QUESTION: I am a student member. Since we cannot have more than one course in each subject, are we allowed to choose both the Geology and Environmental Geoscience streams or should we only stick to one stream?
ANSWER: Yes, you can move between Geology and Environmental streams for section 2B of the Knowledge Requirements guide.
Follow-up question: For the Environmental Geoscience stream, are we allowed to have three courses for the last subgroup of "Geomorphology/Soil Science, Glacial Geology and Remote Sensing" as long as we have one course per each of these subjects? Or is it strictly two courses from each subgroup only?
Answer: No, it is strictly two courses for any sub-group.

Three short huts with solar panels on them sprout in Bob McIntosh's wheat field near St. Marys, ON.
Inside the huts are monitoring equipment that goes right to the tiles that systemically move water from his farm. His farm is one of six across Ontario with the monitoring equipment that allows University of Waterloo researchers to study how water, and especially the phosphorus in it, flows off of farms.
"We're trying to capture the natural variability in the Ontario landscape," says Dr. Janina Plach, who is doing post-doctoral research at the University of Waterloo.

Construction industry stakeholders are calling Premier Kathleen Wynne's most recent Ring of Fire road access announcement a "game changer" for development in northern Ontario. "I think it's a huge win for northern Ontario as a whole," said Adam Pinder, executive director of the Sault Ste. Marie Construction Association.
"That level of development will certainly impact construction companies either directly or indirectly across the north. A road of that size, an investment of that size, just to get the project underway is a big deal, let alone the potential of the actual Ring of Fire area."

First Cobalt said it's prepared to widen its presence in the historic Cobalt mining camp.
The Toronto explorer announced it has entered into a definitive merger agreement with CobalTech following the signing of a binding letter of intent earlier this summer.
The merger creates a pure cobalt exploration play with a roster of 11 former producing mines and a mill facility in northeastern Ontario. Besides having copper-cobalt properties in the Congo, First Cobalt has close to 3,000 hectares of property in the Cobalt area, including an option for the former past producing Keeley-Frontier silver mine.

It was a fine black powder sold to mines around the world that miners were obliged to inhale before each shift underground. The idea was that the aluminium powder would coat their lungs preventing the known mining disease of silicosis. That was the theory behind McIntyre Powder, developed at the McIntre mine in Ontario and sold to other mines in Canada and several other countries and which was in use from the 1940s to the 1970s.

A long-standing local event is marking an anniversary and a bit of an identity change this fall.
The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) will host the 20th annual Durham Children's Watershed Festival Sept. 25-29 at Camp Samac in Oshawa.
Some may notice the festival is featuring a new moniker this year, and organizer Yvonne Storm says this is to reflect how the event has grown over the past two decades.
Previously known as the Durham Children's Groundwater Festival, the event has modernized itself to better represent its goals.
