Fence Building Tips: A New AOLS Guide for Homeowners
Most municipalities have regulations about fences – a fact that might be lost on some homeowners. Failure to comply with zoning by-laws could result in a “stop work" order, the non-advancement of mortgage funds, or the loss of a future sale.
To help make the process easier, the Marketing and Recruitment Committee has developed a new brochure called "Fence Building Tips." This brochure is full of useful information and advice on issues such as permits, survey markers, and the importance of hiring a surveyor.
The brochure is available now from the AOLS website: bit.ly/46JFN8h (PDF)
Canadian GoGeomatics Expo & Career Fair
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.
TED Talk: How Generational Stereotypes Hold Us Back At Work
The Inclusivity and Diversity Committee urges you to watch this short, fascinating video:
The Silent Generation, baby boomers, Generation X, millennials, Gen Z – we're all in the workforce together. How are our assumptions about each other holding us back from working and communicating better? Social psychologist Leah Georges shows how we're more similar than different and offers helpful tactics for navigating the multigenerational workplace.
