The course will start with a classroom session learning how to classify wetlands using the physical and biological characteristics (e.g.\, hydric soils\, hydric plant indicators\, and hydrology). These field parameters will be applied to protocols including the Canadian National Wetland Inventory that can be used in the field to describe\, classify\, and delineate wetlands. The course will include 3-4 field site visits around the Revelstoke area to local wetlands to practice classification and delineation processes using site forms and the Wetlands of British Columbia (LMH 52) guidebook. Functional wetland assessments (including the Wetland Ecosystem Services Protocol) and condition assessments will also be briefly discussed.

The standard certification programs\, while necessary and essential\, focus on the safety aspects and how to conduct this form of fish sampling in a safe manner. Left out\, however\, are strategies and tactics to actually capture the wild fish in a stream. To assist practitioners in capturing more fish when doing this work\, NRTG’s Advanced Electrofishing MicroCourse provides students with lessons learned over decades on how to effectively capture fish using this tool.

The process involves broad and meaningful engagement with different sectors\, governments\, universities\, Indigenous groups\, and communities from across the country to develop authoritative reports that assess the latest knowledge on how and why Canada’s climate is changing; the impacts of these changes on our communities\, environment and economy; and how we are adapting. To wrap up the scoping activities that have been underway since May 2023 and ensure we hear from as many people as possible\, the Assessment Secretariat is hosting a virtual scoping workshop. The goal of this workshop is to gather ideas\, perspectives\, and feedback on the overall scope and approach for the next Assessment process (2023-2028) to help ensure that the final Assessment products best meet the needs of intended audiences\, while helping to advance adaptation in Canada.

In the coming years\, the world’s top miners are expected to spend over $50 billion (USD) closing mines and managing legacy sites. For many stakeholders and rightsholders\, there is a growing expectation that successful closure plans will go beyond remediation and short-term technical solutions to consider the complex socio-economic aspects of closure. Best practice planning is now expected to include measures that support a just transition for workers\, communities\, and governments as the jobs\, taxes\, royalties\, and philanthropic investments associated with producing mines diminish and then disappear. In this course presented by EGBC in Partnership with BRIMM Mining Education at UBC\, participants will examine the social and environmental dimensions of mine closure.
