses on the Ends policies. Upcoming articles will outline the other elements of the Policy Governance process in more detail. Organizational Realignment To better achieve the Ends policies, Engineers Canada has been realigned into two divisions: Regulatory Affairs and Business Services. This resulted in the appointment of Kathryn Sutherland as Vice-President, Regulatory Affairs, and Guy Legault as Vice-President, Business Services.

Ms. Sutherland was Legislative Counsel/Advisor at Engineers Canada. She previously provided legal services to clients across Ontario and brings knowledge of the engineering profession as the chair of PEO’s Registration Committee and Fees Mediation Committee, and a member of PEO’s National Framework Task Force. She leads a team of professionals in assisting the engineering regulators in developing and using the best regulatory practices to protect and serve the public interest.

Mr. Legault has over 20 years of strategic and operational leadership experience in regulated professional and industry associations, including leading the Canadian Payments Association and the Certified General Accountants Association of Canada. He brings expertise in strategy and policy development, governance, member and stakeholder outreach, communications, project management, and operational excellence, including financial, human resources, information technology and risk management. He leads a team of professionals in promoting public awareness that engineers practise with competency and integrity, that their work benefits society, that engineering is an attractive profession and in providing support services to Engineers Canada programs and processes, constituent associations and partners.

New Business Name In the fall of 2013, Engineers Canada became one of the first not-for-profit organizations to be incorporated under the new Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act. As part of this incorporation, Engineers Canada became the legal business name of the organization and its previous name (Canadian Council of Professional Engineers) is no longer used. Everyone at the organization thanks the Board and the constituent associations for their support of this initiative.



New Websites Engineers Canada launched its new website on November 4, 2013. The content was completely rewritten and redesigned. More changes are forthcoming as Engineers Canada moves forward with the organizational realignment. A Board meeting microsite was also launched this February that provides the Board with all upcoming meeting information and materials.

Career Focus The Career Focus program was introduced on December 9. It features a web-based tool created by Pathfinder Career System to help students determine their fit with an engineering career. It compares their responses to the personality and behavioural traits of thousands of top performers in more than 500 jobs, and generates the Predictor of Performance report that suggests suitable career paths. This is the first in a series of career-oriented services to be offered by Engineers Canada’s Career Focus program.

Canadian Framework for Licensure The Canadian Framework for Licensure is an initiative to develop a dynamic model of regulation for the constituent associations. This Framework is needed to develop a process to facilitate national harmonization, ensure full mobility, make enforcement easier and more effective, provide leadership in labour force developments, and to register all engineers with the profession. This model will enhance their ability to regulate the practice of professional engineering to better serve and protect the public interest.

Work on the Canadian Framework for Licensure is progressing well, with many endorsed elements now being further developed by creating “implementation documents”. These are suggestions on how to turn the high level Key Considerations into programs and processes that the constituent associations can use in their daily operations. Conclusion Engineers Canada’s Annual General Meeting was held in Yellowknife in June 2013. EC would like to thank NAPEG and its members for the fantastic work done in hosting this national meeting. At the AGM Jim Beckett of Alberta took over as President of EC and Paul Amyotte of Nova Scotia was elected as President-Elect. The 2014 Annual General Meeting of Engineers Canada will be held in Saint John, NB, in May. Engineers Canada is committed to providing effective national coordination and a strong national voice for our profession, and thanks NAPEG and the other constituent associations for their collaboration. Visit www.engineerscanada.ca for more information, and to sign up to Engineers Canada’s newsletter. You can also follow Engineers Canada on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube.

Aside from normal Board duties, I have been serving on the Audit Committee and the Joint Committee of the Assembly of First Nations and Engineers Canada. My term on the Board expires at the May 2014 AGM. It has been a privilege to represent NAPEG on the Board of Engineers Canada. Respectfully submitted, Lloyd Henderson, P.Eng., FEC

Engineers Canada Director’s Report continued

Many thanks to Lloyd for serving as Director to Engineers Canada for the past three years.


