ater is the veryessence of life. AndE. John Bliss, P.Eng.,FEC, spent 19 years

of his career ensuring the residentsof the City of Fredericton couldtap into a high-quality water supply that was always clean,safe and ready to drink.

As Fredericton’s city engineerfrom 1979 to 1998, Mr. Blisswas instrumental in removingmanganese in Fredericton'sdrinking water by overseeingconstruction of the largest manganese removal plant inNorth America. Water qualityimprovements continued underhis leadership with breakpoint

chlorination, backflow prevention and the introductionof modern construction andmaintenance processes.

The city’s mayor, BradWoodside, said that “under Mr. Bliss’ watch, the quality of(Fredericton’s) water supplyimproved greatly.”

City Councillor Scott McConaghy,former chair of Fredericton’spublic safety and environmentcommittee said that Mr. Bliss “setthe bar high for our water utilityand deserves a lot of credit forthe good reputation it enjoys."

"Naturally, I'm very pleased," Mr.Bliss said. "This plant is importantbecause it continues to keep upwith the demand for good drinkingwater, and it is complementaryto the William L. Barrett plant at the other end of the city which

was reaching capacity. This willensure the future of good drinkingwater (in Fredericton)."

Mr. Bliss also served the people ofFredericton as a City Councillorfrom 1971 to 1973 and volunteeredon numerous boards, committeesand charitable organizations.

A Beaverbrook Scholar, Mr. Blissgraduated from the University ofNew Brunswick in 1955 with adegree in civil engineering. Hestarted his career with theprovincial government beforejoining Canada Cement Companyand working in Moncton andToronto. In the early 1960s, Mr. Bliss moved to Woodstock,Ontario, to work as a consulting

engineer and a contractor. Hereturned to Fredericton in 1965as an associate with ADI Limited—a position he held for 14 years.

In 1979, Mr. Bliss was appointedcity engineer for Fredericton andit was here that he enjoyed hismost notable career successesbefore retiring in February 1998.

He supervised extensive renovationsto the city’s aging water treatmentplant on Smythe Street. Theplant, which was built in 1883,was expanded to house pressurefiltration equipment for theremoval of manganese from thecity’s Wilmot Park well water.With its new status as NorthAmerica's largest manganeseremoval plant, the facility alsobegan serving Fredericton’s NorthSide—replacing numerous NorthSide wells. Mr. Bliss also supervisedthe plant’s expansion in 1993 toaccommodate the new increased-capacity filtration equipment.

In 2007, the City of Frederictonannounced plans for a secondwater treatment facility locatedat 300 Waterloo Row. Completedin 2008, the new $8-million plantwas named the E. John Bliss WaterTreatment Plant in honour of Mr.Bliss’ exemplary work on behalfof Frederictonians for 19 years.

New Brunswick’s Minister ofJustice and Consumer Affairs,Bernard LeBlanc, praised thecity's decision to name the facilityafter Mr. Bliss."In naming thistreatment plant after John,(Fredericton is) recognizing thework and the record of a manwho played such an importantrole in securing a continuingsupply of clean, safe water.”

The E. John Bliss Water TreatmentPlant represents the largest singlewater and sewer construction

avid Crandall, P.Eng.,FEC, has spent decadesadvancing and promotingthe engineering profession

not only in New Brunswick, butalso in Prince Edward Island andacross Canada.

His 30-year career has taken himfrom a summer student at CrandallEngineering in Moncton to chiefoperating officer, executive vice-president and general manager of ADI Limited inFredericton. He has also servedon the ADI Group Inc. Board ofDirectors for many years.

Mr. Crandall is currently responsiblefor the day-to-day operation of acompany of 11 offices and morethan 360 employees. In his capacityas executive vice-president ofADI Limited, he has attendedconferences and annual meetingsacross Canada to share engineeringknowledge, advance professional

mobility and strengthen profes-sional ethics and standards.

Mr. Crandall has also served onnumerous boards and committeesof Engineers and GeoscientistsNew Brunswick (APEGNB), the

Association of ConsultingEngineering Companies—NewBrunswick (ACEC-NB), EngineersCanada and the Association ofConsulting EngineeringCompanies—Canada.

He was elected president of bothEngineers and Geoscientists NewBrunswick and ACEC-NB.

One of Mr. Crandall’s milestoneachievements on behalf of APEGNBwas overseeing the construction ofAPEGNB’s new headquarters (2007).The site conditions, method ofproject delivery and “green building”constraints required Mr. Crandalland the Association’s executivedirector, Andrew McLeod, to spendmany hours on this successfuland award-winning project.

While based in Moncton, Mr.Crandall volunteered for APEGNB’sMoncton Branch and served asCouncillor. During this time, healso served on the Board ofConsulting Engineers of NewBrunswick (formerly CENB, nowACEC-NB) first as a director

(1995-1999) and then as president (1997-1998).

With his experience in bothAPEGNB and ACEC-NB, itseemed only natural that Mr.Crandall later serve as the chairof the Consulting PracticeCommittee for APEGNB.

Recognition of Mr. Crandall’sservice to the profession startedearly—during his university years.

The Association of ProfessionalEngineers of Nova Scotia (APENS)awarded him the Best Senior DesignProject upon graduation from theTechnical University of Nova Scotia.He remained active in engineeringorganizations and was also recognized in 1992 by EngineersPEI who presented him with theirYoung Engineer AchievementAward. This award was in recognition of engineering-relatedachievement, service to the profes-sion, service to the communityand enhancement of the qualityof life through engineering.

Mr. Crandall’s public volunteercontributions include membershipin Rotary International—anorganization which also saw him become president of theCharlottetown Royal Rotary Club.He also served on the Board ofDirectors for the GreaterCharlottetown Area Chamber of Commerce.

Awards and accolades have alsobeen forthcoming as a result of Mr. Crandall’s leadership. ADI has received awards fortechnical, management andenvironmental accomplishments.

At the national level, Mr. Crandallwas part of the project team thatwon the ACEC Award of Meritfor the City of Miramichi’sNorthside Aerated Lagoon. This

“Engineering is a profession that rewards not only the practitioner but society as a whole. We, as engineers, get toapply our creative and technical skills to address importantchallenges facing humanity. Society benefits from increasedhealth and wealth generated by the work of engineers. I feelit’s only fair that I give back to the profession that his givenme, my community and this province so much.”

The Service to the Profession Award is presented to a professional engineer/geoscientistwho, in the opinion of the Association, has enhanced the role of APEGNB and other professionalassociations and societies such as Engineers Canada and Geoscientists Canada. The awardrecognizes outstanding service and dedication to the New Brunswick engineering/geoscienceprofessions through New Brunswick/Canadian professional, consulting or technical associationsand societies.

project also won both the ACEC-NB and APEGNB Awardsof Technical Excellence.

The Brookfield Compost Facilitywas awarded the CompostingCouncil of Canada Award ofExcellence and the Benefit toSociety Award from theAssociation of ConsultingEngineering Companies—NewBrunswick (ACEC-NB).

Other award-winning projects withwhich he has been associatedinclude the:• Stormwater Master Plan forthe City of Moncton (winner ofthe ACEC-NB Showcase Awardfor Technical Excellence)

• Environmental InfrastructureProject for the Village of Alma(ACEC-NB Benefit to SocietyAward winner), and

• Dieppe Industrial Park (thewinner of the ACEC-NBAward for Innovation)

Published papers/presentationsinclude seven scientific journalsand conferences.

Mr. Crandall continues to be astrong advocate of providingsummer employment for engineering students.

He is especially concerned withencouraging students of aboriginalancestry to pursue careers inengineering. Mr. Crandallbelieves the work undertaken byengineers must reflect the needsof all members of society. Toaccomplish that, successful participation of all people in theengineering profession isrequired—without regard tobackgrounds, cultures or genders.

In total, Mr. Crandall and ADIhave mentored and employedhundreds of students who havegained invaluable workplace

experience during their summerwork terms and co-operativeeducation programs.

For the past three years, Mr.Crandall has served as director forthe First Nations and BusinessLiaison Group of New Brunswick.This group of 15 First Nationschiefs and 15 business leadersmeets regularly to create economicdevelopment opportunities thatbenefit aboriginal communitiesand the private sector.

For his commitment to thefuture of engineering, his manyvolunteer contributions at theprovincial and national levelsand his professional leadership,APEGNB is proud to present Mr. David Crandall, P.Eng., FEC,with its Service to the Profession Award.


onvinced that the engi-neering profession needsmore women, ChristinePlourde, P.Eng., FEC, has

spent a great deal of time duringthe past 15 years promoting thebenefits of a career in engineeringto young girls, high school students, employers and justabout anybody who will listen.

Ms. Plourde believes that morewomen would become engineersif they knew just how much theprofession impacts people’s day-to-day lives. According toresearch undertaken by Ms.Plourde, women place socialinteraction, helping others andcaring for the environment highon their priority lists.

“So if these types of opportunitiesare not readily seen as a significantpart of an engineer's career, manymay disregard the professionfrom the outset. Too often,

people think an engineer spendscountless hours working in isola-tion on machines or inanimateobjects,” explains Ms. Plourde.“An engineer's main responsibilityhas always been to protect publichealth, safety and the environment.We simply need to work together

to get this message out to thegeneral public, using a variety ofmeaningful examples from acrossall the engineering disciplines.Some women may tend to steeraway from a career that is knownprimarily for its requirement forstrong math and science skills(even if they have them), butpeople of all sorts will flock to acareer that is known to provideopportunities to ‘Change the World’.”

