Reclamation Workshop: Towards a Shared Foundation For Innovation and Evolution

The CLRA is hosting a workshop for Reclamation Practitioners at the 2024 AGM and Conference. The purpose of this workshop is to highlight and discuss specific issues facing our industry, share potential improvement opportunities, and propose action items to develop solutions. Discussion items may include (but will not be   limited to):  

• What does closure look like?  Are there pathways to do things different than the norm?   
• Best Practices – what needs to be updated, what needs to be created?  
• What Learnings should be shared across various industry sectors, and how can we support information exchange?  
• What new technology can be used to help reclamation programs?

The workshop will bring together multi-disciplinary folks from Government, Field Supervisors,   Technical Reviewers and Project Managers that are open to sharing ideas for innovation.  A report on the day, including action items for new solutions,   will be shared through the CLRA. 

Pre-Workshop Materials will be developed and shared ahead of time to help prepare you for the day.  Everyone should come with an open mind and respectful attitude, be willing to speak but even more, be willing to listen.  The day will be a great one for conversation and to help foster a shared foundation to push innovation. 

Note: This Workshop has limited space and is not a 'first come, first serve' event. You will need to submit your interest for participation consideration.  The Stewardship Committee will select participants from the list of Workshop applicants to ensure there is a good mixture of experience to help create balanced discussions. The Stewardship Committee will notify successful applicants by mid-February. 

We hope this will be the first in the series of workshops and hope to expand to include more interested parties and topics.