Geoscientists Canada is the national organization, created by the provincial and territorial regulatory Associations, to work toward consensus and consistency on regulatory matters. Regulation of the practice of professional Geoscience in Canada is legislated at the provincial/territorial level and is therefore the role of regulator is the responsibility of the constituent members, including NAPEG. However, Geoscientists Canada was formed to provide support for joint activities, allowing the associations to have a forum where they can develop consistent standards and best practices, but a forum that has no regulatory authority. Geoscientists Canada also provides a national “focal point” for leadership on matters affecting the profession and facilitates the provision of member services. The following highlight some of the activities at Geoscientists Canada: A large project is being conducted through the Canadian Geoscience Standards Board, a standing board of Geoscientists Canada. Funding for the project was acquired from Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) to development of assessment support tools for the consideration of internationally-trained (and Canadian-trained) geoscientists applying for professional licensure (“The AST Project”). This year, the draft competency profile for Geoscientists was presented for consultation to the associations, including a French translation of the documents. Following the first consultation phase of the project, the competency profile will be presented to the profession for additional input to be followed by a diagnostic study. The diagnostic study component of the AST project will be conducted by APEGA, APEGBC and APGO, the largest registering agencies in Canada. They will identify internationally-trained geoscientists who have joined in the last five years to form a test group. The purpose of the focus-group work is to help inform a better design for the national on-line survey of internationally-trained geoscientists that will follow. A new phase to the AST project is just being initiated. In this phase, a committee of the Canadian Geoscience Standards Board with Geoscience Admissions Officials will start work on developing a work plan to address the “Gaps” issue – i.e. how academic gaps in an applicant’s geoscience education might be compensated for by subsequent geoscience work experience. An article describing work to date and current focus points of AST project is available from NAPEG. Another Geoscience Canada initiative is the Joint Practice Definition Task Force, which is reviewing definitions of geoscience practice across the CAs and assembling information on activity thresholds that trigger the requirement to register (if you are not a P.Geo yet anywhere), and to register locally (if you are already a P.Geo in another jurisdiction). These fundamental definitions have not been codified and this has left many questions when discussing other registration related issues. A report is anticipated at the Board of Directors in June 2014. Tabulated results from the legal study of professional geoscience definitions undertaken by Field and Co LLP, through the assistance of APEGA, has been received. The report is now being reviewed by the chair, before being forwarded to the Geoscience Definition Committee for full consideration. Other committee activities include: The Governance Committee, which has completed a new set of governance documents including draft compliance forms, a new version of the bylaws revisions and a comments grids (that tabulates all CA comments, subsequent legal guidance and rationale for treatment of change suggestions).


GEOSCIENTISTS CANADA DIRECTOR’S REPORT Hendrik Falck, P.Geo., FGC


Geoscientists Canada Director’s Report continued

The Securities Committee, which has been monitoring changes in the securities acts including Letter to the CSA with comments on the proposed amendments to NI 51-101 concluded and submitted. The Strategic Planning Committee, which is engaged in a strategic planning exercise. Two planning exercises have been completed with facilitation by Greg MacGillivray of S2S – Strategies to Success. Presentation of the plan has been conducted by the directors with plans to discuss and approve the results anticipated at the Annual general Meeting in Regina. Finally, there are some other activities that Geoscientists Canada will be participating in. The National Association of State Boards of Geology provides a national accreditation exam in the United States. Geoscientists Canada has been participating in the continual maintenance of this exam and the Task Analysis that is regularly conducted to ensure that the exams remain current and reflective of a changing profession. A survey of geologists will go out in early September for completion by early October; this will be the 4th of these five-yearly US surveys of practitioners that Canada will participate in. In addition Geoscientists Canada has sponsored and organized a Professional Affairs session at GAC-MAC 2014 in Fredericton. Five presentations have been received for the session. The next meeting of the Board will be held in Saskatchewan in June and I am honoured to be representing Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. I look forward to reporting more to you in the future. Respectfully submitted,

Hendrik Falck, P.Geo., FGC


NAPEGG Education Foundation

The NAPEGG Education Foundation was established in 2000 as a Charitable Organization that issues official receipts for income tax purposes. Gifts are solicited from members and the public. The objects of the NAPEGG Education Foundation are to promote training and education in engineering and geoscience, and in particular, 1. to provide for scholarships or financial assistance for students from the Northwest Territories and Nunavut;

and 2. to cooperate with other organizations with similar objects. The Foundation bylaws were revised and adopted by the membership at the First Annual General Meeting held in Yellowknife on November 23, 2006. Since 2000 the Foundation has awarded many scholarships to students from the NWT and Nunavut who are attending university in engineering or geosciences programs. Initially, the scholarships were one thousand dollars ($1,000) each. The amount has been increased on a regular basis and the scholarships are now two thousand dollars ($2,000) each.