Ms. Plourde’s involvement withEngineers Canada’s Women inEngineering Advisory Group(WIEAG) since 2005 has givenher the opportunity to work withrepresentatives from engineeringassociations across Canada toget that message out to a wider audience.

WIEAG is a mechanism for communicating information onthe importance of establishing adiverse engineering professionthat is reflective of Canada's

gender demographics. The groupcontinually monitors outreachactivities on a range of Canadianand international organizations,and supports projects to increasethe participation of women inthese fields.

With support from WIEAG andAPEGNB, Ms. Plourde has had theopportunity to participate in tworecent national conferences of theCanadian Coalition of Women inEngineering, Science, Trades andTechnology (CCWESTT).

Under Ms. Plourde’s leadership,WIEAG helped Engineers Canada’srecently formed Women inEngineering (WIE) Task Forceprepare a report for EngineersCanada in May 2009 that contained a number of strategiesaimed at attracting and retainingsignificantly more women in theengineering profession. TheEngineers Canada Board hasaccepted these recommendationsand WIEAG and the WIE TaskForce continue to work to moveforward with these strategies.

In addition to Ms. Plourde’s workwith WIEAG, she has also volun-teered on behalf of her professionin a variety of capacities in NewBrunswick. Her ongoing APEGNBvolunteer work includes serviceon the Admissions andProfessional DevelopmentCommittees. Past serviceincludes terms as a provincialCouncillor, Fredericton BranchCouncillor and a member of theEnvironment Committee.

During Ms. Plourde’s time withthe Professional DevelopmentCommittee, she has been instru-mental in cultivating a relationshipwith the UNB College of ExtendedLearning, in order to facilitate theCollege’s ability to provide more


CHRISTINE PLOURDE, P.Eng., FEC

“It is crucial that we attract more women to the engineering profession. Women make up more than half ofour population, and more than 55 percent of university students. However, less than 10 percent of Canada’s engineers are female. Their perspectives and skills areneeded to advance engineering and with many engineersretiring in the next decade, attracting more women into theprofession will help fill that labour gap.”

The Support of Women in Engineering Award is presented to an outstanding engineer(s)who, in the opinion of the Association, through their engineering and career achievements,has demonstrated noteworthy support for women in engineering and has established abenchmark of engineering excellence.

BRUCE E. BROSTER, Ph.D., P.Geo., FEC (Hon.)

y year serving as yourPresident is rapidlyapproaching its endand at this time, it is

customary to look back over ouraccomplishments and highlightsfor the year.

The position of APEGNBPresident is one that requires theincumbent to dive in and keepswimming. By the time youcome up for air, it is time forsomeone new to take over.

Items surfaced after one day onthe job and within two weeks,Andrew McLeod, FEC (Hon.), andI were off to Ottawa to attendEngineers Canada’s (CCPE) plenarysessions and discussions of theSynergy Task Force proposals.

During the year, I attended morethan 50 meetings as part of myduties as APEGNB President. I wasalso active during a transition asoutgoing Geoscientists Canada(CCPG) Past President to incoming chair of the CanadianGeoscience Standards Board.

During the past 10 months, Ihave represented your Associationat the annual general meeting ofapproximately six of our sisterassociations across Canada—from the Northwest Territoriesand Nunavut to Newfoundlandand Labrador. From these travels,it was clear that the associationsface similar challenges and

goals, which are best served by aunited front through our nationalassociations of Engineers Canadaand Geoscientists Canada.

The major challenges facing allassociations continue to be:

1. illegal practice by non-licensed professionals;

2. fair and rapid assessment ofForeign Trained Professionals(FTP); and,

3. ease of mobility.

While the Agreement on InternalTrade (AIT) has facilitated nationalmobility for full members, weface issues on partial or limitedlicensure and this will be at theforefront over the next year.

Our national associations continueto work towards greater interna-tional mobility on behalf of all Canadian engineers and geoscientists. Engineers Canadahas negotiated a recognitionagreement on full professionalpractice, the NAFTA MutualRecognition Document, to support greater mobility forengineers from Canada, Texasand Mexico. Engineers Canadahas also developed a nationalregister of qualified Canadianengineers as part of the AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation(APEC) Engineer Register initiative.

Geoscience Canada is examiningagreements with Ireland, theUnited Kingdom, Italy andSpain. In November, I attendedthe National Association ofState Boards of Geology(ASBOG) Annual Meeting of 30 state boards in St. Louis,Missouri, and contributed totheir Committee of Examinermeetings for Fundamental

Exams (FG) and Practice Exams(PG). In the United States, professional practice is licensedby individual states—many ofwhom require that applicantspass the ASBOG FG and PGexaminations for approval oflicensure. Some Canadian associations, especially APEGGA,are looking at adopting theASBOG FG as a requirement forFTP geoscience applications.

LIMITATION OF ACTIONS ACTAfter several years of effort, andthe involvement of many APEGNBCouncillors and staff, Bill 28—the “Limitations of Actions”Act—was proclaimed law by ourProvincial government on May 1st, 2010. The Act brings NewBrunswick’s ultimate limitationperiod for professionals in linewith most other provinces. Oursister associations in Nova Scotiaand Prince Edward Island arepresently working on similar Acts.

ENGINEERS CANADA NEWSThe 2010 Engineers CanadaFellowship Awards Reception washeld this past May at the DeltaFredericton where I had thepleasure of presenting this year’sawards to nine well-deservingindividuals in recognition ofservice and dedication to theengineering profession.

Throughout the year, I met manyof our members and formermembers in positions of leadershipacross the country. An exampleof this by one of our membersbears repeating, thus I extend

congratulations to Brent Smith,P.Eng., FEC. He is the EngineersCanada Director for APEGNBand will be installed as Presidentof Engineers Canada during theirAGM on May 28 in Halifax.

APEGNB’S 90TH ANNIVERSARYAs part of our 90th anniversarycelebrations, your Associationpublished “Cheer for YourEngineers”, a 24-page supplementthat was inserted in three NewBrunswick daily newspapers andseven community newspapers.The publication was made possiblethrough the work of our Directorof Communications, MelissaMertz, FEC (Hon.), and the strongsupport of several engineeringfirms and municipalities thatpurchased advertising space inthe supplement. On behalf ofthe membership, I acknowledgeand thank them for their supportof this initiative.

Also, as part of our anniversarycelebrations, Council establisheda new student scholarshipdesigned to encourage membersof New Brunswick’s First Nationscommunities to pursue careersin engineering. Named in honourof our Lieutenant-Governor, theHonourable Graydon Nicholas,

the first award was presented thispast September to John Cloutier,a third-year mechanical engi-neering student at the University of New Brunswick.

NEW AND IMPROVEDOne of the more exciting piecesof news this year is the switch toelectronic voting for APEGNB’s2011 Council elections. Whilepaper ballots can still be used,the advent of electronic ballotsshould improve efficiency andaccuracy with returns.

In the improvement department,APEGNB has established a BuildingCommittee to look at expandingour office facilities. Our existingoffice building was completedjust four years ago but already,as a result of our ever-growingmembership requirements, morespace is needed.

INSIDE COUNCILAlso new, APEGNB’s Council hasintroduced an initiative to keepmembers up-to-date on theaction items discussed at Council meetings. Summaries of meetingsare available at www.apegnb.com


President Bruce Broster awards APEGNB’s executive director, Andrew McLeod, an EngineersCanada Fellowship during a reception held at theDelta Fredericton in May 2010.

GOVERNMENT RELATIONSAnnually, APEGNB holds a government reception to thankour provincially elected officialsand senior government repre-sentatives for their work on ourbehalf and to promote the benefitsof engineering and geoscience tothe public. This year, our annualMLA Reception was held onMarch 24 in Fredericton. It was

attended by numerous Cabinetministers, MLAs and deputyministers. It provided us with thefirst opportunity to presentAPEGNB to the new government.

In the fall, I attended NewBrunswick’s Exploration, Miningand Petroleum 2010 Conferencewhere I met the new Minister ofNatural Resources, the Hon.Bruce Northrup.

Recently, Andrew McLeod, FEC(Hon), and I attended theAssociation of ConsultingEngineering Companies—NewBrunswick (ACEC-NB) DeputyMinister’s Dinner in January2011. This event afforded usanother opportunity to advanceAPEGNB’s issues of concern todecision-makers.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSFor nine decades, APEGNB hasbeen a progressive model forprofessional self-governance. It isan accomplishment that manyhave contributed to and somethingin which we all can take pride.

Allow me to thank you again forthe privilege of representingAPEGNB on your behalf at

provincial and national events. Ithas been an honour and a careerhighlight for me to have beenable to serve the membership inthis role. The experience hasprovided opportunities to meetpeople from all different back-grounds and to advocate for theimportant role that engineersand geoscientists have in drivingthe economy and making theworld a safer place.

I want to thank all memberswho served on Council for theirdedication and commitment.Not to be forgotten are all themembers who served on committees/task forces. OurAssociation survives on volunteersand could not continue withoutyour support. I encourage members to become activelyinvolved in volunteerism andpride of membership.

Lastly, my personal thanks to ourexecutive director, AndrewMcLeod FEC (Hon) and APEGNBstaff for their assistance andguidance over this past year. Iextend best wishes to incomingPresident Darryl Ford, P.Eng.,and the new Council.

