The Heritage Committee will soon launch two initiatives and we are calling on you to solicit your networks of contacts!
The first project aims to highlight the contribution of renowned geotechnical engineers (practitioners or academics) to major projects or events in the Province of Quebec, with a key aspect in geotechnical engineering. If you have any information on some geotechnical projects, whether it is a dam design, structure foundations, sensitive clay landslides or rock slides, send your suggestions and the names of the recognized experts or designers who contributed to those projects to info@cgs.ca.
The second project aims to highlight the contribution of women in geotechnical engineering in the Canadian Francophonie. Following the Women in Geotechnique event during GeoVirtual 2020, we are looking for experienced French-speaking geotechnical engineers (road, environmental, etc.) who have changed the field through their contributions and numerous successes. We want to celebrate these women who have made a mark on geotechnical engineering, so send names of candidates to Women@cgs.ca!