At the present time two (2) scholarships are awarded annually. Both scholarships have been named in memory of past NAPEGG members who were extremely active in the Association. The Bob Spence Memorial Scholarship was established in 2005. Bob was a Founding Member of NAPEGG, Past President, Past Executive Director, friend of many, and a strong advocate for professionalism and high ethical standards.

The Mel Brown Memorial Scholarship was established in 2002. Mel was a Founding Member and a Life Member of NAPEGG. He also served as the first Executive Director of NAPEGG from 1981 to 1990.

A new committee has been organized for the Education Foundation. You can expect to hear more about the Foundation over the next year. We encourage registrants and members of the public to donate to the Foundation to assist with building a fund that can do more to promote the sciences and an interest in engineering, geology and geophysics in the North.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT

Chairperson, Michele Guy, P.Eng.

The Mission of the Professional Development Committee: Provides a forum of excellence for the information exchange amongst NAPEG members in order to develop, stimulate, monitor and promote ideas, concepts and programs for professional development and to create opportunities for the advancement of professional development at all levels for the Association and its members throughout the jurisdictions.

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” Benjamin Franklin

Engineers and Geoscientists are at the forefront of development. We, literally, change the world. Through continuing Professional Development, we improve our lives as well as the lives of others. It has been my great honour to Chair the Professional Development Committee for these past three years and I look forward to watching the next Chairperson continue to lead the initiatives identified by the Committee, particularly in light of the dramatic changes happening in the North. Devolution…Climate Change…Resource Development are not challenges for the faint of heart. We have demonstrated, and will continue to demonstrate that we are prepared for these new challenges. Achievements in 2013-2014

Our Committee and the NAPEG staff organized the well-attended and highly successful 2013 Professional Development Conference, ‘Project Delivery in the North’, held on May 16-17, 2013 at the Explorer Hotel. Mayor Mark Heyck, in his first year as Mayor for the City of Yellowknife, provided a presentation on their Municipal Infrastructure Experience. Tom Hoefer, Executive Director of the Chamber of Mines honoured us with the Key Note Address on ‘Our Mining Future’ which was then followed by two days of well-balanced and informative sessions on a variety of interesting and pertinent topics for all practicing engineers and geoscientists, and particularly those working in the North. Climate Change and the Environment continue to be a highlights of our discussions in addition to evolving project delivery methods such as Design-Build. Lunch and Learns and Other Talks

a. March 2012 - Alan Fitzgerald - challenges and logistics of building and operating the ice road; April 19, 2012 - Dave Robson - performance concrete mix submittals; February 12, 2013 - Walt Humphries - History of Mining; March 28, 2013 - Myra Berrub - Fort Simpson Solar Panel; April 17, 2013 - Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in Canada

b. September 17-18, 2013 - Law and Ethics Seminar

c. November 13, 2012 - Camsell Talk 2012 - “Geoheritage: Celebrating Our Common Bond with Planet Earth” by Dr. John Calder; November 19, 2013 - Camsell Talk 2013 – From Pole to Pole: A Tale of Exploring Other Worlds by Exploring our Own" by Dr. Gordon "Oz" Osinski.

Goals for the Future We look forward to identifying the new Chairperson for the Professional Development Committee to welcoming two new

members on the Committee. We will work on the 2015 Professional Development Conference to be held in May 2015. We would like stronger

representation from the Geoscience profession, and anticipate alot of discussion surrounding the Transportation Infrastructure, activity in the Beaufort Sea with the opening of the Northwest Passage, and observations on the effects of Devolution to the Industry at large.

Our target is four ‘Lunch and Learn’ Sessions for the year. We will continue to inform registrants about the Continuing Professional Development Program (CPD), a flexible and

diverse program that allows our registrants and members to stay current in their field of expertise. In collaboration with CENT, we will support another PD Course that brings value to our professionals and Members-In-

Training. The Cold Regions Engineering Course is anticipated for the fall of this year, 2014. Respectfully Submitted, Michele Guy, P.E., P. Eng.


ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE REPORT Chairperson, John Carr, P.Eng.

Within our Code of Ethics, the Rules of Conduct state that: “Professional Engineers and Professional Geoscientists: 1. shall have proper regard in all their work for the safety and welfare of all persons and for the physical environment affected by such work.” The Terms of Reference states: "At the direction of Council, the Environment Committee provides a forum on Environment issues for information exchange amongst members and the general public so that the objects of NAPEG are met." Awareness of the effects of human activities on the environment is growing globally. Engineers and geoscientists are well-positioned to be a bridge between an increasingly concerned public and active environmental interests on one hand and active development interests on the other. Our traditional reluctance to be involved in the dialogue of decision making has been outstripped by society’s need for

engineers and geoscientists to participate and contribute as responsible citizens and professionals. In particular, Climate Change has been referred to as ‘the greatest collective challenge we face as a human family’ by the United Nations Secretary General. In this regard the Environment Committee provides an advisory service concerning environmental issues to the public, NAPEG members, and Council. Some of the activities of the committee, or its members, since the last report are:

Reviewed three nominations and made recommendation to Council that the Environmental Excellence Award be given for CFS Alert Constructed Wetland Waste Water Treatment System

Organized speakers for the 2014 Professional Development Conference on environmental issues

Participation in the Engineers Canada teleconferences of Environment and Sustainability Officials

Engagement in continuing discussions regarding the role of NAPEG with respect to environmental issues

Provided a paper to Council on consideration of climate change in designs for projects

Received updates related to Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Working Groups and NRCan Adaptation Plenary Working Group and PIEVC On-Line Workshop

Reviewed and contributed input on Engineers Canada Draft Model Guide on Principles of Climate Change Adaptation

Respectfully submitted, John Carr, P.Eng.


DISCIPLINE COMMITTEE REPORT Chairperson, Gary Vivian, P.Geo.

The NAPEG Discipline Committee authority comes from Part Four of the Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act. Members of the Discipline Committee are appointed by Council; however, no members of Council may serve on the Discipline Committee. In the event that a matter goes to a Hearing, three members of Council serve as the Board of Inquiry to hear the matter. The Engineers and Geoscientists Act of Nunavut authorizes NAPEG to deal with any matters related to practice in Nunavut, including discipline.

Membership on the Discipline Committee is stable and includes various disciplines with members who have experience practicing in both the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

Council approved a recommended guideline in the form of a brochure that is available to practitioner’s who have a complaint against them.

There is on-going review of guidelines, brochures and procedures.

The Discipline Committee fully complies with the Act in determining validity of a “complaint” and adhering to tenets of the Act with matters that fall into the “complaint” category.

The committee hosted a Law and Ethics Seminar on September 17 and 18, 2013. Our thanks to APEGA, APEGBC and APEGS for supporting our event.

Current state of discipline affairs and future actions

A case was completed at the Investigative Committee level in the Fall 2013 and another is near completion. The current Act offers alternative methods of concluding a case without going to a Board of Inquiry when it can be concluded to the satisfaction of all parties.

An Investigative Committee has begun its work on a complaint received in 2013. Investigation has not yet begun on a new complaint received in 2014. The committee is currently updating the guidelines and intends to have a document before Council within the next month or two. Respectfully submitted, Gary Vivian, P.Geo. Chair Discipline Committee


PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE REPORT Chairperson, Elaine Carr, P.Eng.

The NAPEG Public Relations committee (also known as the PR committee) is in the process of being rebranded the Outreach Committee, so look out for a new name in the coming year as the committee and Council work on the new Terms of Reference. In late November 2013, NAPEG members in the MIT committee and the PR committee again volunteered for the Skills Canada Grade 8 girls & boys conferences to give young people an idea of what engineers do for a living, and hopefully interesting them in considering it as a career choice in the future. It is worth noting that this year marked the fewest number of participants in the Grade 8 girls group that listed Engineering as a career interest (often in favour of hairdressing, photography, and cooking). This resulted in approximately one-third of the previous years numbers of girls taking one Engineering workshop that was put on (this is a major decline from any of the previous 10 years that this workshop has been held). This was a somewhat disturbing turn of events, and it is worth noting that equal opportunity in Engineering and Geosciences is something that starts with attitudes fostered at very early stages in students’ lives. So, please take some time to talk to the young girls in your life about opportunities in Engineering and Geosciences and why these careers aren’t just for boys.

It has been another successful year for the NAPEG PR Committee. National Engineering and Geoscience Week was celebrated from March 1st to March 8th, 2014. The PR Committee, with the help of many volunteers and tireless NAPEG staff held a Popsicle Stick Model Bridge Building Competition and a “Can You Build, Yellowknife?” Competition during that week. Volunteers patiently peopled a NAPEG table in Centre Square Mall for two Saturdays in a row while each of the competitions was being held in the space donated for us by the Yellowknife Inn. The 13th Annual Bridge Building competition was a great success, though the absence of long-time committee member and volunteer John Schnell was deeply felt, as he has relocated out of the NWT. The “Can You Build, Yellowknife?” event is in its 4th year, and was a great success with many contributions for the food

