Brian StocktonHOST
Yeah.
James WhittinghamHOST
High efficiency standards, fans that have earned the Energy Star certification from Natural Resources Canada, this is a Canadian point of view, or equivalent programs use about 60% less energy on average than standard models through improved motor design and the pitch of the blades.
James WhittinghamHOST
So it's just engineering.
James WhittinghamHOST
Yeah.

below average actually for most of the fire season.
Helena MihalikCORRESPONDENT
Yann Boulanger is a forest ecology scientist with Natural Resources Canada.
Helena MihalikCORRESPONDENT
He credits the drop in this year's wildfires to rainfall and average summer temperatures.
Helena MihalikCORRESPONDENT
There was even a period in mid-August with no wildfire activity in Alberta, something that hasn't happened at that time of year in 40 years.
Mike MilesHOST
southern news now alberta is investing 10 million dollars in wildfire prevention projects it comes after this year's wildfire report which shows a massive decline in forest fires due to heavy precipitation levels in the summer helena mahalik reports

These precipitation that were really abundant really helped to soak the soil.

Christy MonacoGUEST
Uh, it, like most of our sponsors had a group of government, or most of our projects had a group of government sponsors.
Christy MonacoGUEST
In this case, it was Natural Resources Canada.
Christy MonacoGUEST
the US Geological Survey, the European Space Agency, and Francis Kness, CNES, who sponsored it.
Christy MonacoGUEST
The scenario that they modeled was on 2011 and 22 floods in the Red River Basin in Canada.
Ryan ZizzoGUEST
And I actually was involved... 10 years ago in writing a grant or supporting a grant application.
Ryan ZizzoGUEST
I was one of the authors on a grant application that went to Natural Resources Canada, NRCan, who provided some funding to support that innovative project.
Ryan ZizzoGUEST
So it was really great to see after a decade, they finally have opened it.
Ryan ZizzoGUEST
And now they finally, they actually just released the results of the carbon assessment that they did for the project and the results of that came out at 400 kilograms of co2 per meter squared um so it's you know a lot of these topics we've talked about in general but we're starting to move towards people having real metrics of like this is the carbon footprint of our building um and this is the embodied carbon footprint of our structure and envelope material so That was really interesting.
Robin GoadGUEST
And the fact that we have three of them that are on critical minerals lists, plus over a million ounces of gold, James Rattling Leafs, Plus the midstream processing, it makes us very important to to particularly to governments, our company has funding from both the US Department of War.
Robin GoadGUEST
as well as Natural Resources Canada.
Robin GoadGUEST
And we're a very advanced project, so we're receiving that funding because we fill important defense industry gaps for metals that are absolutely essential in certain defense applications.
Robin GoadGUEST
We'll take a little break there and you can.
Joe BowdenGUEST
My name is Joe Bowden.
Joe BowdenGUEST
I'm a research scientist with Natural Resources Canada.
Joe BowdenGUEST
And I am an entomologist by training.
Joe BowdenGUEST
So I've been working for the past, about a part of 10 years, on the spruce budworm outbreak in eastern Canada.
Jamie WarrenGUEST
My name is Jamie Warren.
Jamie WarrenGUEST
I'm a biologist with Natural Resources Canada.
Jamie WarrenGUEST
And every summer we run around the island chasing budworm populations.
Joe BowdenGUEST
So we're nestled right in the middle of Gros Morne National Park in Berry Hill Campground.
Paul HollowayGUEST
Okay, so most of the certifications in Canada for general non-destructive testing technicians, the certifying body is the government.
Paul HollowayGUEST
It's the Natural Resources Canada, and we certify to the Canadian General Standards Board, or CGSB, 48.9712 document, which is a lot of numbers.
Paul HollowayGUEST
It's basically now a clone of the international ISO 9712.
Paul HollowayGUEST
We just, we basically, we used to have little caveats in CGSB that says, well, we'll take everything that's in here except for the following things.
Paul HollowayGUEST
There's another conversation to have about that too, where if you could do both, that is a massive superpower.
Paul HollowayGUEST
If you could be a welder and an inspector.
Paul HollowayGUEST
Now, I mentioned that Natural Resources Canada was the certifying body.
Paul HollowayGUEST
It's also now, in the last couple of years, the CWB is now the other major certifying body in Canada.
