4 Seasons of Reconciliation — Indigenous Awareness Course
PGO
September 30, 2022 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day. There are many ways in which we can recognize and honour this day and one of them is taking some time to learn about the history and legacy of residential schools and their intergenerational impacts on indigenous persons and their communities. PGO partnered with Reconciliation Education and First Nations University of Canada to be able to provide the 4 Seasons of Reconciliation — Indigenous Awareness online course at a discounted rate of $50. Completion of this course counts as a continuing professional development activity.

DNR restarts process to set groundwater regulations for toxic 'forever chemicals' in Wisconsin
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
The state Department of Natural Resources is hoping to restart the process of establishing rules for "forever chemicals" in groundwater, the source of drinking water for nearly 1 million Wisconsinites. Having a guideline for acceptable amounts of PFAS in Wisconsin's groundwater will hopefully help the state move forward with its regulation of the toxic chemicals, which have been found in many locations, both in public water supplies and in personal wells.

Promoted by Canada1Water
 Fully integrated surface/groundwater models for ALL of continental Canada (>11 million sqkm!) are being constructed using HydroGeoSphere in a new initiative funded by NRCan. These models will integrate the latest climate projections to give all Canadians a window into the future of climate change impacts on our collective water resources. As a federally funded project, all results and national scale datasets will be available for stakeholders across Canada. C1W represents a truly 21st century advancement in integrated climate-surface-groundwater modelling capabilities to assess water resource vulnerabilities. Visit www.Canada1Water.ca to learn more!

The Drift: Creativity needed to draw new talent to mining: experts
Northern Ontario Business
It's dirty and it's dangerous.
That's the top perceived reason youth today don't want a career in mining, according to Jason Bubba, chief operating officer at the NORCAT innovation centre in Sudbury.
Yet, attracting youth to the industry will be essential to replacing workers who are leaving the sector in droves and creating a massive skills gap that's predicted to get worse.
