Canadian GoGeomatics Expo & Career Fair
Survey Law 1 Course
The Survey Law 1 course is being offered by CBEPS and AOLS through Four Point Learning (4pointlearning.ca) starting September 6, 2023.
Survey Law 1 provides a foundation for professional surveyors to integrate legal principles, legislation and regulations within the overall framework of property boundary surveys. The course will be taught online Wednesday evenings by Izaak de Rijcke. These "live" lectures are recorded for later viewing, as is a weekly pre-recorded lecture. The course schedule and syllabus are available here: 4pointlearning.ca/4PL/SLaw1_Syllabus.pdf.
Registration is via a form on the AOLS site. The course fee is $750.00 plus HST, payable to AOLS. This fee cannot be treated as tuition under the Income Tax Act and is not eligible for a refund after the course has started. Registering by early August will allow enough time to receive the textbook, Principles of Boundary Law in Canada (4pointlearning.ca/4PL/Principles_Boundary_Law.pdf) and to get familiar with underlying concepts and overall approach.

For instance, if you are a surveyor, forester, marine biologist, geographer, real estate agent, mining geologist, engineer, municipal infrastructure manager, communications specialist, or any member of the unlimited user community for geospatial technology and applications, you should attend this event.
The GoGeomatics Expo & Career Fair in Calgary, November 6–8, is designed to bring the Canadian and international geomatics communities together for a national event.
The Expo is the first of an annual series of geomatics technology events. Components of the Expo include workshops, demonstrations, training, speaking and award programs. A Career Fair will be held adjacent the Expo, with free public access.
The Expo has two exceptional educational partners, SAIT (Southern Alberta Institute of Technology) and the Schulich School of Engineering at the University of Calgary. Together, the committee and partners are working together to highlight the excellence of the Canadian geomatics sector on a global scale.
This community-driven event will be a diverse gathering and celebration of our sector's professionals, thought-leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, companies, government, recent graduates and students.