Au cours de l’année, j’ai assisté àplus de cinquante réunions àtitre de président de l’AIGNB.J’avais aussi des activités pourmettre fin à mon mandatcomme président sortant deGéoscientifiques Canada (Conseilcanadien des géoscientifiquesprofessionnels) et pour assumermon rôle de nouveau présidentdu Bureau canadien des normesde la géoscience.

Au cours des dix derniers mois,j’ai représenté notre associationaux assemblées généralesannuelles d’environ six de nosassociations sœurs du reste duCanada, depuis les Territoires duNord-Ouest et Nunavut jusqu’àTerre-Neuve-et-Labrador. Au coursde ces voyages, il m’est apparuévident que les autres associationsfont face à des difficultés et ontdes objectifs semblables auxnôtres, difficultés et objectifs quiseront plus faciles à régler et àatteindre en constituant un frontuni des associations nationalesque sont Ingénieurs Canada etGéoscientifiques Canada.

Les plus grands défis rencontréspar toutes les associationsdemeurent :

1. l’exercice illégal par des professionnels sans permis;

2. l’évaluation équitable et rapide des professionnels formés à l’étranger (PFE);

3. la mobilité.

Bien que l’Accord sur le commerceintérieur (ACI) ait facilité lamobilité des membres à partentière au pays, nous devonsaborder les questions relativesau permis d’exercice à portéelimitée ou partiel, ce qui seraau premier plan au cours de laprochaine année.

Nos associations nationales continuent de travailler en vued’une plus grande mobilité internationale au nom de tousles ingénieurs et géoscientifiquescanadiens. Ingénieurs Canada anégocié un accord de reconnais-sance relatif au plein exercice dela profession, soit l’entente de

reconnaissance mutuelle del’ALENA, pour assurer une plusgrande mobilité des ingénieursdu Canada, du Texas et duMexique. Ingénieurs Canada aégalement mis au point unrépertoire national des ingénieurscanadiens compétents dans lecadre de l’initiative des répertoiresde l’organisation de Coopérationéconomique de la zone Asie-Pacifique (APEC).

Au mois de novembre,j’ai assisté à l’assemblée annuellede la National Association ofState Boards of Geology(ASBOG) qui regroupe les conseilsde trente différents États à St. Louis(Missouri) et j’ai participé auxréunions de leur comité desexaminateurs relativement auxexamens sur les principes fonda-mentaux et aux examens surl’exercice de la profession. AuxÉtats-Unis, c’est au niveau desÉtats que le permis d’exercice dela profession est accordé; plusieursÉtats exigent que les requérantsréussissent l’examen sur lesprincipes fondamentaux et celuisur l’exercice de la profession del’ASBOG pour obtenir le permisd’exercer. Certaines associationscanadiennes, surtout celle del’Alberta, l’APEGGA, songent àexiger la réussite à l’examen sur les principes fondamentauxde l’ASBOG comme préalable au dépôt d’une demande d’inscription des géoscientifiquesformés à l’étranger.

LA LOI SUR LA PRESCRIPTIONAprès plusieurs années d’effortet la détermination de plusieursmembres du Conseil et du personnel de l’AIGNB, le projetde loi 28 – la Loi sur la prescription– a été proclamé loi par le gouvernement de notre provincele 1er mai 2010. La Loi ajuste ledélai de prescription ultime envigueur au Nouveau-Brunswickpour les professionnels à celuide la plupart des autres provinces.Nos associations sœurs de laNouvelle-Écosse et de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard travaillent àl’heure actuelle à l’adoption delois semblables.

NOUVELLES D’INGÉNIEURS CANADALa réception de 2010 pourremettre les titres de Fellowd’Ingénieurs Canada s’est tenueen mai dernier à l’hôtel Delta deFredericton où j’ai eu le plaisirde présenter les titres de cetteannée à neuf personnes tout àfait méritoires en reconnaissancede leurs services et de leurdévouement à l’endroit de laprofession d’ingénieur.

Tout au long de l’année, j’ai rencontré plusieurs de nos membres et anciens membres

qui occupent des postes de leadership partout au pays. Unexemple de ces réussites par nosmembres mérite d’être rappelé;je veux donc exprimer toutes nosfélicitations à Brent Smith, ing.,FIC. Il est le représentant de l’AIGNBau conseil d’administrationd’Ingénieurs Canada et il seraassermenté à la présidenced’Ingénieurs Canada lors de sonAGA le 28 mai à Halifax.

90E ANNIVERSAIRE DE L’AIGNBDans le cadre des célébrations poursouligner notre 90e anniversaire,notre association a publié « Saluonsnos ingénieurs », un encart de 24 pages qui a été inséré danstrois quotidiens du Nouveau-Brunswick et dans sept journauxcommunautaires. La publicationa été rendue possible grâce autravail de notre directrice descommunications, Melissa Mertz,FIC (hon.), et à l’excellent appuide plusieurs sociétés d’ingénierieet municipalités qui ont achetédes espaces publicitaires dansl’encart. Au nom des membres,je tiens à signaler leur appui et àles en remercier.

NOUVEAU ET AMÉLIORÉUne des nouvelles les plus palpitantes de l’année a été lepassage au vote électronique pourélire les membres du Conseil del’AIGNB de 2011. Bien que l’onpuisse toujours se servir des bulletins de vote sur papier, l’arrivéedes scrutins électroniques devraitaméliorer l’efficacité et la justessedu décompte des votes.

Du côté des améliorations, l’AIGNBa créé un comité des locaux pourétudier la possibilité d’agrandirnos bureaux. Notre immeuble à

bureau actuel a été complété il ya à peine quatre ans, mais déjà,par suite des besoins sans cessecroissants de nos membres, ilfaut davantage d’espace.

AU CONSEILUne autre nouveauté : le Conseilde l’AIGNB a entrepris unedémarche pour garder les membres au courant desmesures abordées à ses réunions.Les résumés des réunions sontaccessibles au www.apegnb.comen cliquant sur le lien « Lesrésumés de séance » dans lanouvelle section « Au Conseil ».

calls from members and thepublic expressing appreciationfor the project. A special thankyou is in order for the membercompanies as well as the munici-

palities that showcased their pridein New Brunswick’s engineeringaccomplishments by advertisingin the supplement.

APEGNB communications alsohelped support various Branchactivities including developing anew logo, banner and ads for thesecond APEGNB Haunted Tour inFredericton. As a result of thecreativity and hard work of theFredericton Branch and theincreased communications support, the event tripled itsattendance figures over the previous year and raised morethan $14,000 for the CharlotteStreet Arts Centre.

From the APEGNB Pumpkin Flingto the golf tournaments, Branchevents provide an opportunityfor the public to engage withengineers and geoscientists intheir local communities. It alsoprovides our members with thechance to showcase their creativity,innovation and generosity.

IN CLOSINGOur 90th anniversary year wouldnot be complete without athankful acknowledgement ofthe hard work and professionalism

of our volunteers and staff.Throughout 2010, volunteers andstaff represented our professionsat a wide variety of national,government, public, university,

geoscience and engineeringfunctions. These functions provided an excellent opportunityto further the Association’s mandate of protecting the public.

I continue to believe that underthe watchful eye of Council, weare making progress in manyareas, and I feel confident thatour staff will be able to continue

that progress. It has been apleasure working with PresidentBruce Broster, P.Geo., FEC (Hon),and I’m excited to be workingwith President-Elect Darryl Ford,P.Eng., in the coming year.


SECRETARY-TREASURER’S REPORTOur latest fiscal year ended on December 31, 2010. From a financial perspective, we achieveda $91,057 net income and membership growth continues to exceed expectations as weapproach the 5,251 member mark. APEGNB is in good financial shape and is very capable ofcarrying out its regulatory responsibilities.

We saw increases in membership revenue, registration fees, advertising revenue and sundryrevenue. Expenses increased slightly over budget due to several unplanned expenditures tocelebrate our 90th anniversary, improve our membership database, improve the security of ourcomputer systems, expand our online payment systems and implement e-voting.

As we head into our 91st year, Council is proposing a budget that allows us to continue toimprove and diversify our member services without sacrificing our financial strength.

The annual Awards Dinner,which was previously held inOctober, has been discontinued.Because of the rotation of theevent, it was always difficult toget student attendance. Toreplace the Awards Dinner, theLife Memberships are nowawarded at the Annual Meetingand the scholarships/prizes wereawarded at two ScholarshipLuncheons – one in Frederictonand one in Moncton in October.Members of the FoundationBoard, Faculty members, and theaward recipients and their guestswere invited to attend in eachlocation. This event was less formalbut well attended and well

received by the scholarship/prizerecipients in each location. Thispractice will be continued in theforeseeable future.

APEGNB Foundation forEducation Standard LifeDiversified capital fund showed again in capital—raising the valueto $568,000 at November 30,2010. The Foundation bond fundis fluctuating around the$160,000 mark. This year, cashreserves in the bank accountfrom current donations wereonce again sufficient to fund thescholarships and prizes withouta withdrawal from the capitalfunds. The bond fund establishedwith the bequest from the OttisLogue estate is now providingmore than sufficient interest tofund the Ottis I. Logue PostGraduate Scholarship. Mr. Loguealso made provision for ongoingannual support to the APEGNBFoundation through theFredericton CommunityFoundation. The continued support of the membership, inparticular the Life Members, is agreat help in evening out marketfluctuations. The ongoing support of the membership continues to be key in sustainingthe scholarship funding.

l’on tenait habituellement aumois d’octobre chaque année.Étant donnée l’alternance pourla tenue de cet événement, ilétait toujours difficile d’obtenirune présence étudiante. En lieuet place du banquet de remisedes prix, les titres de membre àvie seront dorénavant décernéslors de l’assemblée annuelle,alors que les bourses d’études etles prix ont été remis lors dedeux déjeuners consacrés auxbourses d’études – l’un àFredericton et l’autre à Monctonen octobre. Les membres duconseil de la Fondation, lesmembres du corps professoral,ainsi que les lauréats et leursinvités ont reçu une invitation àchaque endroit. Ces déjeuners sesont avérés moins formels, maisils ont été bien fréquentés et bienreçus par les récipiendaires debourse d’études ou de prix dansles deux cas.

