Workshop on Hiring and Integrating Immigrants into the Petroleum Industry Workforce
The oil and gas industry is now in the midst of the labour crunch experts have been predicting for years. In today’s tight labour market, tapping into the immigrant labour pool is key to addressing the skills shortage and minimizing the negative impacts associated with current and future labour concerns. Alberta receives about 20,000 immigrants each year. Most of these immigrants are highly educated foreign trained professionals who gain entry on the basis of their skills and education, but have higher unemployment rates than the Canadian born. Immigrants are clearly an under-utilized labour pool and their skills and talent are untapped.
Though immigrant recruitment is not the only solution to the labour shortage, it is a necessary component of a comprehensive recruitment strategy. Employers who are ready to recruit and integrate immigrants currently living in Canada - also referred to as internationally trained workers - into their workforce will have a clear advantage in the competition for skilled employees.
The Petroleum HR Council (the Council) recently completed its Alberta Immigrant Integration into the Petroleum Industry (Phase I study) project. Funded by Alberta Employment, Immigration and Industry (AEII), the project was aimed at determining the tools, resources and support processes needed by the oil and gas industry to increase the employment and retention of internationally trained workers living in Alberta.
Following the completion of the Phase I study and through additional funding from AEII, the Council piloted an Employer Workshop on Hiring and Integrating Immigrants into the Petroleum Industry. The objectives of the workshop were:
1. Raising employers’ awareness of current immigrant recruitment and integration barriers and challenges.
2. Equipping employers to assess and/or change current HR processes and practices.
3. Providing employer tools and resources to help recruit and integrate immigrants into the petroleum workforce.
The workshop was held on April 17 at Spectra Energy’s Training Room in Calgary. The full-day training was free and a total of thirty industry people, mostly human resources personnel, attended. The industry was well represented from small to large companies within the E&P, oil sands, service, geophysical and service sectors.
The workshop provided information to support the hiring and integration of immigrants already in Canada.
The workshop offered the following:
• Labour market information that supports the business case for hiring immigrants;
• Some foreign trained workers with relevant petroleum industry experience shared their approaches and challenges to finding employment in Canada;
• Case studies on managing diversity; and
• A handout of employer tools and resources that support the hiring, integration and/or retention of immigrants into the petroleum industry.
The workshop shared some tools and resources. These included a few items developed by the Council and many from other organizations. One resource that participants found incredibly useful was the Inventory of Calgary and Edmonton Immigrant Supply Partners. This included information about who offered internship programs, work experience programs, job placement programs, access to the immigrant candidate pool and mentoring programs. This chart is available online through the Council’s website at www.petrohrsc.ca.
The feedback that the Council received from the workshop was positive. One participant shared, “If I can relay this information to Senior Management and get buy-in, my job will be easier and the stress of retention will be drastically reduced. We will be able to make our immigrant workers integrate more easily.”

Minimum area of isolation.
SIZE GUIDELINESBrochures and ads in the trade press use a logo width of 1.8 in [46 mm]. Separate guidance on the position and size of logos on stationery, oilfield vehicles, and hardware is available.
MINIMUM AREA OF ISOLATIONThe Caltex logo is always surrounded by a predetermined area of clear space, known as the area of isolation or the “n” rule. This ensures that the logo is not overpowered by other visual elements.
The area of isolation is calculated by placing a margin of clear space around the logo that is equivalent to the height of the lowercase letter n in the word energy in the Caltex logo.
COLORWherever possible, the Caltex logo should appear in its primary colors: PMS 541 (Blue) and 100% Black (PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM® 541). Care should be taken to match and apply the color specifications accurately and consistently.
The logo may also appear white, reversed out of solid black or out of a photograph or illustration. For those instances where printing with a Pantone ink is not possible or practical, logo can be printed in CMYK.
Where the logo cannot be reproduced in color—for example, on forms or business directories—it should be reproduced in 100% solid black.
No other format changes to the logo are allowed.

