On
September 5, 2002, the Golden Boy was re-installed on the Legislative Building
dome after a seven-month repair which cost approximately $1 million. The
project, which earned Dillon Consulting an Award of Excellence, was an
extremely challenging project involving more than 10 sub-consultants and test
labs, and 10 contractors. To learn more about the project and the Golden Boy,

Engineers
Geoscientists Manitoba is working to increase the number of Indigenous
practitioners in engineering and geoscience. As part of that work, we want to
better understand the perspectives and experiences of Indigenous engineers and
geoscientists. We have engaged Probe Research Inc., a professional research
firm, to conduct a series of round-table discussions with Indigenous
Association members as well as Indigenous engineering graduates who did not
ultimately pursue a professional designation. If you are interested in
participating in the round-table discussions, see the
event
listing for more information.
Looking for something to do over
the long weekend? Check out our scavenger hunt designed to inspire Manitobans

projects all around us that affect our day-to-day lives, habits, communities,
the earth and waterways, and all of their inhabitants. Prizes are available to
all residents of Manitoba so share with friends and family to get them learning
about engineering and geoscience! See the

The Women in
Engineering and Geoscience Mentorship Program, which follows the upcoming
academic year, groups engineering or geoscience students with an intern (EIT or
GIT) and a licensed professional member to engage in a formal mentoring
relationship. This unique program will provide you with opportunities to
network with other engineers and geoscientists, hone your mentorship skills,
and ultimately, create a community of women in engineering and geoscience in
Manitoba. To join us for an optional online Mentorship Program Orientation
Session, see the
event
listing. To learn more about the program or to register as a mentor or
