The next 43 years saw Mr. Smithembark on a stellar career in theprivate sector that establishedhis reputation as a leadingCanadian specialist in the development and utilization of land registration and cadastral systems.

Twenty-three years of his career(1965-1988) were spent at ADI Limited where he becamean associate and senior survey consultant.

One of his more memorableprojects during that time was thedredging of the shipping channelfrom Newcastle to the mouth ofthe Miramichi River. Mr. Smithserved as project manager andtechnical leader for all surveyingand quantity measurement associated with the work. Healso appeared as an expert witness in the litigation that followed the project in theFederal Court of Canada in 1983.

In 1988, Mr. Smith co-foundedGeoplan Consultants. By 2004,his company employed morethan 25 people in Frederictonand Victoria, BC.

In New Brunswick, Ed Smith has been involved with, or managed, many types of surveying projects for the past45 years—including the award-winning Fredericton-to-Moncton Highway and the NewBrunswick Digital TopographicDatabase—a $300,000 datastructuring project.

As president of TerratechConsultants (a consortium corporation of four major surveyfirms in the Maritime Provinces),Mr. Smith was directly responsible for the procurement,allocation and management ofhuman/equipment resources forthe execution of the Maritimes &Northeast Pipeline’s $15 millionsurvey. The project included thecreation of all engineering surveys and plans as well ascadastral plans for the 500 kmnatural gas pipeline.

1820s. Mr. Miller’s job includesorganizing and developing themuseum’s geology and palaeontology collection.

“One of the things of which I ammost proud.” said Dr. Miller, “isthat the museum collection cannow facilitate the research ofothers, providing access to specimens and a place todeposit scientifically significantmaterial here in the Province.We work with geologists fromacross the globe.”

When Dr. Miller became curatorof the museum’s geological collection, it was largely mothballed, having been mostlyuntouched since the 1920s. Thecollection, numbering in the tensof thousands of specimens, isnow completely organized withinformation stored in an electronic database which wasone of the first in Canada to beaccessible on-line.

Protecting New Brunswick’sgeologic record has also been apriority project for Dr. Miller.

New Brunswick’s new HeritageConservation Act, finalized inAugust 2010, included

contributions from Dr. Millerconcerning protection of fossilsand significant fossil sites inNew Brunswick. The Provincenow has one of the most comprehensive frameworks inCanada for managing palaeontological resources.

Dr. Miller has published widelyin the technical literature inpalaeontology and is perhapsbest known in international scientific circles for the 1997 discovery near Campbellton ofthe world’s oldest articulatedshark fossil—representing aboutone-third the body of the shark.

He is also responsible for thediscovery of the largesteurypterid, or “sea scorpion,”ever found in New Brunswick.This animal was about four feetlong and is from the sameDevonian formation as the sharkfossil. Although the actual seascorpion fossil was in pieces andbadly flattened, Dr. Miller hasbeen able to produce modelsshowing what it would havelooked like when alive.

He has published more than 60 scientific papers on a varietyof topics with a focus on fossilsor fossil sites. His research hasincluded studies of:

• tiny spider-like trigonotarbids• walrus fossils• ancient lobe-finned fish


L.W. BAILEY AWARD

“You can’t avoid geoscience. It’s everywhere — in NewBrunswick’s coastal cliffs and islands, along our highways, evenin the stones we’ve used to build our cities. Geoscience hascontributed significantly to the wealth of this province andcarved an astounding prehistory for us to explore and enjoy.”

DR. RANDALL F. MILLER, P.Geo.

The L.W. Bailey Award is given in recognition of outstanding service or contributionto both the geoscience profession and the Province of New Brunswick. Named in honourof Loring W. Bailey, an energetic and productive geologist whose scientific work spannedthe 19th and 20th centuries and who became one of the most popular professors in thehistory of Kings College (UNB). The L.W. Bailey Award is the most prestigious award aprofessional geoscientist can receive from the Association.

Randall Miller,P.Geo., studied geology in thedepartment of earth

sciences at the University ofWaterloo and received his Ph.D.in Environmental Earth Sciencein 1984. His graduate researchdealt with climate change duringthe last ice age.

In 1986, after two years of contract research for theGeological Survey of Canadaand the Canadian Museum ofNature, Dr. Miller moved toSaint John to become the curator of geology andpalaeontology at the NewBrunswick Museum where hespecializes in fossils of theDevonian period, about 400 million years ago.

The museum traces its history to one of the oldest geologicalcollections in the country, withmineral and fossil specimenscollected as far back as the

Dr.

• some of the world’s oldestreptile footprints and,

• the history of geological dis-coveries in New Brunswick.

In addition to his ‘day job’, Dr. Miller can be heard and seen educating the publicabout geoscience through exhibitions, lectures, field tripsand media stories.

The popular “Our ChangingEarth” geology gallery at theNew Brunswick Museum, as well as temporary geology exhibitions that have toured theprovince, also reflect Dr. Miller’sdeep interest in communicatingthe science of geology to a broad

audience. His most popular writing includes the children’sbook, Will and the Giant Trilobite;and Rebuilt in Stone: Geology andthe Stone Buildings of Saint John,the latter co-authored with theNew Brunswick Museum curator of history and technology, Gary Hughes.

In October 2010, Dr. Miller’sextensive work in exploring,documenting and promotingStonehammer Geopark’s significance was rewarded whenthe area was named NorthAmerica’s first Global Geopark.

Dr. Miller has also played aninstrumental role in developing

and raising money for the New Brunswick Museum’s newvirtual exhibit—MagnificentRocks: Stories of New BrunswickRocks and Fossils. The web-based exhibition will highlight 11 of the province’sbest geology stories and linkthem to school curricula.

Dr. Miller is an adjunct professor inthe department of Earth Sciencesat the University of NewBrunswick and the recipient ofthe 2010 Distinguished ScientistAward ‘Gesner Medal’ from theAtlantic Geoscience Society.

In 2011, he was awarded theE.R. Ward Neale Medal fromthe Geological Association ofCanada (GAC) for his sustainedoutstanding efforts in sharingearth science with Canadians.

Dr. Miller has served on a number of committees andcouncils for the GAC, AtlanticGeoscience Society and theCanadian Quaternary Association.

He currently serves:

• on the Board of theStonehammer Geopark;

• as a member of the CanadianNational Committee forGeoparks;

• as a Canadian representativefor the InternationalCommission on the History ofGeological Sciences

For his tireless work exploring,documenting and promotingNew Brunswick’s geology andhis contributions to the scientific record, APEGNB ispleased to present Dr. Randall F.Miller, P.Geo.,with the L.W.Bailey Award.

Andrew McLeod referred the meeting to his reportson pages 26-29 as printed in the 2011 AnnualMagazine and presented the following verbal report:

“During past annual meetings, I’ve just referredmembers to my report in the Annual Magazinebut this year, I think it’s appropriate to reflect onhow far this Association has progressed in 10 years.

“When I joined APEGNB as executive director in2002, we had less than 4600 members, seven staffmembers and rented office space on BeaverbrookCourt. Our Council meetings had to be held off-site.

“Today, we have more than 5700 members, thesame number of staff and we own an award-winningoffice building which allows us to host our Councilmeetings in-house.

“The past 10 years has also seen APEGNB improveits communications from a 12-page, one-colourbulletin to a 52-page glossy news magazine. All ofour other communications materials have receiveda significant facelift including our advertising programwhich has become bigger, bolder and more memorable.

“Our Branches have benefitted from the improvedcommunications support and as a result, have

hosted large publicity-generating events includingworld record igloo building competitions, pumpkin flings, haunted tours and build-offs.

