EngGeoMB's Building Regional Adaptation Capacity and Expertise (BRACE) and Manitoba Climate Resilience Training (MCRT) Project Team has worked with the other sectors to create a suite of training courses that enhance climate knowledge and help integrate climate risk and opportunities into decision-making and planning within the infrastructure sector in Manitoba. The entire MCRT course suite is made up of 18 courses and open to anyone interested in participating, however there is a recommended "Foundational and Infrastructure Path" of courses specifically recommended for infrastructure professionals, as indicated in the course schedule. Members and practitioners are invited to explore the courses offered through the MCRT Project and register online for the foundational courses.

Registration is still open for our new Mentorship Program! The program is designed to support the skill development, community growth, and professional and personal goal achievement of Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba members from intern to advanced level professionals. This yearly program runs from January to December and includes quarterly mentoring events. To learn more and apply for the program, please review the Mentorship Program webpage.

The Registration Committee (RC) is a committee of Council made up of registered professional members from both engineering and geoscience disciplines. The committee is responsible for conducting the final review for members and interns who are moving forward towards final registration. RC is currently seeking new professional members to join the committee, and while all members are welcome to apply, the committee is most in need of professional members with expertise in the following areas: mining, mechanical/HVAC, geological engineering, or geoscientists. See the call for volunteers for full details.

This course is the first BRACE/MCRT course on the nine-course Foundational and Infrastructure path specifically recommended for infrastructure professionals. The course builds off of the expertise and experience of the Prairie Climate Centres's dedicated team of climatologists and environmental scientists to grow the confidence of professionals in being able to speak about our changing climate. Check out the event listing for more information and to register online.

This interactive webinar course, hosted by RGI International, will help participants gain confidence in organizing, writing, and editing proposals for Request for Proposals/quotes.
