UpcomingEventsUpcoming EventsThe Ottawa Chapter coordinates a variety of activities throughout each calendar year. Activities range from the local Chapter AGM, which is traditionally held in the first quarter of the year, to seminars on a wide range of topics. Tours are also held at various times throughout the year. The Ottawa Chapter regularly plans New Members' Nights, which are designed to welcome new Licencees to the profession. These events often include a speaker or a tour of an interesting Ottawa area site - the Diefenbunker for example! For those with an interest in sports -- there is the HOPE Beach Volleyball team, the Annual Golf Tournament held in the summer, the Curling Bonspiel and a family night at the Kanata Wave Pool, which are usually held in the first quarter of the year. For the avid paddler. For more information on upcoming events, please check the most recent calendar of events.

The Arctic: Challenges and Opportunities in Canada's BackyardThis presentation was originally held on October 28, but due to popular demand, a second session is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday February 9, 2010. Please refer to updates to this website in January for registration information. Description: Interest in the Arctic is heating up - because the Arctic is heating up! This presentation will outline some of the issues and opportunities facing Canada - and recent actions taken - especially within the international/geo-political context. There will be some "myth busting" too, particularly given the emerging role of the Arctic Council, and the dynamics within the European Union and its member states. These will create technological and public policy opportunities and challenges for this generation of engineers and public servants. Join the dialogue, look into our past (Arctic artifacts will be on display) and have a peek into our future. Following his highly successful presentation on Canada's Arctic at IPAC's annual general meeting, Dr. Peter Harrison has graciously agreed to reprise his presentation at this event.
