VANCOUVER, BC (Sept. 7, 2023) \u2014 As it approaches its fifth year of operation, the Landform Design Institute is focusing on responding to growing demand for lectures and courses. The Institute will soon start making archived recordings of its quarterly \u201cLunch and Learn\u201d lectures available to all landform design practitioners. And due to the success of the lectures, a new series is being planned for individual and student members, who will soon have exclusive access to presentations tailored to their interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gord McKenna, LDI founder and chair, has noted the importance of education to ensure practitioners enter the field as well equipped as possible. \u201cAll mines need to be preparing for reclamation before they even begin operations,\u201d said McKenna. \u201cThe team of specialists needed to reclaim lands affected by a mine should be formed before the first shovel hits the ground.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the past year, the Institute has routinely engaged in discussions with academic institutions in Canada and abroad with a view to jointly producing coursework. Those interactions are already producing collaborative programs. Course development will also be a focus of the LDI Board of Directors\u2019 first-ever in-person meeting, scheduled for November 23\u201324 in Edmonton, Alberta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