“Our ability to take advantage of web-based technologies is moving us toward our goal of a100% paperless office.

“We now have an extranet to facilitate secure document-sharing between Council, staff and suppliers.

“We have just completed our most successfulCouncil election –and it was conducted entirelyonline. So was the registration for this annual meeting.

“We have online dues payment and an onlinejob board.

“APEGNB’s Outreach Program has become morestructured and we’re able to help fund 20 student-basedSTEM projects every year. We have an expandedawards program which means more of our membersare receiving recognition for the work they do.

“Our improved government relations has resultedin well-attended MLA receptions and a newLimitation of Actions Act for all professionals.

“It is truly an honour to work with such a progressive Council, supportive membership andhardworking staff. The next decade promises tobe just as exciting.”

s my one-year term serving as President of ourAssociation rapidlyapproaches completion, I

must take a moment to pauseand reflect on this experience.The one question I am mostoften asked is: “Have youenjoyed your term as Presidentof Engineers and GeoscientistsNew Brunswick?”

As I search for a single word thatwould best describe this pastyear, “gratifying” springs tomind. This role has given me theopportunity to meet many amazing people both inside andoutside our professions as Iattended meetings and eventsacross the country.

There are so many people whowork diligently behind the scenesto ensure that APEGNB fulfills its mandate and effectively represents our membership atthe national level. Althoughopinions and positions on certainissues may differ from time totime, it has become abundantlyclear to me that we all share acommon goal – to serve andprotect public interest and safety.

Many long-standing issues havebeen advanced over the past year

and some new challenges havebeen raised that my successorJean Boudreau, P.Eng. will workon during her term in office. Iam confident she will do a fabulous job representing ourAssociation both provincially andnationally. It is important thatwe continue to work closely withour sister associations, EngineersCanada, and GeoscientistsCanada, to avoid moving issuesto the back burner when we areconfronted with new challenges.

Reviewing my incomingPresident-Elect statement, Iincluded a list of seven challengesthat our professions continue toface. Two of these challengesincluded enhancing mobility ofour members and establishing anational framework for assessment and accreditationof Internationally TrainedProfessionals (ITP’s).

The Engineers Canada CEOGroup has taken the initiative toaddress these issues head onthrough the implementation ofthe Canadian Framework forLicensure (CFL). The first threeelements of the CFL have beendeveloped and will be presentedto the Engineers Canada Boardin February 2012 for endorsement.Implementation of the Frameworkwill be left to the discretion of theconstituent associations to adopt.

Our chief executive officer,Andrew McLeod, FEC (Hon.), asChair of the national CEO Group,will play an important role toensure that the proper framework,procedures, and protocol are inplace to aid engineering regulatorsacross the country. The frameworkwill provide further assurancethat our members meet the highest possible level of standardsfor professional practice.

Over the past year, I have alsohad the distinct pleasure of representing APEGNB at theannual general meetings ofmany of our sister associations;three Iron Ring ceremonies andEngineers Canada meetings inOttawa, Ontario and Halifax,Nova Scotia. Along the way, Ihave forged wonderful friendshipsthat I know will continue longpast my tenure on APEGNB’sCouncil. It would not be possibleto provide all the details of everyevent and meeting that I attended,but as is customary, here are afew highlights:

GLOBALIZATION OFENGINEERING EDUCATIONAND PRACTICE; IMPACTSON REGULATIONS IN CANADAMay 5, 2011Ottawa, ON

Successis not a destination, but a journey.I hope that Rachael’s journey withus will continue for many years.

It has been both an honour anda privilege to have been able toserve the membership of thisvibrant Association this pastyear. The experience has givenme opportunities to act as anadvocate on your behalf for theimportant role that engineersand geoscientists play in driving

the economy and improving thequality of life of all Canadians. Iwish to extend my appreciationto my fellow Council members,and the many volunteers at boththe Committee and Branch levelsfor their excellent assistance andsupport over the past year.

Finally, my personal thank you toour CEO, Andrew McLeod and theamazing APEGNB staff for theirsupport and guidance. I extendbest wishes to our incomingPresident Jean Boudreau, P.Eng.as well as the new Council. OurAssociation thrives on volunteersand could not continue withoutthem. I encourage all membersto get actively involved and giveback to this Association so thatwe may continue to move our professions forward.


Rachael Christenson,FEC (Hon.)

lors que mon mandat d’unan à la présidence de notreassociation tire rapidementà sa fin, il me faut prendre

un moment pour m’arrêter etréfléchir à cette expérience. Laquestion que l’on me pose le plussouvent, c’est : « Est-ce que tu asaimé ton mandat à la présidenced’Ingénieurs et géoscientifiquesNouveau-Brunswick? »

En cherchant le mot qui décriraitle mieux ma dernière année, c’estle mot « gratifiant » qui me vientà l’esprit. Dans ce rôle, j’ai eu lachance de rencontrer de nom-breuses personnes fantastiques,tant à l’intérieur qu’à l’extérieurde nos professions, alors quej’assistais à des réunions et à desévénements partout au pays.

Il y a tellement de gens qui travaillent diligemment encoulisses pour assurer quel’AIGNB remplisse son mandat etreprésente efficacement nosmembres au niveau national. Bienque les opinions et les prises deposition puissent diverger surcertaines questions, il m’estapparu très clairement que nousavons tous un objectif commun– servir et protéger l’intérêt publicet la sécurité du public.

Plusieurs dossiers de longue dateont évolué au cours de la dernièreannée et quelques nouveauxdéfis se sont présentés dont ma

remplaçante, Jean Boudreau,ing., s’occupera au cours de sonmandat. Je suis persuadé qu’ellesaura très bien représenter notreassociation, au niveau tantprovincial que national. Il estimportant de continuer à collaborer étroitement avec nosassociations sœurs, avecIngénieurs Canada et avecGéoscientifiques Canada pouréviter de renvoyer aux oubliettescertains dossiers à mesure quede nouveaux défis nous arrivent.

En repassant ma déclaration àtitre de président élu, je revois uneliste de sept défis qui restent àrelever par nos professions. Parmices défis, il y a l’améliorationde la mobilité de nos membreset l’établissement d’un cadrenational d’évaluation et d’agrément des professionnelsformés à l’étranger.

Le groupe des chefs de la directiond’Ingénieurs Canada a pris l’initiative de régler cette questionen travaillant à l’instaurationd’un Cadre national relatif audroit d’exercice (CCDE). Les troispremiers éléments du CCDE ontété élaborés et ils seront présentésau conseil d’administrationd’Ingénieurs Canada en février2012 pour qu’il les endosse. Lamise en œuvre du cadre seralaissée à la discrétion des associations membres.

En tant que président du groupenational des chefs de la direction,notre chef de la direction,Andrew McLeod, FIC (hon.),aura un rôle important à jouerpour assurer que les instancesde réglementation de l’ensembledu pays disposent d’un cadre, deprocédures et de protocolesadéquats. Le cadre apportera unegarantie supplémentaire que nosmembres répondent aux normesles plus élevées possibles dansl’exercice de leurs professions.

Au cours de la dernière année,j’ai aussi eu le grand plaisir dereprésenter l’AIGNB aux assembléesgénérales annuelles d’un grandnombre de nos associationssœurs, à trois cérémonies del’Anneau de fer, ainsi qu’à desréunions d’Ingénieurs Canada àOttawa (Ontario) et à Halifax(Nouvelle-Écosse). Cheminfaisant, j’ai établi de magnifiquesamitiés qui se poursuivront sansdoute bien au delà de mon passage au Conseil de l’AIGNB. Il m’est impossible de vousraconter en détail chacune desactivités et des réunions auxquelles j’ai assisté, mais,comme le veut la coutume, envoici quelques faits saillants.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER/SECRETARY-TREASURER’S REPORT

ANDREW MCLEOD, FEC (HON.)

