SUMMARY:Mine Closure Conference 2015
DESCRIPTION:Mine Closure has become an internationally recognized conference series since it was established in 2006. The 10th International Conference on Mine Closure will offer a multidisciplinary global forum for exchanging views and developing capacity\, to ensure that new mines are designed with closure in mind\, and old sites are closed economically\, while minimizing environmental and societal impacts. \nThis is the second time Mine Closure returns to Canada\, after a very successful conference in 2011 at Lake Louise that attracted almost 600 delegates. Following on that success\, the conference organizers have again partnered with the British Columbia Technical and Research Committee on Reclamation (BC TRCR). Mine Closure 2015 will be held in conjunction with TRCR’s 39th Annual BC Mine Reclamation Symposium. The joint event will offer delegates a stellar technical program featuring the latest scientific developments\, as well as insightful discussions on the most pressing issues. \nEarly bird registration deadline: April 27\, 2015 \nMore Information

SUMMARY:The Potential LNG Industry and BC’s Natural Gas Supply (Webinar Option)
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: David HughesDavid Hughes\, Geoscientist\, Independent Energy Policy Analyst & Formerly with Geological Survey of Canada \nPoliticians in the US and Canada have promoted LNG exports as a way to monetize the perceived gas bounty made possible by the so-called “shale revolution”. However\, a review of major US shale gas plays suggests production is not sustainable at low prices and high volumes in the medium- and long-term. Several US shale plays are already past peak production and the recent collapse in oil prices suggests that other plays will not be far behind. In Canada\, gas production is down 20% from its all-time peak in 2002. Ramping up BC production to supply five LNG terminals would require spectacular growth\, from 409% to 633%\, and the drilling of between 38\,000 and 49\,000 new wells at a cost of up to $432 billion. These projects are vulnerable both from a lowered price in export destinations and from higher domestic gas prices. If the nascent BC LNG industry gets off the ground its economic impact is likely to be far less than purported\, its environmental impact significant\, and its impact on future Canadian energy security worrisome. \nDavid Hughes is a geoscientist who has studied the energy resources of Canada and the U.S.\, including 32 years spent with the Geological Survey of Canada as a scientist and research manager\, where he headed unconventional gas and coal research. His research focus is on unconventional fuels\, primarily shale gas and tight oil\, but also coalbed methane and other unconventional sources including oil sands\, coal gasification and gas hydrates. Hughes is currently President of Global Sustainability Research Inc.\, a consultancy dedicated to research on energy and sustainability issues. Clients include a range of energy companies\, investment firms and non-profits. \nTo participate remotely: http://www.unbc.ca/nres/nresi_webcast.html \nReception to follow

SUMMARY:World Wetlands Day
DESCRIPTION:What is World Wetlands Day? \n2 February each year is World Wetlands Day. This day marks the date of the adoption of the Convention on Wetlands on 2 February 1971\, in the Iranian city of Ramsar on the shores of the Caspian Sea. \nEach year since 1997\, the Ramsar Secretariat has provided materials so that government agencies\, non-governmental organizations\, conservation organizations\, and groups of citizens can help raise public awareness about the importance and value of wetlands. \n  \nWorld Wetlands Day 2015: Wetlands for Our Future – Join us! \nA Wetlands Youth Photo Contest will ask entrants aged 15-24 to snap and upload a picture taken in a wetlands location between 2 February and 2 March. The photographic challenge is to highlight one of the many ways wetlands ensure our future. \nA full range of World Wetlands Day support materials for organizers and teachers will be available for download on the Ramsar website. We can use your help in spreading the word! \nMore Information

SUMMARY:Webinar — Ask an expert: Tools and resources for adapting to a changing climate
DESCRIPTION:From extreme weather events to invasive species\, like the Emerald Ash Borer\, Canadian municipalities face significant impacts from a changing climate. Communities need to consider long-term climate changes in municipal plans and infrastructure investments\, but some municipalities are only beginning this process\, according to research from the National Municipal Adaptation Project. To close this gap\, federal\, provincial and municipal groups have collaborated to build an Adaptation Library that connects communities with the resources they need. \nThis webinar highlights research findings and available resources\, and offers a question-and-answer-style discussion with leading experts who are developing tools to help Canadian communities prepare for a changing climate. Bring your questions\, learn about new tools and build connections to support initiatives in your community. \nPresented by the Partners for Climate Change\, Federation of Canadian Municipalities. \nFor more information or to register\, visit the event website.