I am honoured to have the opportunity to serve as the 91st president of APEGNB in 2011.Thank you for your vote of confidence. I look forward to working with Council, ourmembership, other constituent associations, and the Association’s staff to advance themany issues and challenges that continue to face our professions.

These issues include:

• Enhancing the mobility of our members• Exploring limited licensure• Increasing public awareness of our professions• Addressing strategic planning objectives • Working towards a national framework for the assessment and accreditation of

Internationally Trained Professionals (ITP’s)• Developing a competency-based assessment of applicants• Strengthening communication between our association and the three levels of government

There is also a growing demand for transparency of professional qualifications andmechanisms to support and facilitate student mobility. These standards, competencies,and proficiency levels are yet another way in which our Association can deliver on itscentral mandate to protect public safety.

Key to the success of many of our initiatives is communication and planning so that thepublic is made aware of the impact APEGNB members have on the day-to-day healthand wealth of New Brunswickers.

Helping to put the spotlight on APEGNB member contributions will be Brent Smith,P.Eng. He will be installed as president of Engineers Canada (CCPE) in May of this year.With your involvement, input, and support, Mr. Smith will ensure that APEGNB has aneven stronger presence and voice at the national level. As a constituent association, wewill work closely with Engineers Canada and our sister associations to bring strategicmessages to Canada’s elected parliamentarians through the “Bridging Government andEngineers” program.

Another ongoing priority for Executive and Council is further enhancing the Association’svalue and relevance. We will continue to assess APEGNB’s day-to-day operations and theservices offered to our members. We have already established electronic voting, streamlinedthe annual meeting and expanded our communications program. Additionally, we willcontinue to work with other groups such as ACEC-NB, AANB, CCPG, and NBSCETT toidentify and act upon issues of mutual concern.

APEGNB is one of Canada’s most effective and proactive licensing bodies. The work weundertake to establish the proper framework, procedures, and protocol for professionaldevelopment is vitally important. It means that the public can be confident that ourmembers meet the highest possible level of standards for professional practice. Thehealth, well-being, and safety of the public has been, and will continue to be, our numberone priority.

On behalf of all our members, I would like to personally thank the many volunteers whocontinue to remain active within the Association. Please know that your input and support isvery much appreciated. For those who have yet to take advantage of volunteer opportunities,we urge and recommend that you get actively involved. This is your Association andyour participation is what makes it strong.

Je me sens honoré d’avoir la possibilité de siéger à titre de 91e président de l’AIGNB en 2011.Je vous remercie de votre vote de confiance. J’ai bien hâte de travailler avec le Conseil, nosmembres, les autres associations membres et le personnel de l’Association pour faire progresser les nombreux enjeux et défis auxquels nos professions continuent de faire face.

Parmi ces enjeux, notons :

• l’amélioration de la mobilité de nos membres;• l’étude du permis d’exercice à portée restreinte;• une plus grande sensibilisation du public par rapport à nos professions;• l’atteinte des objectifs de la planification stratégique;• la collaboration en vue d’un cadre national d’évaluation et de reconnaissance des com-

pétences des professionnels formés à l’étranger;• l’élaboration d’une évaluation des requérants axée sur les compétences;• le renforcement des communications entre notre association et les trois paliers

de gouvernement.

Il y aussi une demande croissante de transparence en matière de qualifications professionnelleset de mécanismes pour soutenir et faciliter la mobilité des étudiants. Ces normes, ces compétenceset ces niveaux de maîtrise sont d’autres moyens par lesquels notre association peut agir parrapport à son principal mandat, soit protéger la sécurité publique.

La communication et la planification sont la clé du succès de nos démarches pour que lepublic soit conscientisé quant à l’incidence qu’ont les membres de l’AIGNB au jour le joursur la santé et la prospérité des Néo-Brunswickoises et des Néo-Brunswickois.

Pour aider à braquer les projecteurs sur l’apport des membres de l’AIGNB, on pourra comptersur Brent Smith, ing.

En tant qu’association membre, nous collaborerons étroitement avecIngénieurs Canada et avec nos associations sœurs pour transmettre des messagesstratégiques aux parlementaires élus du Canada par le biais du programme « Rapprocher legouvernement et les ingénieurs ».

Une autre priorité permanente du Bureau de direction et du Conseil est le renforcement dela valeur de notre association et de sa pertinence. Nous continuerons d’évaluer les activitésde l’AIGNB et des services qu’elle offre à ses membres au jour le jour. Nous avons déjàinstauré le vote électronique, rationalisé l’assemblée générale annuelle et étendu notre programme de communication. De plus, nous continuerons de travailler avec d’autresgroupes tels que l’Association des firmes d’ingénierie du Nouveau-Brunswick (AFIC-NB),l’Association des architectes du Nouveau-Brunswick (AANB), le Conseil canadien des géoscientifiques professionnels (CCGP) et la Société des techniciens et des technologuesagréés du génie du Nouveau-Brunswick (STTAG-NB) pour cerner les enjeux d’intérêt mutuelet poser des actions.

Parmi les instances qui accordent le droit d’exercer au Canada, l’AIGNB est l’une les plusefficaces et des plus proactives. Notre démarche pour établir le cadre, les procédures et lesprotocoles qui conviennent en matière de perfectionnement professionnel est d’une importance capitale. Elle assurera que le public peut être certain que nos membresrespectent les normes les plus élevées dans l’exercice de leur profession. La santé, le bien-être et la sécurité du public ont été et resteront notre priorité.

Au nom de tous nos membres, je souhaite remercier personnellement les nombreux bénévolesqui restent actifs au sein de l’Association. Sachez que votre apport et votre soutien sont desplus appréciés.

My two years on provincial Council have been a rewarding and learning experience forme. Having been a member of APEGNB for many years, I was certainly aware of the roleof the Association but it wasn’t until I was actually elected to Council that I received asharper insight on the issues and work required to deliver on our mandate: to protectthe public and serve the APEGNB members. I would strongly urge all members tobecome involved with their Association so that they too can contribute to the health andwealth of New Brunswick.

It would be my privilege and honour, if elected vice-president, to devote even more timeto advancing our professions by addressing the issues of:

• Mobility of professionals within and outside of Canada, • Establishing new member classifications, • Increasing the admissions of professionals trained outside of Canada, and • Licensing of academics.

We live and work in a constantly changing world. APEGNB Council must keep pace with,and respond to, the many demands placed upon our professions while at the same timeensuring the public’s interests are protected and the contributions of our membershipare promoted.

Mes deux années au conseil provincial ont été une expérience gratifiante et éducative.Membre de l’AIGNB depuis des années, j’étais certes conscient du rôle de l’Association, maisce n’est qu’une fois élu au Conseil que j’ai mieux compris les enjeux et la quantité de travailnécessaire pour réaliser notre mandat : protéger le public et servir les membres de l’AIGNB.J’exhorterais fortement chacun des membres à s’engager au sein de leur association, afin depouvoir contribuer à la santé et à la prospérité du Nouveau Brunswick.

Si je suis élu à la vice-présidence, je me sentirais privilégié et honoré de consacrer davantagede temps à l’avancement de nos professions en abordant les enjeux suivants :

• la mobilité des professionnels à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur du Canada;• l’établissement de nouvelles catégories de membres;• l’augmentation du nombre d’admission de professionnels formés à l’extérieur du Canada;• l’octroi de permis aux universitaires.

Nous vivons et travaillons dans un monde en perpétuelle transformation. Le Conseil del’AIGNB doit rester au fait des nombreuses demandes dont nos professions font l’objet et yréagir tout en veillant à ce que l’intérêt public soit protégé et que l’apport de nos membressoit mis en valeur.

I have had the honour and pleasure to be an APEGNB member for more than 20 years.My membership has not only given me the licence to practise my profession but it hasalso enabled me to be part of many projects, community groups and business associations.It has truly been a rewarding experience and I would like to continue my support ofAPEGNB and its mandate by serving as your vice-president.

Over the past few years, our Association has seen a number of major changes such asthe new Limitation of Liability legislation, the inclusion of geoscientists, and the increasingnumber of women in our profession.

This year, we are celebrating the 91st anniversary of our Association. Now is a greattime to look at where we want to be when our centennial anniversary arrives in 2020.What we do in the next two years will have a great impact on how we look in 10 years.I believe we need to take a strong look at our Association to see if there are better waysit can serve the public and the membership. We need to ask ourselves:

• What do our members want?• How do we continue to increase the visibility of our professions in order to give the

professions the proper respect they deserve? • With the availability of new technologies and social media such as Facebook,

Twitter, and the internet, are there better ways to communicate with our membershipand the public?

To answer these questions, we need to conduct an in-depth membership survey (includingfocus groups) to gain a more accurate picture of our communication priorities. Fromthere, we can chart a clear path for the Association that will lead us from strength to strength.