bank. Our annual giveaway item in coordination with Engineers Canada was a Rubik’s Cube, which gave hours and hours of fun or frustration to many who picked it up from the NAPEG booth volunteers. This year, a number of volunteers generously stepped up to make the National Engineering and Geoscience Week a success, with special thanks going to Sudhir Jha and Kam So for their contributions of time and effort, to the booth volunteers who engaged the crowds, and to the NAPEG Admin staff for their constant support. Bridge Building Competition Highlights: 27 entries in five categories from seven communities

across two territories; Strongest number of entries from the elementary and

middle school categories; First, Second and Third place winners in various

categories came from Dettah, Fort Simpson, Hall Beach, Clyde River and Yellowknife.



PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE continued

Can You Build, Yellowknife Highlights: Two teams competed: Stantec and Williams Engineering; Structures depicted the Con Mine Shaft with the Northern

Lights, and a Minion on a Vintage Skidoo; Structures were left up for a week for the enjoyment of all; Just over $3,000.00 in food and cash donations for the food

bank were raised. Look for the NEGW Rubik’s Cubes to make a second appearance at the Yellowknife Trade Show in May, where the Public Relations committee will also be seeking volunteers to engage with the public about NAPEG, Engineering, Geosciences, and all related topics imaginable. On that note, I would like to end with some ideas for NAPEG booth volunteers for things to talk about when manning a booth: Ask students whether they enjoy their science and math

courses, and encourage them to take courses in Math/Physics/Biology/Chemistry at the 30 levels in Grade 12 to keep their options open.

Talk to kids and adults about the space program (and any-thing else that is prominent in the media at a given time) and how engineering is integral to its development.

Relate everyday things that we take for granted or love (from plumbing to iPhones) to Engineering and Geoscience careers.

Share your excitement and enthusiasm for science with everyone, and let them know what is so amazing about it.

And don’t limit these discussions to NAPEG booths, feel free to engage with friends and acquaintances on these topics every day. Thanks again to all the booth volunteers, NAPEG staff, PR Committee members, and to all of you who do the

public relations work for NAPEG every day by talking to the people you know about what professionals in Engineering and Geosciences actually do in the world. Respectfully submitted, Elaine Carr, P.Eng. Chair, Public Relations Committee

MEMBERS-IN-TRAINING AND NEW PROFESSIONAL COMMITTEE

Chairperson, Nick Shopian, MIT

As spring approaches, it is time to look back on another year of the MIT Committee. Some members have succeeded in becoming professionals, or have taken opportunities in other locations; while others have come to the North to continue their path towards becoming Professional Engineering and Geoscientists.

There were several events the MIT Committee took part in, including Can You Build Yellowknife and the annual Bridge Building Competition. These events allowed an opportunity for the public to be exposed to what NAPEG is, and to promote engineering and geoscience in the North. MIT and NAPEG members also volunteered time to help bring the message that the role of NAPEG in the community is an important one. The ongoing develop-ment of the engineering education toolkit gives us a great interactive, educational way to captivate and encourage youth to take an interest in engineering.

Another great event which the MIT committee hosted was the ever popular Rings and Wings at the Top Knight. This event is aimed at allowing all of the various NAPEG members a chance to network and encourages participation in the mostly volunteer organization. The event raises donations for NAPEG’s Education Foundation, and is now a staple of the MIT committee, and usually brings out a large number of the local NAPEG professionals as well. This year was no different, and the event was another great success. We are always appreciative of the support for the committee by NAPEG and its members; without the donations given to allow the committee to run, we would not have the chance to do any outreach into the community. This support not only helps us meet, but also gives us the resources to try new ideas, like our science toolkit, which worked well for us at the aforementioned events. I would like to thank all of the MIT’s on the committee, as without you, we would not have a committee. It is with your support that we are given a voice in NAPEG, and it is with this voice that we are able to aid in guiding the development of both NAPEG and engineering in the North. Respectfully submitted, Nick Shopian, MIT

Vincent Tam, P.Eng. and Nick Shopian, MIT during Engineering and Geoscience Week events.


MEMBERSHIP AND ENFORCEMENT COMMITTEE Chairperson, Peter Bengts, P.Eng.

Membership Applications for member or licensee status in NAPEG are, except for unusual circumstances, directed to one of two application streams: Where an applicant is a member in good standing

in another Canadian jurisdiction, they are granted membership or licensee status, as applicable, provided they complete an application, including an essay demonstrating their understanding of the applicable legislation and Northern conditions, and submit with the appropriate application fee and a current resume.

