As mentioned in the earlier GeoEdmonton 2018 wrap up news item, the CGS Heritage Committee commissioned a slide presentation at Wednesday’s luncheon that featured the contributions of some of the first women practitioners of geotechnique in Canada. The list included:
Susan Aitken, P.Eng. Angela Küpper, P.Eng.
Gail Atkinson, P.Eng. Suzanne Lacasse, ing.
Anna Burwash, P.Eng. Gretchen Minning, P.Geo.
Heather Cross, P.Geo. Catherine Mulligan, P.Eng.
Glynnis Horel, P.Eng. Anne Poschmann, P.Eng.
D. Jean Hutchinson, P.Eng. Danielle Zaikoff, ing.
Posters highlighting these women and their contributions will be available soon on the CGS Instagram. We would like to thank the members of the CGS Heritage Committee Task Force who led the initiative: Doug VanDine, Heinrich Heinz and Andrea Lougheed, assisted by Mélissa Ruel, Amy Rentz and Sarah Verwey.