J’ai eu l’honneur et le plaisir d’être membre de l’AIGNB depuis plus de vingt ans. Non seulementmon adhésion m’a permis d’exercer ma profession, elle m’a aussi permis de participer à denombreux projets, à des groupes communautaires et à des organismes du secteur desaffaires. L’expérience a véritablement été gratifiante et j’aimerais poursuivre mon appui àl’AIGNB et à son mandat en siégeant à la vice-présidence.

Au cours des dernières années, notre association a connu un certain nombre de changementsimportants tels que la nouvelle Loi sur la prescription, l’intégration des géoscientifiques etla croissance du nombre de femmes dans nos professions.

Cette année, nous célébrons le 91e anniversaire de notre association. Le temps est tout à faitpropice pour se demander dès maintenant où nous souhaitons en être au moment de notrecentième anniversaire en 2020. Ce que nous accomplirons au cours des deux prochainesannées aura une grande incidence sur notre allure dans dix ans. Je crois que nous devonsexaminer attentivement notre association pour voir s’il y a de meilleures façons de servir lepublic et les membres. Nous devons nous demander :

• Que souhaitent nos membres?• Comment continuer de renforcer la visibilité de nos professions pour qu’on leur accorde

le respect qu’elles méritent?• Avec la disponibilité de nouvelles technologies et des médias sociaux tels que Facebook,

Twitter et Internet, y a-t-il de meilleurs moyens de communiquer avec nos membres etavec le public?

Pour répondre à ces questions, il faudra réaliser un sondage approfondi auprès de nos membres(y compris des groupes témoins) pour dresser une image plus exacte de nos priorités enmatière de communication. Nous pourrons ensuite tracer une voie bien définie pour menerl’Association de réussite en réussite.

APEGNB is a strong, effective, growing organization that provides many things to many people.

As Councillor for Fredericton, I would do my best to ensure that APEGNB continues tomaintain the high standards that the public expects from us, while still providing a broadrange of relevant services for current and future members.

L’AIGNB est une association professionnelle forte, efficace et en croissance qui fournit différentes choses à différentes personnes.

During my early career, I was involved with APEGNB committees and local Branch activities.I always enjoyed the challenges and opportunities that these posed. In the early 2000’s,I decided to take an extended leave from many years of volunteer activities as I discoveredthe joys of building a family. Now that my son is gaining more independence on a dailybasis, the time has come to re-introduce myself to volunteer activities. I would bedelighted to represent our Branch membership at the provincial level.

Au début de ma carrière, j’ai participé à des activités et à des comités de l’AIGNB et de sasection locale. J’ai toujours apprécié les défis posés et les possibilités offertes. Au début desannées 2000, j’ai décidé de m’éloigner des activités bénévoles pendant quelques années, letemps de découvrir les joies associées à l’épanouissement d’une famille. Maintenant quemon fils est plus autonome dans sa vie quotidienne, le temps est venu de revenir aux activitésbénévoles. Je serais ravi de représenter les membres de notre section au niveau provincial.

Having served as your representative on Council since 2007, it has been a privilege towork on a number of different issues on your behalf including:

• The Association’s first electronic voting system • A national framework for credentialing internationally educated graduates • APEGNB’s 90th anniversary celebrations• Various bylaw changes• Limitation of Actions Act

Our Council has certainly made significant progress on a broad range of topics but thereis still much work to be done. As we enter our 91st year as a widely respected regulatorybody, I look forward to helping APEGNB expand its competency assurance programs.Protecting the public interest is our number one priority. Our fellow citizens need tohave the utmost confidence in our professions. Establishing and enforcing high standardsof knowledge and expertise is just one way your Association delivers on that mandate.

Equally important to the future of our professions is encouraging youth to pursue acareer in engineering or geoscience. We also must ensure new graduates register withAPEGNB to get them on the path to the P.Eng./P.Geo. as soon as possible. Both initiativesrequire the support of a strong communications program that promotes our professionsas the exciting, innovative, people-oriented professions we all know they are.

I am enthusiastic about where our professions are headed and would consider it an honourif re-elected to serve my fellow engineers and geoscientists in the Saint John District once again.

J’ai eu le privilège de siéger pour vous représenter au Conseil depuis 2007 et de travailler à un certainnombre de différents enjeux en votre nom, notamment :

• le premier système de vote électronique de l’Association;• un cadre national pour reconnaître les titres de compétence des diplômés formés à l’étranger;• la célébration du 90e anniversaire de l’AIGNB;• différentes modifications du règlement administratif;• la Loi sur la prescription.

Notre conseil a certes fait des progrès énormes sur tout un éventail de questions, mais il reste encorebeaucoup de travail à faire. Au moment où nous amorçons notre 91e année en tant qu’organisme deréglementation respecté, j’espère avoir la chance d’aider l’AIGNB à étendre ses programmes d’assur-ance de la compétence. La protection de l’intérêt public est notre principale priorité. Il faut que nosconcitoyens aient une très grande confiance en nos professions. L’établissement et l’application denormes élevées en matière de connaissances et de savoir-faire n’est qu’un des moyens par lesquelsvotre association peut réaliser son mandat.

Pour l’avenir de nos professions, il est également important d’inciter les jeunes à entreprendre unecarrière en génie ou en sciences de la Terre. Nous devons aussi nous assurer que les nouveauxdiplômés s’inscrivent auprès de l’AIGNB pour les mettre sur la bonne voie vers l’obtention des désig-nations d’ing. ou de géosc. dès que possible. Les deux démarches demandent le soutien d’un excel-lent programme de communication qui fait la promotion de nos professions comme étant les palpi-tantes professions novatrices axées sur la personne que nous connaissons.

L’orientation de nos professions me fascine et je serais des plus honorée d’être réélue pour servir ànouveau mes confrères et consœurs ingénieurs et géoscientifiques de la section de Saint John.

I have been committed to, and involved with, professional registration for geoscientistsin one form or another since the middle 1970s.

The opportunity to sit on Council of my home association is very exciting. The issues ofnational and international mobility are of particular interest and importance to me. Ihave always been a strong proponent of joint engineer and geoscientist associations andsee them as the foundation of a robust professional registration system.

Specific to geoscientists, I believe that a considerable amount of work remains to bedone in encouraging and educating new geoscientists about the advantages offered byour association. Coupled to these advantages are the obligations related to professionalpractice and the commitment to such practices that is required if our profession is to berespected nationally and internationally.

Je me suis toujours intéressé à la question de l’inscription professionnelle des géoscien-tifiques et j’y ai participé d’une manière ou d’une autre depuis le milieu des années 1970.

La possibilité de siéger au Conseil de mon association d’origine me réjouit. La question de lamobilité nationale et internationale m’intéresse particulièrement et revêt une grande importancepour moi. J’ai toujours préconisé fortement les associations conjointes d’ingénieurs et de géo -scientifiques et je les perçois comme l’assise d’un solide système d’inscription professionnelle.

D’un point de vue propre aux géoscientifiques, j’estime qu’il reste un travail considérable àfaire pour encourager les nouveaux géoscientifiques et les informer des avantages offerts parnotre association. En contrepartie de ces avantages, il y a les obligations relatives à l’exercicede la profession et l’engagement d’exercer de manière à ce que notre profession soit respectéetant sur le plan national qu’à l’échelle internationale.

FOR GEOSCIENTIST-AT-LARGE AU POSTE DE REPRÉSENTANT PROVINCIAL DES GÉOSCIENTIFIQUES

It’s an exciting time to be a geoscientist in New Brunswick these days.

The Saint John District is home to North America’s first Global Geopark. Millions of dollarsare being invested in the province’s oil/gas, peat and mineral exploration industries. It’sup to our Association and its members to ensure the public’s interests are protectedthroughout the education, drilling, development and production phases.

Additionally, the geoscience profession is working towards implementing national standards for credentials assessment and mutual recognition agreements betweenCanada’s regulatory bodies.

As a past president and long-time volunteer for APEGNB, I would welcome the opportunity toreturn to provincial Council as your voice for geoscience. Together, we can continue to:

• raise awareness of geoscientists’ contributions to New Brunswick’s health and wealth• attract new graduates to the profession• protect and promote the value of a P.Geo. designation

La période actuelle est très bonne pour exercer comme géoscientifique au Nouveau-Brunswick.

La région de Saint John accueille le premier géoparc du réseau mondial en Amérique duNord. Des millions de dollars sont investis dans la province dans les secteurs du pétrole etdu gaz, de la tourbe et de l’exploration minière. Il incombe à notre association et à ses membresde veiller à la protection des intérêts du public tout au long des phases d’éducation, de forage,de développement et de production.

De plus, les professions des sciences de la Terre travaillent à la mise en œuvre de normesnationales pour l’évaluation des titres de compétence et d’accords de reconnaissancemutuelle entre les organismes canadiens de réglementation.

En tant qu’ancienne présidente et bénévole de longue date à l’AIGNB, je serais très heureusede revenir au conseil provincial pour porter la voix des sciences de la Terre. Ensemble, nouspouvons continuer de :

• faire de la sensibilisation quant à l’apport des géoscientifiques à la santé et à laprospérité du Nouveau Brunswick;

• attirer de nouveaux diplômés à nos professions;• protéger et mettre en valeur la désignation de géosc.

would like to commend theefforts of the NominatingCommittee in soliciting candidates to run for

Councillor and executive positions.

Once again, we were able to findtwo candidates for all districtsexcept the Northeastern andNorthwestern districts. It issomewhat more difficult to findcandidates in areas with smaller memberships.

The work of attracting candidatesis always approached with sometrepidation since our efforts arealways tempered by the fact thatone of the two or more highlyqualified candidates will winand the others must be ‘losers’in the election process.

In addition to the contribution to the Association and your profession that you make as amember of Council, the experience has its own rewardsof meeting new people andexchanging interesting ideaswith our membership across theprovince, and by extension,across the country.

Thank you to all the Committeemembers for their work duringthe past year.

The Annual General Meeting &Dinner in January 2010 markedthe beginning of a new year anda new Branch council. The AGM& Dinner was held at the DeltaFredericton. During the evening,we introduced the activities andbudget that we had planned for2010. Dinner itself was a fantasticbuffet including a Maritimeseafood display. Later in theevening, we were entertained bythe humorous narrative of ourguest speaker, Elaine Leclerc,President of HCS Training andConsulting. She offered an interesting perspective on thedifferences between the generations in the workplace:Traditionalists, Boomers, Gen-X’ers and Millennials.

The third Thursday in February,skiers attended the Branch’s 2nd

Family Ski Night at CrabbeMountain. There was anticipationof bad weather the day before butthe weather turned out great forboth the drive up and the skiing!After skiing, everyone gatheredin the lodge for drinks, nachosand pizza.

Curling Night was a great eventagain this year. We had a fullhouse at the Capital Winter Clubwith 40 curlers showing up forchili and rolls, drinks and somerock throwing. Both beginnersand seasoned curlers enjoyedtheir time on the sheet of ice.We curled two games and thenmoved back inside for celebratorydrinks and a small “awards” ceremony. All indicators point to anequally popular evening this year.

In June, the Branch hosted aTechnical Tour of the MactaquacDam. Some had never touredthe facility, while others didn’twant to miss the opportunity totour the facility again. Nearly 30people joined us for the tour andNB Power staff were excellenttour guides. Highlights includedstanding over the gates insideone of the generators, and seeingthe tool kit left behind by thesuppliers of generators 5 and 6.

Hope you made it to our ChiliCook-Off at Odell Park this pastJune! It was held on a gorgeousFriday noon-hour on the lodge’soutdoor patio. About 30 or sopeople stopped by for lunch andthere were about six to eightchili recipes competing for tophonours. The funds collectedwere donated to the FrederictonFood Bank. The event involved acompetition for Best Chili (winners:Leah Belyea, EIT; Kristin Banks,P.Eng.; Jeff Earle, P.Eng.; andRyan Dunbar, P.Eng. of DillonConsulting Ltd. for their “40 DollarChili" chili) and Hottest Chili(winner: James Hoyt, P.Eng., fromNB-DOT with his “Hava SomeLava" chili). This was the sendannual Cook-Off, and it has beena tasty addition to our calendar!

In July, the Branch hosted animpromptu Pub Social atWilser’s Room. Approximately10 people showed up for abreezy Friday afternoon in thesunshine. It is fun to get ourmembers together and enjoy all

torrential rain shower that participants will remember.Congratulations to the Opus teamfor winning the tournamentagain this year and to all ofthose who won prizes.

BOO!! The APEGNB HauntedTour at the Charlotte StreetArts Centre was no less thanawesomely horrifying this year.Teams of engineers and geoscien-tists of the Fredericton Branchused all their creative and technical skills to terrify andhaunt the visitors this pastHalloween at the 2nd annualHaunted Tour! Well-coordinatedpublicity and great media support helped get the word outabout APEGNB’s efforts and as aresult, more than $14,000 wasraised in support of outreachprogramming for the Centre.

Teams from Fredericton areaconsulting engineering companiesand the provincial governmenthad a great time turning this oldArts Centre building into a seriesof fright stations which combinedinto one ghoulishly fun hauntedtour! Thank you to the Branch‘Boo Committee’ for putting inmany hours at the Centre toestablish what has not onlybecome a flagship Branch eventbut also as a popular “Frederictonevent”. Thank you to everyonewho worked so hard to buildtheir fright stations! We plan toscare anyone that dares enterthe doors of this creaky oldbuilding next year too. ForFacebookers, there are photosand videos at: APEGNB HalloweenHaunted House Tour for theCharlotte Street Arts Centre.

In November, invitations weresent out for a Technical Tour ofthe Canadian MilitaryEngineers Museum at BaseGagetown but due to the busylives of our Branch members,the tour was cancelled due tolack of response. No worriesthough, because this event will

The very next day, the Branchhosted a half-day event atTreeGo at Mactaquac, locatednear Mactaquac Provincial Park.A predicted lightning stormthreatened the event the daybefore but it was able to goahead as scheduled! Those whocame traversed most of thecourse before it was closed dueto weather conditions. But theyleft with the experience and aninvitation to return for freeanother day! This athletic activityfeatured about 50 obstacles in arow, including zip lines andwalking rope bridges, separatedby platforms up in the trees.

August gave way to the FamilyFun Day at the Bucket Club.This year’s Family Fun day wasthe best one yet. The Bucket Clubhas gone to amazing lengths toimprove their pool and waterslidearea. The new pools and slidesare fantastic, and we could nothave wished for better weather.Kids, parents, grandparents,aunts and uncles all had a greattime. We ate corn-on-the-cob,lobster, steak, salads, and hotdogs.Certainly there was no shortageof food. Along with the newwater fun, there were still otheractivities to enjoy too, like B-ballhoops, the driving range, andminiature golf.

Due to weather conditions, ourSeptember event was pushedahead to October and the forecastfor the rain date was lookingeven worse! Despite weatheranxiety, our Annual Branch GolfTournament turned out onceagain to be a success. About 30participants joined the golf funat Riverbend Golf Club this year.The weather did cooperate forthe most part, short of one

be held in 2011. Please watch forthe new date and time. We lookforward to this tour because themuseum holds great pieces ofour engineering history! It ishome to some 35,000 artifactsthat represent the history of allfacets of the Canadian militaryengineers, from the 18th centuryto present day.

In December, the Branch hosteda Holiday Mixer at the DeltaFredericton for those that wereunable to travel to the provincialholiday reception in Moncton.Those who attended had anopportunity to relax and get intothe holiday spirit!

Thank you! It has been a greatrun the past four years, but alas mytime as 2010 Chair has officiallycome to an end! As Past Chair in2011, I hope to remain to onBranch council and help organizeevents. Thank you to everyone whohas made this a great year. Beingpart of the Branch executive is awonderful opportunity to meetso many of our colleagues andmake new friends.

L’assemblée générale et le dînerannuels ont signalé en janvier2010 le lancement de la nouvelleannée et l’entrée en fonction d’unnouveau conseil de section. L’AGAet le dîner se sont déroulés auDelta Fredericton. Au cours de lasoirée, nous avons présenté lesactivités et le budget que nousavions planifiés pour 2010. Ledîner était constitué d’un superbebuffet comprenant une présentationde fruits de mer des Maritimes.Plus tard en soirée, notre conférencière invitée, ÉlaineLeclerc, présidente de HCSTraining and Consulting, nous abien fait rire avec ses récits. Elle aapporté une perspective intéressantesur la différence entre les générations dans le milieu de travail : les traditionalistes, lesbébés-boomers, la génération X etles « enfants du millénaire ».

Le troisième jeudi de février, lesskieurs ont participé à la 2e Soiréeannuelle de ski en famille àCrabbe Mountain. On s’inquiétaitdu mauvais temps la veille, maisla météo s’est avérée fantastiquetant pour la balade que pour le ski!Après le ski, nous nous sommestous regroupés au pavillon pourprendre un verre et déguster desnachos et de la pizza. La soirée deski est un magnifique ajout à notrecalendrier annuel. Il s’agit d’unesuperbe activité hivernale pour lesmembres et leurs familles.

sur la terrasse du pavillon.Environ trente personnes sontpassées prendre le déjeuner et il yavait de six à huit recettes de chilien compétition pour la premièreplace. Les fonds recueillis ont étéremis à la banque alimentaire deFredericton. L’activité comportait unconcours du meilleur chili (gagnants :Leah Belyea, membre stagiaire;Kristin Banks, ing., Jeff Earle,ing., et Ryan Dunbar, ing., deDillon Consulting Ltd. pour leur « chili à quarante piastres ») et unconcours du chili le plus épicé(gagnant : James Hoyt, ing., duministère des Transports du N.-B.pour son chili « Hava Some Lava »).Ainsi a été lancé notre concoursde chili annuel, un savoureuxajout à notre calendrier!

En juillet, la section a tenu unesoirée sociale impromptue à labrasserie Wilser’s Room.Environ dix personnes se sontprésentées pour passer un vendrediaprès-midi venteux sous le soleil.C’est très agréable de rassemblernos membres pour profiter de toutce que se passe au centre-ville deFredericton en été. Nous avonsdégusté des boissons froides à laterrasse du deuxième étage quisurplombe la « Tannerie ». Restezà l’affut d’autres activités dugenre l’été prochain.

Dès le lendemain, la section tenaitune activité d’une demi-journée auTreeGo de Mactaquac, près duparc provincial Mactaquac. Unorage de tonnerre annoncé laveille menaçait l’activité, maisnous avons quand même pu latenir comme prévu! Ceux qui s’ysont rendus ont pu franchirpresque tout le parcours avantqu’il ne soit fermé en raison desconditions météorologiques. Maisils sont repartis enrichis par leurexpérience avec en main une invitation à revenir plus tard et ce,gratuitement.

En mars, deux équipes représentantla région de Fredericton – lesPylons de Fredericton et lesStantec Iron Ringers – se sontrendues à l’Î.-P.-É. participer autournoi de hockey desingénieurs de l’Atlantique. Desliens se sont noués avec lesingénieurs et géoscientifiques del’ensemble des provinces del’Atlantique. Nos félicitations àl’équipe de Bathurst qui s’estclassée au premier rang global.L’an prochain, le tournoi sedéroulera à Halifax, et Bathurst ensera l’hôte en 2012.

La soirée de curling a très bienfonctionné cette année. Le CapitalWinter Club était plein à craquer,quarante joueurs s’étant présentéspour du chili et de petits pains,accompagnés de boissons et pourlancer quelques pierres. Tant lesdébutants que les joueurs chevronnésont aimé leur soirée sur la glace.Nous avons joué deux parties,puis nous sommes rentrés auchaud pour fêter avec quelquesverres et assister à une petitecérémonie de « remise des prix ».Tout annonce une soirée aussibien réussie cette année.

En juin, la section a organisé unevisite technique guidée du bar-rage de Mactaquac. Certainsmembres n’avaient jamais visitéles installations, alors que d’autresne voulaient pas rater l’occasion devisiter les installations à nouveau.Près de trente personnes se sontjointes à nous pour la visite et lesemployés d’Énergie NB ont étéd’excellents guides. Parmi les faitssaillants, se tenir au-dessus desvannes à l’intérieur d’une desgénératrices et examiner la troussed’outils laissée par les fournisseursdes génératrices 5 et 6.

J’espère que vous êtes venus à notreconcours du meilleur chili auparc Odell en juin dernier! Il s’estdéroulé en plein air à l’heure dudéjeuner par un sublime vendredi

et des ponts de corde suspendus àtraverser à pieds, reliés à desplates-formes suspendues entreles arbres.

Le mois d’août s’est ouvert sur laJournée de plaisir en famille auBucket Club. Cette année, lajournée de plaisir en famille a étéla meilleure de tous les temps! LeBucket Club a fait de très grandsefforts pour améliorer sa piscineet ses glissades d’eau. Les nouvellespiscines et glissades sont fantas-tiques, et nous n’aurions pusouhaiter meilleure température.Les enfants, les parents, lesgrands-parents, les oncles et lestantes se sont tous très bienamusés. Nous avons mangé dumaïs en épis, du homard, dessteaks, de la salade et des hotdogs.Ce n’est certainement pas la nourriture qui manquait! En plusdes nouveaux jeux aquatiques, il yavait d’autres activités dont profiter, par exemple les paniersde basket, le terrain d’exercice etle mini-golf.

En raison du temps inclément,notre activité de septembre a étéreportée à octobre, mais les prévisions météorologiquesannonçaient de pires conditionspour la reprise! Malgré les inquiétudesmétéorologiques, le tournoi degolf annuel de la section aencore une fois connu un grandsuccès! Environ trente participantssont venus jouer au golf au clubde Riverbend cette année. Lamétéo a été acceptable la plupartdu temps, sauf pour une aversetorrentielle que les participants nesont pas prêts d’oublier. Félicitationsà l’équipe d’OPUS qui a encoreune fois remporté le tournoi cetteannée et félicitations aussi à tousceux qui ont remporté des prix.

BOUUUU!!! La soirée hantée del’AIGNB au Centre des arts dela rue Charlotte a été à tout lemoins terriblement horrifiantecette année. Des équipes

d’ingénieurs et de géoscientifiquesde la section de Fredericton ontfait appel à tous leurs talentsartistiques et techniques pour terrifier et hanter les visiteurs lesoir de l’Halloween lors de ladeuxième édition de la visiteguidée hantée annuelle! Une publicité bien coordonnée et unbon soutien des médias ont aidé àpasser le mot au sujet des effortsde l’AIGNB et, en conséquence,plus de 14 000 $ ont été recueillispour soutenir la programmationde sensibilisation du Centre.

Des équipes d’employés d’entreprisesde génie-conseil de la région deFredericton et du gouvernementprovincial se sont bien amusées àconvertir ce vieil édifice du centredes arts en créant des « posteseffrayants » qui ont permis unevisite guidée macabre et amusante!Merci au comité des « BOUUUeurs» de la section qui ont consacré denombreuses heures au Centre àinstaller ce qui est devenu nonseulement une activité phare de lasection, mais aussi une « activitéfrédérictonienne » très courue.Merci à tous ceux qui ont travailléavec tant d’acharnement pourériger leur « poste effrayant »!Nous espérons encore une foiseffrayer toute personne quifranchira le seuil des portes de cevieil édifice grinçant l’anprochain. Pour les abonnés deFaceBook, vous trouverez des photos et des vidéos dans la pagedu groupe APEGNB HalloweenHaunted House Tour for theCharlotte Street Arts Centre.

Au mois de novembre, nous avonsenvoyé des invitations à une visite technique guidée du Muséecanadien du génie militaire dela base de Gagetown, mais, commeles membres de notre section sonttrès occupés, la visite a été annuléepar suite du manque d’intérêt.Inutile de s’inquiéter, cependant,car cette activité aura lieu en2011. Soyez aux aguets pour la

nouvelle date. Nous avons hâte àcette visite, car le musée abrite degrands pans de notre histoire del’ingénierie! Il abrite environ 35 000 artefacts qui témoignentde l’histoire de toutes les facettesdu génie militaire canadien, du18e siècle à nos jours.

En décembre, la section a tenu un« brise-glace vacancier » auDelta Fredericton pour ceux quin’avaient pas pu se rendre à laréception provinciale à Moncton.Les participants ont ainsi eu l’occasion de se détendre et de semettre dans l’esprit des Fêtes!

Merci! Les quatre dernièresannées ont été merveilleuses,mais, hélas, mon mandat de 2010à la présidence a officiellementpris fin! En tant que présidentesortante de 2011, je serai heureusede siéger au conseil de la sectionpour aider à organiser des activités.Merci à tous ceux qui ont renducette année si fantastique. Siéger aubureau de section donne l’occasionde rencontrer de nombreux collègueset de se faire de nouveaux amis.

Au moment où ce rapport serapublié, les personnes désignées auconseil de 2011 de la section deFredericton auront sans douteofficiellement accepté leur chargelors de l’assemblée généralannuelle de la section qui a lieu enjanvier 2011.

After the decision was made, theBranch brainstormed and cameup with a new winter activity.Plans are underway to hold theevent during the 2012 MarchBreak as part of NationalEngineering Month. Details haveyet to be finalized but we reallyhope the Branch’s new flagshipevent will bring back, and evensurpass, the engineering enthusiasm created by theAPEGNB Igloo BuildingCompetition. To be continued…

In 2011, we are also hoping tohold a few more Branch activities,especially the Annual GolfTournament. We would really likefor this to become a successfulBranch tradition.

Due to changes in planning andcommittee priorities, and aftermany discussions, it was decidedthis past fall, that 2009 was thelast year for the APEGNB IglooBuilding Competition. The giantice igloo which broke a worldrecord will still be a part of theGrand Falls Winter Festival, but itwill no longer carry the APEGNBbanner. It is now being built by theZip Zag group.

important advancements onnumerous issues. Canadiansfrom coast to coast to coastmust be made aware of the roleengineers and engineering playin their everyday lives and theexciting potential a career inengineering can provide.

After a successful Board workshopin Montreal last June, EngineersCanada set its priorities andgoals for the 2010-11 year. I havethe pleasure of serving on theexecutive and finance committees,as well as being the Chair of theSynergy Task Force.

SYNERGYAs a member of the SynergyTask Force, the purpose andwork of the Task Force has beenreported both in previous AnnualMagazines and in previousissues of Engenuity. TheSynergy Task Force's goal was tolook back at the past 70 years tohelp us chart a new course ofopportunities for EngineersCanada and its members so thatwe can continue to be leaders inCanadian society. Much of 2010was spent developing a new governance model. I am pleasedto report that the Board and theconstituent members haveapproved a new set of by-lawsthat involved a plenary sessionin February, acceptance of thegovernance recommendations inMay, approval of the by-laws inOctober and, finally, ministerial

approval under the CanadaCorporations Act. Five guidingprinciples were applied in theestablishment of this governanceproposal and embodied in the by-laws:

• Provide full and fair representation by constituentassociations.

• Ensure the commitment and engagement of the constituent associations.

• Provide role clarity on theactivities/initiatives where theconstituent associationsrequire Engineers Canada todevelop a national consensusand take a lead role when requested.

• Ensure open and transparentcommunications.

• Ensure timely and committeddecision‐making.

The final phase of the task force'swork, financial sustainability, willoccupy the majority of 2011 andI hope to report on a similar success this time next year.

FINANCESDuring 2010, I have been Chairof the Finance Committee.Currently, I am the executivemember on that committee.

The 2011 budget and the preliminary budgets for 2012-2013were approved by the Board.The Finance Committee continuesto work to sustain a balancedbudget, in keeping with the

Thiswas followed in November witha webinar introducing theselicensure awareness tools to theambassadors for each CA. Samplematerials for the program areavailable on the GeoscientistsCanada website.

A new national framework ongeoscience professional practiceguidelines was approved at theNovember board of directorsmeeting in Toronto. GeoscientistsCanada recommends it for useby its member associationsacross Canada.

The new framework is set out inthe Geoscientists Canada documententitled: “Framework for theDevelopment of Geoscience

Professional Practice Guidelines”,a copy of which can be viewedat www.ccpg.ca

The framework reviews the purposeof practice guidelines and thechallenges associated with bothdeveloping and maintaining suchdocuments. It then sets out collectively agreed-to principlesconcerning the need for guidelines;the process and methodology inpreparing guidelines; and thestructure and components of atypical guideline.

Work on this framework has beenthe focus of intense activity overthe past 18 months as part of aproject which received fundingassistance from the Governmentof Canada’s Labour MobilityProgram, administered by HumanResources and Skills DevelopmentCanada. All 10 of the regulatorybodies (the professional associationsthat comprise the membershipin Geoscientists Canada) wereengaged in concluding theframework, while seven of themember associations were directlyinvolved in its development, throughactive participation on the project’snational steering committee.

George R. Cavey, P.Geo, ofVancouver, BC has been recognizedas the fifth recipient of the CCPGCanadian Professional GeoscienceAward (2010). The award honoursan exemplary member of one of the constituent associationswho has made a valuable contribution to the Canadiangeoscience community.

Mr. Cavey was an instrumentalmember of the task force to register professional geoscientistsin BC from 1989‐1990. He wenton in 1991 to serve as a foundingmember of APEGBC’s geosciencecommittee, then on Council andon the association’s investigationcommittee, where he served until2009. Following the successfulintegration of geoscientists intoAPEGBC, he became presidentof Geoscientists Canada from2003-2004. He also served hissector extensively, assisting theCanadian Securities Administratorsas a member of the mining,technical, advisory and mentoringcommittee, leading up to andfollowing the introduction ofNational Instrument 43-101.

COMMITTEE REPORTS


Professional registration of geoscientists in Canada ispresently legislated in 10 juris-dictions, representing seven jointassociations and three stand-alonegeoscience associations.

Newfoundland, New Brunswick,Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta,British Columbia, the NorthwestTerritories and Nunavut, areassociations with joint engineeringand geoscience membership.

Ontario, Québec and Nova Scotiaare the only provinces that haveseparate geoscience licencingassociations. The Association ofProfessional Engineers of theYukon is presently forming areview committee to proposechanges to the Engineers Actthat would include geoscientists.These changes are expected tobe received favourably by thegovernment and would representthe eighth joint association, leaving PEI as the only provincewithout provincial registration ofgeoscientists. As of November2009, there were approximately10,000 geoscientist registrantsacross 10 associations.

CCPG operates from sharedspace with APEGBC at their headoffice Burnaby, C. OliverBonham, P.Geo., serves as thefull-time general manager for theassociation. The office is furthersupported by Rakesh Kumarwho acts as a part-time assistantfor CCPG, although he is a full-time employee of APEGBC.Previously, operations dependedon voluntary service with no full-time employees. These newarrangements have substantiallyimproved communication withconstituent associations (CAs),general CCPG operations, andorganization of meetings.Further information on CCPGcan be found at their websitewww.ccpg.ca.

The role of the Committee is toreview the submissions from themembers to confirm compliancein the program.

During 2010, the ContinuingCompetency AssuranceCommittee met several times insmall groups to review files submitted by members.

The Committee continues tostruggle with the consistency ofsubmissions by members as wellas the general understanding ofthe program by members.

One common issue that arisesconcerns retired members whoare eligible for review.Oftentimes, there is a memberrequest for exemption based onthe fact they are retired. Retiredmembers simply need to state

that they are not practicing andwould then be taken from thepool of competency reviews.

The intent of the program is todemonstrate a due diligence thatour practicing members are continuing to develop them-selves and stay current withtheir profession. If they are notpracticing, there is no need todemonstrate continuing competence. Clarification ofdues payable for life members(practicing vs. non practicing)should help to clarify this.

Based on the above, and ondirection from Council strategysessions, APEGNB Council willbe taking steps in 2011 to reviewthe content and format of theentire program. It is likely thatall practicing members will beasked to declare their continuedcompetency hours annually aspart of annual membership registrations. This will be consistent with other provincesacross Canada.

he Ordnance Buildinghas been part of SaintJohn’s history for over160 years. This building,

which was originally built in1842 to house weapons and ordnance stores for the BritishArmy Garrison is situated on thesouthern peninsula of SaintJohn. Solid, rectangular and with1300 square meters of floor spaceand upper windows facing thesea, it was ideal for monitoringincoming vessels approachingthe inner Saint John Harbour.

Since then, the building has seenmany uses. In 1995, Canada’sDepartment of National Defensedeclared the building surplusand it was abandoned.Commercial Properties Limitedof Saint John, NB, purchased theproperty from the Canadian government in 2009 and waseager to rehabilitate this historic building.

Major restoration began inJanuary 2010 to bring the buildingin line with today’s standardsand code requirements.

When completed, the three-storeyhistorical landmark will operateas a state-of-the-art businesscentre while its rehabilitatedexterior will continue to showcase the building’s originalremarkable sandstone structure.

The complete retrofit of themechanical and electrical buildingsystems incorporated the latestadvances for energy efficiency inthe selection of equipment forheating, air conditioning, ventilation and lighting. As aresult, Efficiency NB recognizedit with an award in January 2011.

Fundy Engineering designed themechanical building systemswhich included:

HEATING SYSTEMSThe heating plant and heatingwater distribution piping for thebuilding underwent a completeoverhaul. An entirely new boilerroom was constructed and anew high-efficiency, natural gas-fired heating system wasinstalled. The primary heatsource selected for the buildingwas a hot water infloor radiantheating system. The new boilershave a high operating efficiencyresulting in lower annual operating costs and low maintenance costs.

VENTILATION SYSTEMSAn air exchange system to provide outside air and exhauststale inside air from the occupiedareas of the building was designedand selected to meet ASHRAE62 Standards. The air handlingsystem would aid in maintaininga comfortable and healthyindoor working environment byreducing the presence of highlevels of humidity, odours, carbon dioxide (CO2), allergens,pollens and toxins.

AIR CONDITIONINGThe design and selection of theair conditioning system presentedmany challenges. The building’sroof structure was not designedto carry heavy loading fromrooftop mechanical equipment.Access to the basement of thebuilding was limited. The architect, in conjunction with the

owner, wanted to have the oldbrick work, wood beams, wooddeck and columns exposed tomaintain a heritage appearance.This meant that all the piping,equipment, ductwork, etc, wouldbe exposed.

Fundy Engineering’s goal was todesign an air conditioning systemthat was invisible, flexible, highperforming and nearly silent.The City Multi VariableRefrigerant Flow (VRF) Systemby Mitsubishi Electric was chosen for these reasons. Therewas a wide line-up of indoor fancoil units in combination with aflexible piping system to suit thebuilding layout.

THE BUILDINGMANAGEMENTThe final and key element in themechanical engineering designwas to provide a building management system solutionthat would integrate the operation of the heating, coolingand ventilation systems.

A BACnet system using automatedlogic controls integrated with theMitsubishi City Multi network toprovide seamless integration ofall mechanical equipment.

The control system consisted ofa high-speed, peer-to-peer network of DDC controllers andan operator workstation residingand communicating in a BACnetinternet work. The operatorworkstation allows the user tointerface with the network viamulti-tasking dynamic colorgraphics. Each mechanical system, building floor plan, andcontrol device is depicted bypoint and click graphics. Amodem was provided for remoteaccess to the network.

CONTRACT VALUE:$4.0 Million

CONTRACTOR:ACL Construction Ltd.

COMPLETION:August, 2010

The Commission’s main trunksewer, or the main gravity sewerline directing all sewage flows tothe wastewater treatment facility,was originally constructed in1971. Due to its age, populationgrowth and peak summer flowincreases, it was found that thecapacity of the 40-year-old trunksewer pipeline was often exceeded.

Following a study by theCommission on the condition ofits sewerage collection system, itwas found that the existing trunksewer was a significant source ofgroundwater infiltration resultingfrom cracks and leaking joints inthe pipe. The peak flows fromthe Commission’s system wereup to 10 times greater than thebase flows. Crandall EngineeringLtd. was commissioned to providethe detailed design, project

management and on-site supervision to replace the existingline with a new 5.5 km longtrunk sewer.

The project included manyunique challenges includinginstalling a pipe in depths of upto 8 metres, hard rock excavationsrequiring blasting, high ground-water table, complex land andeasement acquisition throughdensely developed areas in theheart of Shediac and neighbouringcommunities, and dealing withexisting sewage flows of up to37,850 m3/day (10.0 million US gallons per day) during construction. The new trunksewer pipe was constructed inparallel with the existing line,with sizes ranging from 450 mmdiameter to 900 mm diameter,all while leaving the existingpipe in service.

Several critical connections werecompleted during the cutoverprocess from the existing line tothe new line, and at times theentire flow from the system waspumped using temporarysewage pumps and stand-bygenerators. The project scopealso included restoration ofroads, trails, fields, by-passpumping and abandonment ofthe existing 40 year old trunk sewer.

The total cost of this project wasapproximately $4 million and itwas completed over a 14-monthperiod, including the winter.

With the new trunk sewer nowcommissioned, the GreaterShediac Sewerage Commissioncan provide for future growth ofits service area for years tocome, and the infiltration hasbeen reduced substantially. Earlyindications are that the dailysewage flows are reduced by morethan 15%, thus protecting theShediac Bay and the environment.