Where an applicant is not a member of another

Canadian jurisdiction, the file is referred to NAPEG’s Board of Examiners (APEGA) for an assessment of experience and academic qualifications. The applicant is required to write a National Professional Practice exam, complete an essay as above and successfully complete any technical exams as may be assessed by the Board of Examiners.

The Committee also deals with, and makes recommendations to Council, on applications which are unusual, are queried as to the exams assessed or which are problematic. Non-Payment of Annual Dues Unfortunately, on a yearly basis, there will be several registered individuals or firms who have not paid annual dues by March 31 despite invoices and reminders. The committee will recommend that the names be struck from the register. The Committee may, on request, recommend deferring fees where an individual is unemployed or has returned to school full time. Where an individual or firm is struck from the register for non-payment of dues, reinstatement requires not only full payment of dues, but also application fees. The person is also required to submit a completed application form and current resume.

Enforcement The key element in enforcement is the identification of unregistered individuals or firms who are practicing in the Northwest Territories and/or Nunavut. Our Executive Director and NAPEG staff obtain this information from contacts in the various bodies which receive plans and reports, from various publications which are routinely scrutinized, and to a lesser extent, from reports by members. The low instance of reporting by members remains a concern and we would encourage all members to be vigilant and to report observed unregistered work to NAPEG. In the majority of cases, contact by NAPEG results in registration. In problematic cases, the Committee may direct that NAPEG’s legal counsel initiate correspondence with the individual or firm. As a last resort, the Committee may recommend that Council initiate legal action to cease work. The Committee may also recommend that the matter be referred to the individual’s or firm’s home Association for possible disciplinary action in the jurisdiction.

Total Membership includes Members, Licensees, Members-in-Training and Permit Holders. It also includes Non-Practicing Members and Licensees, Life Members and Distinguished Life Members.

NAPEG REINSTATEMENT POLICY Continuation of Membership ad Enforcement Committee Report

The NAPEG Reinstatement Policy, as follows, provides a clear, fair and consistent guideline for reinstatement and provides assistance to the Membership and Enforcement Committee and Executive Director/Registrar in making recommendation to Council. A request for reinstatement must be accompanied by a completed and signed application form, current

resume, Canadian government issued identification, and the application fee, if circumstance requires payment of the application fee (as below).

Staff will confirm standing of the applicant in other Canadian jurisdictions based on where the applicant is/has

been licensed to practice. The applicant identifies other jurisdictions on the application form. The application fee will be waived if the registrant resigned in good standing within the previous two years

(24 months). If it has been more than two years, the applicant must include the application fee with the request outlined in the first bullet.

The application fee will not be waived if the registrant was struck from the register. If an applicant has a restriction on their practice in another jurisdiction, NAPEG will enforce that restriction

until the registrant can show that the matter is resolved and the other jurisdiction confirms. An applicant for reinstatement who has not been registered in a Canadian jurisdiction at any time in the

previous five years (60 months) may have their file forwarded to the Board of Examiners and, when forwarded, the applicant will have their qualifications examined by the Board of Examiners and may be assigned examinations.

Rationale for the Policy: Clarification of issues dealing with fees to be paid and application procedures for registrants who seek to be reinstated as registrants of NAPEG.

Deferral or Waiving of Annual Dues Payment

There are some situations when a member may be able to have their annual dues payment waived or deferred. If you think your situation may meet the requirement, please request a copy of the NAPEG policy which includes the application form. Reminder: Annual dues are to be paid by January 1 each year. Dues not paid by February 28 are assessed a late fee. If dues are not paid by March 31, you could be struck from the register.

Independent Auditor’s Report To: The Members of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists I have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists which comprises the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2013 and the statements of operations, changes in net assets, cash flow for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for not-for-profit organizations, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable to prepare financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. I am also required to comply with applicable ethical requirements. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparations and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion. Opinion In my opinion these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists as of December 31, 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for a not-for-profit organization.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To: The Members of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists I have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists, Education Foundation which comprises the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2013 and the statements of receipts and disbursements, changes in net assets and cash flow for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable to prepare financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. I am also required to comply with applicable ethical requirements. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparations and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion. Opinion In my opinion these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists Education Foundation as at December 31, 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations. Yellowknife, Northwest Territories Paul Fleury & Co May 14, 2014 Certified General Accountant The accompanying notes are an integral part of these Financial Statements.
