“Being a professional has been a large part of my career.  It has given me rights – and with that, responsibilities. It has allowed me to work on many interesting projects in Canada and abroad.  It has required me to do the best job I possibly can to protect the public and the environment.”

-
Doug VanDine, P. Geo.

“I have come to understand that our professional associations will sustain excellence in our profession be it through ethical rules, continuous education requirements or the coaching of young people so they reach the full title. We must be proud of the road travelled and of our P.Geo. designation.”

-
Isabelle Cadieux, géo.

“Geoscientists Canada is an important umbrella organization representing the common interests of provincial geoscience regulatory bodies. It looks out for geoscientists across the country and provides a forum for discussing issues of mutual concern”

-
Mark Priddle, P.Geo.

Coop_0048-1024x9631_300pxGeoscientists Canada is actively engaged in many different communities that impact the practice of geoscience in Canada, through partnerships and alliances.  It engages with other regulated professions in Canada; with the regulated profession of geoscience in other countries; and with Canada’s geoscience community.

As a member and active participant in the Canadian Network of  Agencies for Regulation (CNAR) formerly known as CNNAR (Canadian Network of National Associations of Regulators, Geoscientists Canada keeps abreast of national developments impacting Canada’s regulated professions and the regulatory bodies that register and regulate practice.  It also participates, on behalf of the geoscience community, in national discussions impacting regulatory affairs for all of Canada’s professions.

Geoscientists Canada has relationships with organizations that regulate and govern geoscience practice in other countries. As geoscience becomes a more formally recognized professional globally, this international network continues to expand.  Today, Geoscientists Canada has co-operation agreements in place with professional geoscience organizations in eight other countries:

  • American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG)
  • Australian Institute of Geoscientists
  • Consiglio Nazionale Dei Geologi (Italy)
  • El Colegio des Geólogos de España,
  • European Federation of Geologists 
  • Institute of Geologists of Ireland
  • National Association of State Boards of Geology (ASBOG)
  • South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions
  • The Geological Society

Geoscientists Canada is also an active participating member in the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) Task Group on Global Geoscience Professionalism (TGGGP).

Geoscientists Canada is a regular observer at meetings of the Canadian Federation of Earth Sciences (CFES).  It also attends meeting of the Canadian Council of Chairs of Earth Science Departments (CCCESD). Geoscientists Canada is a member of the Canadian Geoscience Education Network (CGEN) and participates in CFES’s Outreach Liaison Committee.