BUILDING EXPANSIONOn July 22, 2011 at the DeltaFredericton, APEGNB Councilheld a “Special Meeting” of themembers and members-in-trainingfor the purpose of obtainingmembership approval to carry outan expansion of the APEGNBbuilding at 183 Hanwell Road in

Fredericton. Upon membershipapproval, tenders for the buildingrenovation were received andthe low bid submission fromBird Construction was accepted.As this report goes to press, weanticipate construction to havealready been completed.

CANADIAN FRAMEWORKFOR LICENSURE (CFL)As Chair of Engineers Canada’snational CEO Group, my top priority has been the CanadianFramework for Licensure. TheCFL is a dynamic model for useby all Canadian engineering regulators to enhance their abilityto regulate the profession inorder that the public interest is

better served and protected.The framework will developfoundational documents to helpengineering regulators acrossCanada improve their legislativeframework to enhance equity,consistency, fairness and timeliness of services. The uniformqualifications, recognition,admissions, and discipline andenforcement procedures will resultin more efficient national andinternational mobility as well.

The CFL focuses on essential elements of the regulated engineering profession in Canadaand develops key considerationand policy direction for each one.To date, we have three elementsthat we hope will be brought tothe Engineers Canada Board forendorsement in February 2012:

• Continuing ProfessionalDevelopment;

• Accountability of EngineeringOrganizations and

• Negotiating InternationalRecognition Agreements.

ENGINEERS CANADASEMI-ANNUAL MEETING One of the highlights of theEngineers Canada semi-annualmeeting held in Ottawa in Octoberwas an informal ParliamentaryReception organized by EngineersCanada to raise awareness of thevalue that the engineering

profession can bring to publicpolicy development. The list ofattendees for this event includedMembers of Parliament, Senators,and their staff. We were veryfortunate and pleased that twoof our New Brunswick MPs wereable to attend: Mike Allen, MPfor Tobique-Mactaquac and Hon.Keith Ashfield, Minister ofFisheries and Oceans and MP for Fredericton.

As chair of the national CEOGroup, I was asked to representEngineers Canada at a news conference held in Ottawa onDecember 5. The HonourableDiane Finley, Minister ofHuman Resources and SkillsDevelopment Canada, announcedfunding worth $785,438 toward thedevelopment of a competency-based assessment system forengineering work experience.

NEW BRUNSWICK REALESTATE ASSOCIATIONIn October 2011, I was appointedby the Attorney General to be apublic representative on theBoard of Directors for the NewBrunswick Real Estate Board.

COMMUNICATIONSAs usual, our communicationsprogram continues to evolve and adapt to new media andmarketplace challenges.

In 2011, our website userresearch indicated a need to takeadvantage of Web 2.0 technologiesand design. The new APEGNBwebsite is more ‘intuitive’ and provides easier access to new content, secure payment forms and results in a more streamlined user experience overall. Certainaspects of the site are still being tested and tweaked butwe’re targeting early March asthe official launch date of ournew bilingual site.

Another successful online initiativelaunched in 2011 was APEGNB’sTwitter page. Every week, morepeople ‘follow’ APEGNB’s tweetsto learn how engineers and geoscientists are driving innovation,improving the world’s quality oflife and attracting new people tothe professions. In addition tothe Association’s members, ourfollowers include students, professors, politicians and peoplefrom around the world whoenjoy reading about what’s newin engineering and geoscience. Ifmembers don’t have a Twitteraccount, they can still read all ofour latest tweets on the homepage of our new website.



Traditional print-based commu-nications still play an importantrole in our communications program—especially when itcomes to event marketing.

Newspaper ads, banners,posters, flyers, presentationsand/or outdoor media, as well asAPEGNB branded products, wereused to support a range ofAssociation and Branch eventsincluding the:

• MLA Reception• Engineers Canada

Fellowship Awards• APEGNB Pumpkin Fling

(Northeastern )• APEGNB Haunted Tour

(Fredericton)• APEGNB Drop of Genius

(Northwestern)• Saint John Branch High

School Presentation• Lorne Middle School

display board• Northwestern Career Days

In addition to handling APEGNB’sprovincial communications priorities, our director of communications, Melissa Mertz,FEC (Hon.) also sits on theNational Engineering Week andNational Women & AboriginalAdvisory Committees.

IN CLOSINGI would like to congratulateBrent Smith, P.Eng., FEC, onbecoming President of EngineersCanada. It has been an honour towork with President Smith in myrole as chair of the national CEOGroup and as a representative onthe executive committee ofEngineers Canada.

It has also been a pleasure workingwith APEGNB’s President, DarrylFord, P.Eng., this year. I’mthankful for his leadership andfriendship. I look forward toworking with President-ElectJean Boudreau, P.Eng. And asalways, I am proud of our Councilwhose decisive and progressiveapproach to directing the courseof this Association improves the

life of our members and protectsthe public interests.

I am deeply appreciative of thehundreds of volunteers who givetirelessly of their time and energy to this Association.

Finally, a big thank you to mystaff. I am blessed to have sucha dedicated and knowledgeablegroup who value each of ourmembers. They are a joy to workwith. I would especially like tocongratulate RachaelChristenson, FEC (Hon.), ourdirector of administration, onher 20 years of exceptional service to APEGNB.


SECRETARY-TREASURER’SREPORTOur latest fiscal year ended on December31, 2011. From a financial perspectivewe finished the year in a loss position of $ 884.00. Membership growth continuesto exceed expectations as we approachthe 5,362 member mark. Despite the smallloss, APEGNB is in good financial shape andis more than capable of carrying out itsregulatory responsibilities.

The audited financial statements in 2011saw increases in Licencees andCertificates of Authorization revenue, registration fees, advertising and sundryrevenue. Expenses increased over budgetdue to unplanned expenditures to:

• improve our file scanning/digitalarchiving capabilities;

• improve the security of our computer systems;

• update our website and,• hire an additional employee.

As we head into our 92nd year, Council isproposing a budget that allows us to continue to improve and diversify ourmember services without sacrificing ourfinancial strength.

AGRANDISSEMENT DENOTRE BÂTIMENTLe 22 juillet 2011 au DeltaFredericton, le Conseil de l’AIGNBa convoqué une assembléeextraordinaire de ses membreset de ses membres stagiaires,afin d’obtenir leur approbationpour procéder à l’agrandissementde l’immeuble de l’AIGNB au183 du chemin Hanwell à

Fredericton. Après l’approbationdes membres, les soumissionspour la rénovation du bâtimentont été reçues et la plus bassesoumission – celle présentée parBird Construction – a été acceptée.Au moment où ce rapport irasous presse, nous prévoyons queles travaux de constructionseront déjà terminés.

CADRE NATIONAL RELATIFAU DROIT D’EXERCICEÀ titre de président du groupe deschefs de direction d’IngénieursCanada, ma principale priorité aété le cadre national relatif au

droit d’exercice. Le cadre nationalest un modèle dynamique mis àla disposition de toutes lesinstances de réglementationcanadiennes pour renforcer leurcapacité de réglementer la profession, afin de mieux serviret protéger l’intérêt public. Envertu de ce cadre, on élaborera desdocuments de base pour aiderles instances de réglementationde la profession d’ingénieur del’ensemble du Canada à améliorerleur cadre législatif pour renforcerl’équité, la cohérence et laprestation de services en tempsopportun. L’uniformisation desprocédures de reconnaissancedes compétences, d’admission,de discipline et d’application desrèglements entraîneront uneplus grande efficacité en matièrede mobilité, à l’échelle tantnationale qu’internationale.

