SUMMARY:SIA Saskatoon Branch - Invasive Species Management - Nodding Thistle
DESCRIPTION:SIA Saskatoon Branch is proud to partner with the Meewasin Valley Authority to bring you this exciting activity\, Invasive Species Management – Nodding Thistle on July 23\, 2025\, at 4:30 pm. \nNodding thistle is an invasive plant that can sometimes grow as tall as a Christmas tree. While its flowers are beautiful\, it seeds rapidly and needs to be removed. We will supply hand tools that help knock the seed heads off the thistle\, making removal easier\, more effective\, and they are incredibly satisfying to knock down.  \nWe will enjoy the beauty of the Meewasin Valley while helping to support biodiversity in the area.  \nLearn from Meewasin’s team as they share fascinating facts while we explore one of our favorite spots on the river. \nEvent Registration \nThis activity qualifies as a branch activity for articling milestones and as CPD.

SUMMARY:SIA Saskatoon Branch - Invasive Species Management - Baby's Breath Removal
DESCRIPTION:The SIA Saskatoon Branch is proud to partner with the Meewasin Valley Authority to bring you this exciting CPD opportunity.  Join them on Wednesday\, July 16\, 2025\, at 4:30 pm\, at Crocus Prairie. \nBaby’s-breath is an invasive species that thrives in basic soil and full sunlight. Although it is a beautiful flower often used in decorative arrangements\, once it invades land\, it reduces native grasses and forage for wildlife. When the seeds mature\, the plant breaks off and rolls like a tumbleweed\, spreading thousands of seeds over long distances.  \nWe will supply shovels to help dig out the roots\, which is important to do as deeply as possible to prevent Baby’s-breath from returning. Our efforts will focus on removing this invasive plant and helping to restore native vegetation in the area.  \nJoin Meewasin and work alongside their resource management team\, who will share fascinating facts about the region. \nEvent Registration \nThis activity counts as a branch event for articling milestones and as CPD.

SUMMARY:SIA NW Branch Webinar - Complications with Chloride Delineation
DESCRIPTION:Join the SIA NW Branch for this informational webinar! \nThe SIA NW Branch is proud host a webinar on Wednesday\, June 18\, 2025\, at 12:00 pm (noon)\, with guest speaker Jonathan Donahue\, P.Geo\, Senior Environmental Scientist with Equilibrium Environmental Inc. Jonathan will speak on “Complications with Chloride Delineation and the Influence of Non-Oil and Gas Sources“. \nWhere: Online \nTime: 12:00 pm \nCost: No Charge \nRegistration Deadline: June 18\, 2025\, at 12:00 pm \nAbout the presentation: This presentation will discuss some evolving techniques used in recent years to assist in the delineation and identification of chloride impacts in the potential presence of a range of non-oil and gas sources\, including cases where naturally occurring chloride appears to be elevated. Some of the specific techniques to be discussed include chloride isotopes\, bromide analysis\, examination of different ion ratios\, and the targeted use of a range of other lines-of-evidence. By better understanding the potential for these non-oil-and-gas or natural chloride sources it allows for the more effective use of investigation and remediation efforts to return a site to equivalent land capability. It also ensures that chloride impacts are not being over-remediated\, thereby keeping unnecessary soils out of landfills and ensuring all environmental receptors are protected and land can be returned to productive use in a sustainable manner. \nThis activity counts as a Branch Activity for Articling Milestones and CPD. \nRegister:
