Council and senior staff are acting quickly to coordinate and make a presentation to our Minister and ministry staff regarding the necessary Act changes that must be enacted by Victoria so we can proceed with this important initiative. This program has been in place in Quebec for a number of years and has been proven to provide affordable peace of mind to cover professionals liability concerns that, up until now, have fallen through the cracks. Many of you received a number of e-mails regarding the initial launch of the web survey and the technical glitches that occurred in the first few hours but were later successfully resolved. The survey has now been removed from the site and the results are currently being tabulated and analyzed. The program, which featured an afternoon of career talks, provided students with an inside look at the life of an engineer.
Great appreciation is extended to the many speakers who donated their time and enthusiasm.
Watch this space for details on future engineering and geoscience events to be held at UBC, SFU and UVic in the coming months. Many thanks to all for taking part, and particularly to those who sent helpful comments to us to consider for future electronic surveys. While we weren t able to respond personally to all comments due to the overwhelming flood of e-mails, they were all read and will help to ensure that future efforts better meet your needs.