Le cadre national relatif au droitd’exercice met l’accent sur leséléments essentiels de la profes-sion d’ingénieur réglementée auCanada et élabore des axesstratégiques et des points clés àprendre en considération pourchacun d’entre eux. À ce jour,nous avons préparé trois de ceséléments que nous espéronsprésenter au conseil d’adminis-tration d’Ingénieurs Canada pourqu’il les endosse en février 2012 :

• le perfectionnement professionnel permanent;

• la reddition de compte desorganismes du génie;

• la négociation d’ententesinternationales de reconnaissance.

RÉUNION SEMI-ANNUELLED’INGÉNIEURS CANADAUn des faits saillants de la réunionsemi-annuelle d’Ingénieurs Canadatenue à Ottawa en octobre a étéla réception parlementaireinformelle organisée par IngénieursCanada pour sensibiliser lesinvités à la valeur que peutajouter la profession d’ingénieurau processus d’élaboration depolitiques publiques.

ASSOCIATION DES AGENTS IMMOBILIERS DU NOUVEAU-BRUNSWICKEn octobre 2011, le procureur général m’a nommé pour représenter le public au conseil d’administrationde l’Association des agentsimmobiliers du Nouveau-Brunswick.

COMMUNICATIONSComme à l’habitude, notre programme de communicationne cesse d’évoluer et des’adapter aux nouveaux médiaset aux défis du marché.

En 2011, des recherches auprèsdes usagers de notre site Webont révélé la nécessité de tirerprofit des technologies et de la

conception du Web 2.0. Le nouveau site Web de l’AIGNBest plus « intuitif » et permetd’accéder plus facilement auxnouveaux contenus; on y trouve




aussi des formulaires depaiement sécurisé, ce quidonne à l’utilisateur uneexpérience globalementplus conviviale. On enest toujours à mettre aupoint et à l’épreuve certains aspects du site,mais nous visons le début dumois de mars pour le lancementofficiel de notre nouveau siteWeb bilingue.

Une autre initiative fructueuselancée en ligne en 2011, c’est lapage Twitter de l’AIGNB. Chaquesemaine, de plus en plus de gens« suivent » les microbillets del’AIGNB pour savoir comment lesingénieurs et les géoscientifiquesalimentent l’innovation pouraméliorer la qualité de vie etattirer de nouvelles personnes àleurs professions. En plus desmembres de l’Association, nosdisciples comprennent des étudiants, des professeurs, despoliticiens et des gens du mondeentier qui aiment se tenir aucourant de ce qui se passe engénie et en sciences de la Terre.Si nos membres n’ont pas decompte sur Twitter, ils peuventquand même lire tous nos derniersmicrobillets sur la page d’accueilde notre nouveau site Web.

Les communications traditionnellessur papier continuent de jouerun rôle important dans notreprogramme de communication,surtout quand il s’agit de faire lapromotion d’événements.

Les annonces dans les journaux,les banderoles, les affiches, lescirculaires, les présentations oules sites extérieurs médiatisés ontété utilisés pour soutenir toute une

gamme d’activités del’Association etdes sections,notamment :

• la réception à l’intention des députésprovinciaux;• la remise destitres de Fellowd’IngénieursCanada;

• le concours Projetez-la-citrouillede l’AIGNB (Nord-Est);

RAPPORT DU SECRÉTAIRE-TRÉSORIERNotre dernier exercice financier s’est terminé le 31 décembre 2011. Sur le plan financier, nous avons terminél’année sur une perte de 884,00 $. Le nombre d’adhésionscontinue de dépasser les attentes, alors que nous nousapprochons des 5 362 membres. Malgré cette légère perte,l’AIGNB est en bonne position financière et est tout à faiten mesure de remplir ses responsabilités réglementaires.

On constate dans les états financiers vérifiés de 2011 uneaugmentation du revenu découlant de l’attribution de permisd’exercice et de certificats d’autorisation, des frais d’inscription, ainsi que de la publicité et de recettes diverses.Les dépenses ont dépassé les prévisions budgétaires enraison de dépenses imprévues encourues pour :

• améliorer nos capacités de numérisation des dossierset d’archivage numérique;

• renforcer la sécurité de nos systèmes informatiques;• mettre à niveau notre site Web;• embaucher un employé additionnel.

Alors que nous amorçons notre 92e année, le Conseil proposeun budget qui nous permet de continuer à améliorer lesservices à nos membres sans sacrifier notre solidité financière.

JEAN BOUDREAU, P.Eng.

hank you for giving me theopportunity to serve asPresident of APEGNB. I lookforward to the challenge,

with the help of Council, staffand the members, of working toensure the continued success ofour Association.

Although the primary concern isensuring qualified individuals arelicensed to practice in our province,we must adapt to the changes inour professions, society, provinceand the world. Changing timesand technology can work to ouradvantage and sometimes to ourdisadvantage in dealing with theissues of self-regulation.

Internal and external promotionof our Association, and the workof its members, is continuing to expand with the help of technological advancements:

• Upcoming issues of Engenuitywill be taking advantage ofthe latest in enhanced digitalpublishing software.

• Our new updated website isabout to be officially launched.

• APEGNB’s Twitter account isgaining new followers everyweek and is a valuable resourcefor timely communication withour members as well as thewider New Brunswick/national audience.

• Electronic voting and live-streaming of the AGMallows more members to participate in the governanceof our Association.

Mobility has long been an issueidentified by many previousAPEGNB presidents. This is anexample of an issue that changingtimes and advancements canwork for, and against, us. AtlanticCanada has a history of losingyoung trained professionals to

western Canada. With anticipatedshortages of trained professionalsin Alberta, the U.S. and othercountries including Britain andGermany, we will have morecompetition for retaining ourengineers and geoscientists.

We must ensure we are strictlyadhering to our mandate of registering qualified professionalswhile honouring our commitmentsto national and internationalagreements for accepting membersregistered in other jurisdictions.This takes a concentrated effort onthe part of Council and staff tocome to mutually acceptable termswith other provincial and territorialassociations and with EngineersCanada working on behalf of allconstituent associations.

This applies as well to the conceptof limited licensure and thevariety of classifications our sisterassociations may have undertheir Act or Bylaws. With theseagreements in place, we mustensure that only trained andexperienced people are doingthe work that falls under thejurisdiction of our Association.We must be diligent in meetingour mandate and convincing thepublic we are working to ensurethe health and wealth of ourprovince and its people.

There is much work to be doneand a year will not be long enoughto complete all the tasks setbefore us but with the help of thededicated staff and volunteerswho are committed to the workof our Association, I believemuch will be accomplished.

The success of our Association isrelated directly to the input of ourmembers. We, on Council, lookforward to your continued supportand hope that those of you notalready involved at some levelwill consider adding your voiceand expertise to the work andsuccess of your Association.

PRESIDENT-ELECT STATEMENT


T

JEAN BOUDREAU, ing.

erci de me donner l’occasion de siéger àtitre de présidente del’AIGNB. Avec l’appui du

Conseil, du personnel et desmembres, je me sens prête àrelever le défi de travailler pourgarder notre Association sur lechemin de la réussite.

Bien que notre principale préoccupation soit de nousassurer que seules des personnescompétentes obtiennent le permis d’exercer dans notreprovince, nous devons aussi nousadapter aux changements dansnos professions, notre société,notre province et dans le monde.Les changements de notreépoque et la technologie peuventnous être avantageux, mais ilspeuvent aussi nous désavantagerquand il s’agit de faire face auxenjeux de l’autoréglementation.

