Overview
To ensure that industry best practices are understood, applied and adapted to Alberta’s needs, forums for building technical capacity, communication, cooperation and collaboration between dam owners, regulators, industry and professionals are necessary. Alberta Dam Safety seeks opportunities for partnerships that deliver content tailored to those involved in operations and dam safety assessments and evaluations in Alberta.
2022-23 Dam Safety Webinar Series
In partnership with the Canadian Dam Association (CDA), Alberta Agriculture and Irrigation (AGI) organized a webinar series on the dam safety methodologies and advanced technologies currently being applied to AGI’s dam infrastructure and Canadian dams. The series is intended for dam owners, engineers, engineering technologists, operators, and regulators who are interested in learning from the experiences of other professionals.
The series will include 5 webinars scheduled between December 2022 to March 2023. Each webinar will be recorded and available on this web page for a limited time following the live event. For more information and to register in the live events, visit Canadian Dam Association.
