Happy Pride Month! As one of Canada’s top employers for diversity, we strive to create a safe, inclusive workplace by supporting the 2SLGBT+ community. Our employees showed their support and allyship by walking in the Pride Parade in Winnipeg this Sunday.

Thanks to everyone who attended and made Wednesday’s #30by30 Conference a success! Through the day’s presentations, workshops, panel discussions, and networking we witnessed the #engineering community’s commitment to turning knowledge into action to bring about greater #genderequity in engineering. Representatives from engineering regulators, educators, and employers reflected back on the first decade of 30 by 30, and shared strategies and ideas to bring about further progress as we move closer to 2030. We look forward to building on the success of this week’s event and to continued collaboration to make the engineering profession more welcoming for all. Thank you to our co-hosts for this year’s conference, Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba for their collaboration, to all of our presenters for their insights and perspectives, and to our sponsors for their important contributions and support: Presenting Sponsor Canada Life, Champion Sponsor TD Insurance, Trailblazer Sponsors Association of Consulting Engineering Companies - Canada (ACEC-Canada), KGS Group, Manulife, Suncor, and Industry Partners AME Group, Dillon Consulting Limited, Manitoba Hydro, Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary, Stantec, and WSP in Canada. #engineers #EDI #equity #diversity #inclusion #womeninengineering #events #conference

Why do we still use wood poles? There are pros and cons to different pole materials. Steel poles, for example, may be strong, long-lasting, and resistant to small fires, they can actually fail in very hot fires and are very conductive — so there’s a higher chance of lightning or electrical discharge due to a fault. Wood poles can burn and can be susceptible to damage from rot and wildlife, but they’re cost-effective, easy to climb and fix, and easily transported — especially in remote areas where equipment may need to be flown in by helicopter.

If your Indigenous community, Indigenous government, regional Indigenous governance organization, or tribal council is involved in environmental projects connected to waters and shorelines affected by hydroelectric development, applications for the Indigenous Monitoring & Stewardship Fund are now open.