La promotion de notre Associationet du travail de ses membrescontinue de croître grâce auxavancées technologiques :

• Les prochains numérosd’Engenuity tireront parti deslogiciels dernier cri amélioréspour la publicationnumérique.

• On est sur le point de lancerofficiellement notre nouveausite Web mis à niveau.

• Le compte Twitter de l’AIGNBattire de nouveaux lecteurschaque semaine et constitueune ressource précieuse pourde promptes communicationsavec nos membres, ainsiqu’avec un plus grand auditoirenéo-brunswickois et national.

• Le scrutin électronique et ladiffusion en direct sur Internetde l’AGA permettent à un plusgrand nombre de membres deprendre part à la gouvernancede notre Association.

La mobilité est depuis longtempsun enjeu reconnu par plusieursanciens présidents de l’AIGNB.Voici un exemple d’enjeu où leschangements en cours et lesavancées contemporaines peuvent nous être avantageux oudésavantageux. Le Canada atlantique a une longue histoire deperte de ses jeunes professionnelsformés au profit de l’Ouest canadien. Alors que l’on prévoitdes pénuries de professionnels enAlberta, aux É.-U. et dans d’autrespays dont la Grande-Bretagne etl’Allemagne, nous ferons face àune concurrence plus férocepour ce qui est de retenir nosingénieurs et nos géoscientifiques.

Nous devons nous assurer d’adhérer de manière stricte ànotre mandat de n’inscrire quedes professionnels qualifiés, touten honorant nos engagements à

l’échelle nationale et internationaled’accepter des membres déjàinscrits auprès d’autres instances.Cela exige des efforts bien ciblésde la part du Conseil et du personnel pour en arriver à desmodalités mutuellement acceptables avec les autres associations provinciales et territoriales et avec IngénieursCanada qui œuvre au nom detoutes ses associations membres.

Cela s’applique aussi au conceptde permis d’exercer à portéelimitée et à la diversité des catégories de membres instauréepar nos associations sœurs envertu de leur loi et de leurs règlements. Nous devons nousassurer que, dans le cadre desententes conclues, seules despersonnes formées et expéri-mentées effectuent les travauxqui sont de la compétence denotre Association. Nous devonsfaire preuve de vigilance pourremplir notre mandat et rassurerle public que nous œuvrons envue d’assurer la santé et laprospérité et notre province etde ses habitants.

Il y a beaucoup à faire, et uneannée ne saurait suffire à réalisertoutes les tâches qui nous attendent, mais, avec l’aide d’unpersonnel et de membresdévoués au travail de l’Association,je suis convaincue que degrandes étapes seront franchies.

La réussite de notre Associationdécoule directement de l’apportde ses membres. Nous, les membres du Conseil, comptonssur votre appui soutenu etespérons que ceux d’entre vousqui ne se sont pas encore concrètement engagés songerezà ajouter votre voix et votresavoir-faire aux travaux et auxsuccès de votre Association.

APEGNB FOUNDATION FOR EDUCATION

n 2011, the APEGNBFoundation for Educationcontinued to support scholarships and prizes in

the amount of $35,500.

One of the entrance scholarshipswas sponsored in full by a corporatedonor. In addition, ADI Limitedcontinued support for threememorial entrance scholarships at

the University of New Brunswick(UNB) through the Foundationtotaling $9,000 and two EntranceScholarships to the Université deMoncton (U de M) valued at$3,000. Also, Stantec fundedtwo entrance scholarships atUNB Fredericton totaling $5,000.

The total value of scholarshipsand prizes, including the ADIScholarships of $12,000, and theStantec scholarships of $5,000,was $52,500.

The 2011 scholarships/prizeswere awarded at two scholarshipluncheons – one in Frederictonand one in Moncton in October.Members of the FoundationBoard, Faculty members, andthe award recipients and theirguests were invited to attend ineach location. The Frederictonevent was not well attended bystudents due to a conflict withclasses approaching mid-termbut the Moncton event was wellattended and well received bythe students. The Frederictonconflict will probably be resolvednext year by changing the timeand location of the event toaccommodate student schedules.

At the November FoundationBoard meeting there was amotion carried to change thevalue of both the Masters andDoctorate scholarships to $4000

each for 2012 which brings allthree post-graduate scholarshipsto the same level. This will hopefully stimulate more interestand attract more applicants. Thiswill then bring the total value ofscholarships to $54,500.

APEGNB Foundation for EducationStandard Life Diversified capitalfund showed a gain in capital—raising the value to $577,000 atNovember 30, 2011. TheFoundation bond fund is

fluctuating around the $162,600mark. This year, cash reserves inthe bank account from currentdonations were once again sufficient to fund the scholarshipsand prizes without a withdrawalfrom the capital funds. The bondfund, established with the bequestfrom the Ottis Logue estate, is nowproviding more than sufficientinterest to fund the Ottis I. LoguePost Graduate Scholarship. Mr. Logue also made provisionfor ongoing annual support tothe APEGNB Foundation throughthe Fredericton CommunityFoundation. The continued support of the membership, inparticular the life members, is agreat help in evening out marketfluctuations. The ongoing supportof the membership continues to be key in sustaining the scholarship funding.

FONDATION POUR LES ÉTUDES DE L’AIGNB

n 2011, la Fondation pour lesétudes de l’AIGNB a maintenuson soutien aux bourses d’études et aux prix à

hauteur de 35 500 $.

Une des bourses d’admission a étéentièrement commanditée par unesociété donatrice. De plus, ADI Limiteda maintenu son appui à trois boursesd’admission commémoratives à

l’Université du Nouveau-Brunswick(UNB) par l’entremise de la Fondationpour un total de 9 000 $ et à deuxbourses d’admission à l’Universitéde Moncton (U de M) d’une valeur de3 000 $. D’autre part, Stantec a financédeux bourses d’admission à l’UNB àFredericton pour un total de 5 000 $.

La valeur totale des bourses d’études etdes prix, y compris les bourses d’étudesADI de 12 000 $ et les bourses d’étudesStantec de 5 000 $, est de 52 500 $.

En 2011, les bourses d’études et les prixont été remis dans le cadre de deuxdéjeuners consacrés aux boursesd’études – un à Fredericton et un autreà Moncton en octobre. Les membres duconseil de la Fondation, les membresdu corps professoral et les récipiendaireset leurs invités ont reçu une invitationà chacun des emplacements. ÀFredericton, les étudiants n’étaient pasnombreux au déjeuner à cause d’unconflit d’horaire avec les cours rendusà mi-semestre, mais le déjeuner deMoncton a attiré une bonne assistanceet a bien été reçu par les étudiants.Le conflit observé à Fredericton seravraisemblablement résolu l’anprochain en changeant la date et lelieu de l’activité pour tenir comptede l’horaire des étudiants.

À la réunion du conseil de la Fondationen novembre, on a adopté une résolution pour porter la valeur desbourses d’études à la maîtrise et au

doctorat à 4 000 $ chacune en 2012,ce qui porte la valeur de chacunedes trois bourses d’études supérieuresau même niveau. On espère quececi suscitera davantage d’intérêt etattirera un plus grand nombre decandidats. La valeur totale des boursesd’études atteindra donc 54 500 $.

