Oil Sands Branch

WINNER OF THE MEL BARTLEY OUTSTANDING BRANCH AWARD IN 2005

The CIM Oil Sands branch is about community, networking and sharing technical knowledge in the Wood Buffalo region. The branch works with other local groups, such as the local chapter of the Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists, & Geophysicists of Alberta (APEGA). The CIM meetings qualify for professional development points that APEGA members must earn throughout the year. The branch is actively involved in the community, annually doing fundraisers to support the Northern Lights Foundation, which raises funds to support and promote health care in the Region of Wood Buffalo.

In the last couple of years, the branch has been rejuvenated. In 2017, we had 4 technical talks with 10-30 people in attendance. Our golf tournament was sold out at 144 golfers and we raised $22,808 for local health care. In the future we plan on continuing this trend with even more technical talks and events.

Klohn Crippen Berger

I've been a CIM member for about 10 years, since around 2014. As a newcomer to Canada, I joined to network with people in the industry. I connected with the local Vancouver branch and started volunteering on the technical committee. I've met people I wouldn't have otherwise, both professionally and socially, creating lasting friendships.
