We have tried in the past to list here an advance program of talks and site visits, including dates, venues, speakers' biographies and topic outlines. In an ideal world we would like to be able to line up speakers up to a year in advance. It has recently become evident that modern time pressures and the accelerating pace of change requires us to be more flexible. Here then is an outline of what you can expect the Group to provide in terms of promotion of our technical meetings program.

Technical Meetings will generally be held monthly, February through June and September through November of each year.

Meetings will consist of either a talk or a Site Visit.

Talks will take place at two venues, alternating between the North Shore and South Vancouver. It is recognised that no central location is convenient for all of our members to attend meetings, so this approach spreads the inconvenience around.

Site visits will usually be arranged for lower mainland locations, although occasionally we may raise one to Field Trip status and actually leave town!

Since we are a multidisciplinary group, topics will not necessarily reflect a deeply technical content but may include the achievements of our membership in local and offshore projects, innovative applications of engineering technology, engineering management, legal and financial advice to engineers, and other professional activities involving engineering principles.

Firm details of upcoming meetings are unlikely to be finalised more than one month in advance of the meeting date.

Firm details will be posted in the "STOP PRESS" section of the home page of this website, as soon as they are known.

Flyers will continue to be mailed to all members who have requested them, about 10 days-2 weeks before the meeting.

Members are welcome to bring guests or colleagues from work, subject only to maximum numbers imposed on us by our hosts at site visits.