Le fonds d’investissement diversifiéStandard Life de la Fondation pourles études de l’AIGNB a affiché ungain en capital pour atteindre lavaleur de 577 000 $ le 30 novembre

2011. La valeur du fonds d’obligationsde la Fondation oscille autour de162 600 $. Cette année, les réservesliquides du compte bancaire découlantdes dons courants ont encore une foisété suffisantes pour financer les boursesd’études et les prix sans avoir à faire deprélèvement sur le fonds d’investisse-ment. Le fonds d’obligations établi avecle legs de la succession Ottis Loguedonne maintenant suffisammentd’intérêts pour financer davantageque la bourse d’études supérieuresOttis I. Logue. M. Logue avait aussiprévu un soutien annuel continu à laFondation de l’AIGNB par l’entremisede la Fondation communautaire deFredericton. L’appui soutenu desmembres, en particulier celui desmembres à vie, est d’un grand secourspour niveler les fluctuations dumarché. L’appui soutenu des membresreste essentiel pour soutenir lefinancement des bourses.

My time on Council, both as a Councillor and as vice-president, has been a learning andrewarding experience. I look forward as President to continuing working with Council tomeet our mandate of serving the public while promoting our professions and the contributionsof our members. We must focus on the issues that affect our ability to ensure qualified,trained individuals are licensed to practice in our province. These issues include:

• Mobility of professionals within and outside of Canada;• Establishing new classifications to ensure mobility agreements provide equally qualified

professionals in all situations;• Increasing the admissions of professionals trained outside of Canada to ensure there is

no shortage of qualifed professionals, and• Ensuring continued professional development and life-long learning for all members.

La période que j’ai passée au Conseil, tant comme membre du conseil d’administration quecomme vice-présidente, a constitué une expérience d’apprentissage enrichissante. Si je suis élueà la présidence, j’entends continuer à collaborer avec le Conseil pour remplir notre mandat deservir le public tout en faisant la promotion de nos professions et de l’apport de nos membres.Nous devons mettre l’accent sur les enjeux qui ont une incidence sur notre capacité de nousassurer que les personnes qui ont un permis d’exercer dans notre province sont des personnesqualifiées et bien formées. Parmi ces enjeux, notons :

• la mobilité des professionnels au Canada et à l’extérieur;• l’établissement de nouvelles catégories pour s’assurer que les ententes de mobilité livrent des

professionnels également qualifiés dans toutes les situations;• l’accroissement du nombre de professionnels formés à l’étranger pour garantir qu’il n’y a pas

de pénurie de professionnels qualifiés;• l’assurance d’un perfectionnement professionnel permanent pour tous les membres.

I have had the pleasure of serving on the Saint John Branch and on Provincial Council in thepast and know what is expected and required to fulfill the duties of Council. I have continued tobe involved in an unofficial capacity in Association events over the years and I am lookingforward to the opportunity of representing our Association as vice-president. I am very proudto be a member of APEGNB and have a keen interest in the issues that affect our membersand our Association.

During my 34 years as a member of APEGNB, I have seen the Association continuouslyevolve to meet new challenges and opportunities in relation to its mandate and goals. I havebeen very supportive of this evolution, and am proud to have been involved in planning suchchanges during my service on various APEGNB committees.

The coming years will bring further challenges and opportunities for our province and societyin general, and I am confident that APEGNB and its members can be at the forefront of society’sadaptation to changing circumstances. As APEGNB vice-president, I will work with the executive,Council and staff to ensure that our Association continues to be an effective and relevantbody both provincially and nationally, and to be recognized as such by our peers and the public.

One area where I see the possibility of greater effort to bring positive results relates to inter-nationalization and mobility. While many APEGNB engineers and geoscientists are currentlyengaged internationally, I believe that we can enhance the ability of our members to workon the world stage. As an educator, entrepreneur and university administrator who speaks fourlanguages and has successfully championed internationalization and international partnershipsaround the world, I know how valuable such initiatives are to an organization and its members.One of my goals during my term of office will be to further facilitate the internationalizationof our membership by working with provincial and federal governments, Engineers Canadaand our sister associations in Canada and abroad to expose and remove impediments tointernational mobility.

Au cours des 34 ans où j’ai été membre de l’AIGNB, j’ai vu l’Association évoluer sans cesse pourrelever de nouveaux défis et profiter de nouvelles occasions dans le cadre de son mandat et de sesobjectifs. J’ai soutenu cette évolution avec enthousiasme et je suis fier d’avoir pris part à la planification de certains de ces changements, alors que je siégeais à différents comités de l’AIGNB.

Les prochaines années amèneront aussi leurs lots de défis et de possibilités à notre province et àla société en général, et j’ai confiance que l’AIGNB et ses membres sauront rester à l’avant-gardede l’adaptation à ces nouvelles situations. À titre de vice-président de l’AIGNB, je collaborerai avecle comité exécutif, le Conseil et le personnel pour assurer que notre Association reste une instanceefficace et pertinente, tant à l’échelle provinciale que nationale, et qu’elle soit reconnue à ce titrepar nos collègues et le grand public.

Un des domaines où j’estime que l’on pourrait faire de plus grands efforts pour obtenir des résultatspositifs, c’est la question de la mondialisation et de la mobilité. Bien qu’il y ait un grand nombred’ingénieurs et de géoscientifiques de l’AIGNB qui œuvrent déjà à l’échelle internationale, je croisque nous pouvons renforcer la capacité de nos membres à travailler sur la scène mondiale. Entant qu’éducateur, entrepreneur et administrateur universitaire qui parle quatre langues, qui aréussi à défendre la mondialisation et à préconiser des partenariats internationaux dans lemonde entier, je sais à quel point de telles démarches peuvent être précieuses pour un organismeet pour ses membres. Un de mes objectifs si je suis élu, ce sera de faciliter encore plus l’interna-tionalisation de nos membres en collaborant avec les gouvernements provinciaux et le gouvernementfédéral, avec Ingénieurs Canada et avec nos associations sœurs au Canada et à l’étranger pourdéceler et éliminer les obstacles à la mobilité internationale.

Over the past five years, I have been actively involved with the Fredericton Branch council. Ihave organized many of our social and technical events, and have had the opportunity to create new events for our Fredericton-area members.

I would like to continue to represent the interests of our Fredericton Branch members—butat a provincial level. Leading by example to encourage membership involvement is veryimportant to me, and I will continue efforts to keep our members interested and keen onwhat the Association has to offer them and their families. As a provincial Councillor, I will beable to broaden my insights; ensure that any issues directly impacting our Fredericton members are heard at provincial level; and effectively communicate provincial issues to ourBranch Council.

Au cours des cinq dernières années, j’ai été très active au sein du conseil de la section deFredericton. J’ai organisé plusieurs de nos activités techniques et sociales et j’ai eu l’occasion decréer de nouvelles activités pour nos membres de la région de Fredericton

Je souhaite continuer à défendre les intérêts des membres de notre section de Fredericton, maisau niveau provincial. Pour moi, il est très important de prêcher par l’exemple pour inciter lesmembres à s’engager. Je continuerai d’œuvrer pour soutenir l’intérêt de nos membres et les garderà l’affût de ce que l’Association offre à ses membres et à leurs familles. En tant que conseillèreprovinciale, je serai en mesure d’élargir mes perspectives. Je veillerai à ce que les questions quiont une incidence directe sur nos membres de Fredericton sont portées au niveau provincial et jerendrai compte au conseil de la section des enjeux provinciaux.

Since 2002, I have held various positions within the Fredericton Branch and served on APEGNBcommittees. For the past four years, I represented the Fredericton District on provincialCouncil. A key result of APEGNB Council' vision has been the passage into law of NewBrunswick's Bill 28 "Limitations of Actions" Act in 2009. Other notable achievements includetransitioning the office's paper membership files into digital format as well as electronic votingfor Council elections. The Association office was also expanded in 2011.

Going forward, our Continued Competency Program needs improvement. Effective communicationand the promotion of our professions must also remain a priority for Council. As yourCouncillor for Fredericton, I will continue to put forth my best effort to help APEGNB meet itsobligations to its membership while protecting the safety of the general public.

