Don't miss this event! There is still time to register for the conference.
The IAH-CNC 2015 Waterloo technical program will span the range of current hydrogeological issues in Canada — from the latest research to advances in professional practice. Hydrogeology is a maturing science in Canada, and we want to provide a great opportunity to learn from each other and connect Canadian hydrogeologists to each other and to the wider IAH community.

Canadian Mining Journal
The Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada and the Mining Association of Canada have both come out with support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
As the federal government sees it, the TPP would become the framework for trade between Canada and several Pacific Rim countries. Not only does it seek to lower trade barriers, but also would standardize intellectual property rights, enforce standards for labour and environmental law, and establish an investor-state dispute settlement process.

Northern Life
The Northern Centre for Advanced Technology (NORCAT) started in a basement room at Cambrian College in 1995, but has since expanded in physical size — to a multi-million dollar facility — and scope over its 20-year history.
NORCAT founder Darryl Lake returned to the facility and organization he helped build for the first time since his retirement in 2012, to celebrate NORCAT's 20th anniversary recently. Lake started his career as an educator, and created NORCAT to keep young talented people in the north.

For the past half a century, Chatham residents have been able to flush toilets and wash things down the drain with little concern about where it goes or what happens to it.
Having no worries about the environmental impacts of this convenience has been thanks to the Chatham Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) that reached the milestone 50th anniversary of its commissioning recently.
Tours of the WWTP were held as part of the province-wide Green Doors Open House event designed to showcase individual community and commercial sustainable energy projects.

Orefinders Resources has completed its closure plan for off-site custom milling of some mineralized stockpiles at its Mirado Gold Project, near Kirkland Lake.
Three stockpiles were left behind on surface at the former producing Mirado Mine, once operated by Gold Shield during the late 1980s.
The stockpiles have a calculated inferred gold resource of 2,939 ounces at 4.41 grams per tonne (g/t) for a total of 20,742 tonnes based on more than 300 samples taken.

Over 740 virtual prospectors from 65 countries have joined a search for Quebec gold, but from the comfort of their homes and offices. That was the recent tally, when Integra Gold announced the six Gold Rush Challenge judges who'll assess submissions for a potential deposit on the company's Abitibi region properties. The winner of the online exploration contest gets $500,000, while runners-up will share another half million.

Drought-conscious Californians surpassed Gov. Jerry Brown's conservation goal yet again, cutting their water use 27 per cent compared to the same period in 2013, according to state data released recently.
The Bay Area remained near the front of the pack, with some water agencies such as the Dublin San Ramon Services District, Contra Costa Water District and the city of Menlo Park cutting back more than 40 per cent over 2013, the state's baseline year for measuring water savings. The region, as a whole, logged a 30.5 per cent reduction in water use.

A new study, published recently in the journal Nature Geoscience, offers the first exploration of the relationship between major river flows and volcanic eruptions. Previous research has suggested that major volcanic eruptions can cause a shortage of precipitation in places around the world. Volcanic ash can block sunlight and thwart rain cloud formation. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh looked at how this climatic domino effect influences rivers.
