[President]

Welcome to Ingenium 2021

Ingenium is an opportunity for us to collaborate as fellow professionals to better both ourselves and our professions by coming together to share ideas, learn, and network. Like last year, we are in a virtual format. This provides some added flexibility in attending the sessions. With the increase in content this year, it enhances your opportunities for interaction and enhanced access to the Professional Development Seminars, via your registration fee.

This year's keynote sessions focus on the circular interconnectedness of our relationships, communities, and natural systems. These are topical themes of late and are also very important to the future of our practice. The Tuesday morning keynote, Wahkohtowin: The Interconnectedness of Design and Engineering by Mihskakwan James Harper, EIT, speaks to these important themes from the sacred Indigenous origins of these perspectives. The Wednesday keynote, Hey Siri, Make Me Happier, by Dr. Gillian Mandich, will explore the themes around our own mindsets, especially during these challenging times. Our third keynote on Thursday, by Kirsten Marcia, P.Geo., Inspiring Clean Energy Diversification, Having the Courage to Pivot and Make a Difference will speak to the outlooks of our future in energy. Other sessions speak to important strategic initiatives of the Association, on topics such as climate change and climate resiliency, risk management, and equity and representation. Additional sessions are tied to important professional development topics such as employee engagement, skills in negotiations, Indigenous ethics perspectives, along with various other development opportunities. I encourage you all to attend as many sessions as you are able. With the virtual format there are many opportunities.

On behalf of Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba, I would like to thank you for taking the time to better both yourself and our professions by attending. Continue to build your skills with an eye toward the future, but let us also continue to recognize, respect, and honour the past. I wish you all the best in your pursuits.

Jason Mann, P.Geo., FGC
Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba President (2020-2021)

A Message from the Premier

I am pleased to bring greetings to the annual Ingenium Conference hosted by Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba. In a dynamic field such as yours, where the necessity for ongoing education and training is essential, these seminars are an opportunity to advance one's personal and professional development.

As we recover from the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, we trust your professional members will continue to work with project stakeholders to adhere to provincial health guidelines and recommendations while contributing to our prosperity, safety and quality of life.

I congratulate not only the attendees but also the keynote speakers, presenters and industry experts for sharing their time, knowledge, and best practices with you.

On behalf of all Manitobans, I thank Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba for planning the annual Ingenium Conference, and wish all participants an enjoyable and successful event.

The Honourable Kelvin Goertzen
Premier of Manitoba


Greetings from the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs

Greetings. On behalf of all First Nations in Manitoba, and the 7 Treaty One First Nations on whose lands we gather today, I want to welcome all delegates to Treaty 1 territory and wish you all a very successful and productive Ingenium Conference. I am honored to offer these words of welcome for your annual conference. Thank you to Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba for the invitation.

I want to thank the Association for reaching out to the AMC to work together to promote engineering and the geosciences as a career option for First Nations youth. There is always a need for more First Nations engineers and geoscientists as First Nations pursue major infrastructure and resource development projects that reflect our values, consider clean energy diversification, and that benefit society as a whole. This is why the AMC is more than pleased to work with you to help increase this diversity, awareness and First Nations' enrollment in geosciences and engineering faculties in partnership with our post-secondary partners.

As you know First Nations have several pressing concerns and priorities for not only broadband but for:

But it all begins with a trained workforce that reflects our communities and who have the most up to date skills and knowledge for addressing and incorporating clean energy diversification in all our infrastructure and economic development initiatives.

I encourage all First Nations students and youth to pursue STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) pre-requirements and consider the geosciences and the engineering fields as career options. Have an excellent conference and I look forward to working with the Association further. Ekosi.

Arlen Dumas
Grand Chief of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs
