SUMMARY:Indigenous Inclusion: The Responsibilities of Engineers
DESCRIPTION:Join ACEC-BC’s Young Professionals Group on March 29th to learn about Indigenous Inclusion & the Responsibilities of Engineers\n\n\nWorking with Indigenous communities is becoming more common across all engineering disciplines and related industry. This discussion will cover the basics of working with Indigenous Peoples and their communities. Examples will be used to show the rapidly changing environment of Indigenous inclusion.  \nThis new era of reconciliation requires new generations of engineers to be allies and provide support to projects that enable inclusion\, not stifle it. \nGuest Speaker: Kear Porttris\, Director of Indigenous Relations\, QM Environmental  \nPD Hours: 1 hour \nCost: ACEC-BC member: $10 | Non member: $25 \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker\nKear Porttris is the Director of Indigenous Relations for QM Environmental\, a leading environmental and industrial services company. Previous to joining QM\, Kear has worked in consulting\, the public sector\, and academia. Kear is Métis/Chinese\, born and raised in the Canadian Prairies. His family was very involved with both of these communities and these connections remain important to him today. He is passionate about seeing Indigenous Peoples’ inclusion in all industries\, at all levels; he sees himself as much as an advocate as professional and supports multiple initiatives across the region and Canada.