Depuis 2002, j’ai occupé divers postes au sein de la section de Fredericton et siégé à des comités del’AIGNB. Depuis quatre ans, je représente la section de Fredericton au Conseil provincial. Un des résultatsclés de la vision du Conseil de l’AIGNB a été l’adoption en 2009 du projet de loi 28 en tant que nouvelleLoi sur la prescription du Nouveau-Brunswick. Parmi les autres réalisations remarquables, notons lepassage du format papier au format numérique pour les dossiers des membres, ainsi que le scrutin élec-tronique pour élire les membres du Conseil. Les bureaux de l'Association ont aussi été agrandis en 2011.

À l'avenir, notre programme d'assurance de la compétence continue devra être amélioré. L’efficacitédes communications et la promotion de nos professions doivent également rester prioritaires pour leConseil. En tant que conseiller de Fredericton, je continuerai de faire de mon mieux pour aider l’AIGNBà s’acquitter de ses obligations face à ses membres tout en protégeant la sécurité du grand public.

It is no secret that New Brunswick, and the Northeast in particular, has been hard hit economically due to its traditional reliance on the resource sector.

One of the major side effects of this has been a steady stream of young, highly educated andskilled, professionals choosing to leave the province because they do not see much of a futurefor themselves or their families.

As a young engineer who just very recently went through a soul-searching exercise on thesubject, I believe that much more can, and must, be done at the provincial level to trulyengage and involve our young engineers.

We must develop an Association-level strategy for actively engaging, developing, and retainingour young talent before they are gone.

It would be a great honour to be able to represent Northeastern New Brunswick. It is veryimportant to give back to your profession and community, and I think serving on APEGNB’sprovincial Council will allow me the opportunity to do both.

Comme tout le monde le sait, le Nouveau-Brunswick, et surtout le Nord-Est, a été durement touchésur le plan économique en raison de sa dépendance traditionnelle sur le secteur des ressources.

Une des plus importantes répercussions secondaires a été le déferlement continu de jeunes professionnels très éduqués et compétents qui choisissent de quitter la province, car ils ne peuvent plus y envisager un avenir très reluisant pour eux-mêmes et leur famille.

En tant que jeune ingénieur venant tout juste de faire une introspection approfondie à ce sujet,j’estime que l’on peut et qu’il faut faire beaucoup plus au niveau provincial pour véritablementmobiliser les jeunes ingénieurs et les amener à s’engager.

Nous devons élaborer une stratégie au niveau de l’Association pour mobiliser, développer etretenir notre jeune talent avant qu’il ne nous quitte.

Ce serait un grand honneur de représenter le Nord-Est du Nouveau-Brunswick. Il est très importantde redonner à sa profession et à sa collectivité, et je pense que siéger au Conseil provincial del’AIGNB me permettra de faire les deux.

Over the past four years, I have had the opportunity to serve on the Moncton Branch's executiveand to meet several of our members at our events. The experience acquired during this periodhas been extremely rewarding and it would be a great privilege for me to be able to continueworking at the provincial level to represent my fellow engineers and geoscientists.

With the protection of public safety and the environment, I believe the promotion of ourAssociation and of our engineering and geoscientific professions should be one of the prioritiesof Council. We must also encourage our members, especially the younger engineers and geoscientists, to get more involved so as to ensure the future of our Association.

Au cours des quatre dernières années, j’ai eu la chance de siéger au conseil d’administration dela section de Moncton et de rencontrer plusieurs membres dans le cadre de nos activités.L’expérience acquise au cours de cette période a été très enrichissante, et ce serait un grand privilège pour moi de pouvoir continuer à œuvrer au niveau provincial pour représenter mes collègues ingénieurs et géoscientifiques.

En plus de la protection du public et de l’environnement, je crois que la promotion de notreAssociation, ainsi que des professions d’ingénieur et de géoscientifique doit être prioritaire pourle Conseil. Nous devons également inciter nos membres, en particulier les jeunes ingénieurs etgéoscientifiques, à s’engager davantage, afin d’assurer la relève au sein de l’Association.

Having been employed with a multinational company for the past 28 years, I have had theprivilege of working in various provinces of Canada. This allowed me to be a member of theirdifferent engineering associations.

What I have noticed is that the challenges are similar across Canada. However, in Quebec,the engineering profession is facing problems stemming from the negative publicity surroundingthe construction industry in general. Our professional image is very important and we mustcontinue to work at preserving and improving it in the eyes of the public.

As such I feel that continuing education is essential to both engineering and geoscience andneeds to be strongly encouraged for all of our members.

If you elect me, I will work for you to support your right to quality continuing education, toprotect our professional image and to advance all other issues brought to my attention thatare in the best interest of our professions.

Ayant été à l’emploi d’une entreprise multinationale depuis 28 ans, j’ai eu le privilège de travailler dansdifférentes provinces canadiennes, ce qui m’a permis d’adhérer à différentes associations d’ingénieurs.

J’ai ainsi pu constater que les défis se ressemblent partout au Canada. Au Québec, cependant, laprofession d’ingénieur fait face à des problèmes découlant de la publicité négative entourant l’industrie de la construction en général. Notre image professionnelle est très importante, et nousdevons continuer de travailler pour la préserver et l’améliorer auprès du public.

C’est pourquoi j’ai l’impression que la formation permanente est essentielle, tant pour le génieque pour les sciences de la Terre, et on doit inciter fortement nos membres à s’en prévaloir.

Si je suis élu, je travaillerai en votre nom pour soutenir votre droit à une formation permanentede qualité, pour protéger notre image professionnelle et pour faire avancer toute autre questionportée à mon attention qui est dans le meilleur intérêt de nos professions.

The engineering and geoscience professions continue to face pressures from the changingprovincial, national and global economy. Given these changes, APEGNB must continue to bea strong regulator and advocate for the professions.

My focus as a Councillor will be to continue to encourage the Association to work with industryand the professions to meet those changes. As well, the legislative and regulatory frameworkin New Brunswick is changing to increase the responsibility and liability on engineers. APEGNBhas a role in shaping those policies. As an engineer and a lawyer, I will provide a unique perspective as a member of APEGNB Council.

Les professions d’ingénieur et de géoscientifique continuent de subir les pressions des changementséconomiques dans la province, au pays et dans le monde. Compte tenu de ces pressions, l’AIGNBdoit rester un régulateur ferme et un ardent défenseur de nos professions.

En tant que conseiller, je continuerai d’inciter l’Association à collaborer avec l’industrie et avec lesprofessions pour faire face à ces chambardements. Parallèlement, le cadre législatif et réglementairedu Nouveau-Brunswick est en mutation pour accroître les devoirs et la responsabilité civile desingénieurs.

Being both a professional geoscientist and a professional engineer has had a huge impact onmy career in the mining and petroleum industries. It has allowed me to evaluate issues fromtwo perspectives, thus basing decisions on more complete information.

Communication and education is key to raising the profile of geoscientists, whether it bethrough APEGNB, the local branches or other professional affiliations. With the recent eventsconcerning mining camps in the Miramichi, Stanley, Mt. Pleasant and other areas as well asthe controversial uranium prospecting issues and the uncertain future of shale gas development,geoscientists play an important role in understanding and educating people on the environmental,safety and economic impacts of these prospects.

These and other potential operations can, and will have, an impact on employing locallytrained professionals—thus increasing membership in APEGNB. It will also allow the publicto make more informed decisions. I would be honoured to participate in the role ofGeoscientist at Large to promote this mandate within New Brunswick.

Être à la fois ingénieure et géoscientifique a eu une grande incidence sur mon cheminement professionnel dans le secteur des mines et du pétrole. Cela m’a permis de jauger les enjeux dedeux points de vue, ce qui donne des décisions fondées sur une information plus complète.

La communication et l’éducation sont clés pour rehausser le prestige des géoscientifiques, que cesoit par l’entremise de l’AIGNB, des sections locales ou d’autres affiliations professionnelles.Compte tenu des récents incidents touchant des camps miniers, notamment dans les régions deMiramichi, de Stanley et de Mount Pleasant, ainsi que des enjeux controversés liés à la prospectiond’uranium et l’avenir incertain du développement du gaz de schiste, les géoscientifiques jouent unrôle important pour comprendre les répercussions sur l’environnement, sur la sécurité et sur l’économie de ces perspectives et pour éduquer les gens à leur sujet.

Ces activités et certaines autres pourraient avoir – et auront – une incidence sur l’emploi de professionnels formés dans la région, augmentant ainsi le nombre d’adhérents à l’AIGNB. Celapermettra aussi au public de prendre des décisions mieux éclairées. Je serais honorée de jouer lerôle de représentante de l’ensemble des géoscientifiques, afin de promouvoir ce mandat dans laprovince du Nouveau-Brunswick.

During the past two years on Council, I have enjoyed bringing a geoscience perspective todiscussions and working to build the profile of our profession through initiatives such asbringing the Earth Ring to New Brunswick.

It is an exciting time to be a geoscientist in New Brunswick as the knowledge and expertise of ourprofession is in increasing demand for projects varying from mining to environmental protection.Now, more than ever, there is a need to bring improvements to continued competency for activeprofessionals and to the mentoring of those just entering the work force. I look forward to continuingto work with the Association on these and other issues in the future and would be honoured torepresent the interests of geoscientists on Council if re-elected to the position of geoscientist-at-large.

C’est une belle époque pour être géoscientifique au Nouveau-Brunswick, car les connaissances et lesavoir-faire de notre profession sont de plus en plus en demande pour des projets allant de l’exploitationminière à la protection de l’environnement. Maintenant, plus que jamais, il faut apporter des améliorationsau maintien des compétences pour les professionnels qui exercent et au mentorat destiné à ceux quiarrivent sur le marché du travail.

Northeastern Branch

here were flying pumpkins,vanishing golf balls, MITsbeing slingshotted across theice, top net scoring and plenty

of memorable moments. Lookingback at 2011, it was the bestyear for the Northeastern Branchin terms of event attendance,community involvement andsporting achievement.

On April 8 and 9, a hockey teamfrom our Branch took top honoursfor the second year in a row atthe annual Atlantic EngineersHockey Tournament held inHalifax. Have we bragged enough?Maybe not. One more time, let’sall sing “We are the Champions”!

Later in April, some membersjoined the judging panel for the NewBrunswick regional Science Fairto encourage young engineering/geoscience minds.

Our Branch AGM was held onMay 4, at Danny’s Inn, wheremembers received a great presentation from GDF Suez onthe “Caribou Wind Farm”.

In July, the Branch sponsored aGreen Science Fair for kidsbetween the ages of 10 and 13.They learned to build and designwith green energy.

The annual golf tournamentand supper was held September9 at the Gowan Brae Golf andCountry Club in Bathurst. Theevent was one of the top membership draws of the year

Les 8 et 9 avril, une équipe dehockey de notre section a remportéles honneurs pour la deuxièmeannée consécutive au tournoiannuel de hockey des ingénieursde l’Atlantique qui s’est déroulé àHalifax. Nous sommes-nous assezpété les bretelles? Peut-être pas.Encore une fois, tous en chœur : « Nous sommes les champions »!

with approximately 54 membersand guests in attendance. Plentyof golf balls saw their career endthat day—having landed in thedeepest corner of the woodedarea or in the bay.

The next major event was the 8th

Annual APEGNB Pumpkin Flingheld in Miramichi on the 24th ofSeptember. More than 1000 peopleattended this year. Together, withthe Historic Chatham BusinessDistrict community, this activityraised $2000 for the District 16Kids' Breakfast Program.

We closed the year with theannual “MIT night at the Titans”on December 6. This was anevent which drew more greatattendance figures. Forty-threeAPEGNB members and Titansfans saw two MITs being safely‘slingshotted’ into some on-icebowling pins—an activity organized by the Branch. Ofcourse, the Titans won that dayand nobody was hurt.

More information will be distributed to members in thenear future on upcoming Branchevents. If anyone has ideasabout activities they’d like to seehosted by the Branch, please let us know.

Canadians from coast to coast tocoast must be made aware ofthe importance of engineers andengineering. We help36,000,000 people every day.

Engineers Canada and the Canadianengineering profession havemade important advancementson numerous issues.

SYNERGYAs a member of the SynergyTask Force from cradle to grave, Ihave reported on the purposeand work of the Task Force inprevious Annual Magazines aswell as Engenuity. The SynergyTask Force's goal was to lookback at the past 70 years to helpus chart a new course of opportunities for EngineersCanada and its members so thatwe can continue to be leaders inCanadian society.

Both the Board and the EngineersCanada members (constituentAssociations) accepted the finalrecommendations of the SynergyTask Force on Phase III – financialsustainability. These recommen-dations set the stage for a moretransparent financial planningcycle that is consistent with theguiding principles of the newgovernance model approved lastyear. With its work behind them,the Board stood down theSynergy Task Force, with thanks.

NATIONAL FRAMEWORKFOR LICENSUREThe work on the NationalFramework for Licensure is wellunderway. The CEO Group initiative identifies the need todevelop a process to:

• Facilitate national harmoniza-tion—ensure full mobility

• Make enforcementeasier/more effective

COMMITTEE REPORTS

• Provide leadership in labourforce development

• Register all engineers withinthe profession.

The Engineers Canada Boardfully supports the initiative. Theguiding principles of theFramework include:

• Individuals engaged in engineering activities aremembers of the profession andparticipate in its governance;

• All engineering practitionersfully utilize their training,experience and expertise;

• All members practicing engi-neering are licensed accordingto their competencies and areheld publicly accountable fortheir work and conduct;

• Engineering activities, servicesand products are effectivelyregulated;

• All members and licenceholders enjoy full mobilityacross Canada.

Furthermore, the Framework will:

• Uphold and protect the public interest in the practiceof engineering.

• Maintain professional andtechnical standards.

Implementation of the Frameworkwill be at the engineering regulators’convenience, considering jurisdiction-specific needs andchallenges. One of the first elements that the Frameworkexamined was continuing professional development. Thepurpose of this element is toprovide the public with the confidence that licence holdersmaintain knowledge of develop-ments in the areas relevant to theengineering services provided toemployers and/or clients. Theelement will also provide awareness that under the codeof ethics, licence holders shallact with competence in the performance of those professional


6. Continuation of the efforts to unify the profession by building on the strengths ofthe Canadian EngineeringLeadership Forum and other organizations.

Ontario, Québec and NovaScotia are the only provincesthat have separate geosciencelicensing associations. TheAssociation of ProfessionalEngineers of the Yukon ispresently forming a review committee to propose changesto the Engineers Act that wouldinclude geoscientists. Thesechanges are expected to bereceived favourably by the government and would representthe eighth joint association, leaving PEI as the only provincewithout provincial registration ofgeoscientists. As of November2010, there were approximately11,000 geoscientist registrantsacross 10 associations.

Geoscientists Canada operatesfrom shared space with APEGBCat their head office in Burnaby,BC. Oliver Bonham, P.Geo.,serves as the full-time generalmanager for the association.