ATP is proud to present comic virtuoso Randy Hughson in this hilarious and hair-raisingmasterpiece of unrequited love and infrasonic sensitivity, in an award-winning production
that gripped Toronto by the ears.
Doyle is a man who hears too much. Hunkered in his grotty apartment he rails against cacophonoushumanity. The scrunch as the writer upstairs crumples his latest rejection letter. The clatter of
someone’s false teeth as they vibrate on a fridge down the hall. He’d shoot himself immediately, if
it weren’t for the beloved gurgle of his next-door neighbour climbing into her bath. All Doyle
asks of life is to eavesdrop as she unfolds his love-letter – but sometimes life just isn’t listening.

Premier Stelmachannounces Bell e-Learning Centre on Campus
Record number of student awards presented
9February 2008
A pot of fragrant tea is brewing in the Atrium of theLand Sciences Centre at Olds College Campus.
A curious student saunters over, drawn by the compelling scent. “Would you like a cup of our Stop Smoking brew?” asks Jill Ransom, the TobaccoReduction Project Leader on campus.
The tea is a custom blend of several beneficial herbs,including lemongrass, dandelion root, catnip andvalerian. “The tea is supposed to help curb cravings,”Ransom adds.
Over the course of a two-day open house held inJanuary, Ransom handed out 125 cups of tea. “With athird of our students lighting up, it’s obvious that helpis needed,” she notes.
The Tobacco Reduction Project at Olds College beganin 2004 and has been available to all students on campussince its inception. The Project is available to supportall students, whether or not they’re tobacco users.
“On January 1, 2008, the provincial Tobacco ReductionAct came into effect,” Ransom says. “Olds College students have been forerunners in creating change toTobacco Policy on campus. All areas around doorways,windows and air vents were already designated non-smoking areas.
“As well, the students have eliminated the sale oftobacco products on campus and have been operatinga smoke-free pub for over two years.”
She says that young adults still have the highest smokingrate of any age group in Canada. “Tobacco use is themost significant cause of preventable disease, disabilityand premature death in Canada, and it is responsible formore than 47,000 deaths every year,” she says. “Tobaccokills three times more Canadians each year than alcohol,AIDS, illegal drugs, car accidents, suicide, and murder –all combined.”
The Tobacco Reduction Project at Olds College isfunded by AADAC grants. The project focuses on the following:
• Education
• Prevention of young adult tobacco use
• Reducing non-smokers’ exposure to tobaccosmoke
• Providing encouragement and assistance for thosewho wish to stop using tobacco.
Phil Trenholm has beenpicking saskatoon berriessince he could walk. The owner/operator ofSaskaberry Ranch nearSundre has eight acres ofsaskatoons producing.
“We picked out 2500pounds in 2007,” Trenholm says.
He’s a former Olds Collegestudent, and he’s excitedabout new research thatsuggests saskatoons containqualities that are extremelybeneficial to humans. OldsCollege researchers haveidentified a compound within the berry that helpsto fight free radical cell damage.
“Through our nutraceuticalresearch, we have identifiedanthocyanins in the skin
and mash of the berry,” says Terry McKay, senior processengineer at the Olds College School of Innovation (OCSI).“That means, we can take what was previously discardedfrom the berry, and turn it into a value-added product.”
Free radicals are considered dangerous, he adds, becauseof their instability. “Free radicals essentially ‘steal’ electronsfrom other cells or molecules,” McKay says. “The dangerexists due to the significant probability that, over time, theability and tendency to bond to other atoms can actuallycreate a new substance which can cause harm to thebody.”
Free radical scavengers – also referred to as antioxidants -have the ability to neutralize free radicals. “Essentially,they act as a bank, loaning electrons to free radicals,”McKay says. “Some of the most abundant and powerfulantioxidants are contained in dark berries.”
He notes that a diet containing dark berries or vegetableswill provide an individual with some of the antioxidantsrequired to fight free radicals.
Functional foods and nutraceuticals provide an opportunity to improve the health of Canadians, reducehealth care costs and support economic development inrural communities, states a report by Agriculture andAgri-Food Canada.
This is good news for the saskatoon berry industry. “The more nutraceutical research that takes place and the more that the health benefits are realized, the more diversified the demand for saskatoons,” says Trenholm.
“Conducting sound nutraceutical research can transformthe industry from a simple pie that your grandmotherbaked on the prairies to a full-fledged fruit industry withmany health benefits.”
Brewing up some interest!

Saddles are off and we’re headin’ for hay!A scuffed cowboy boot juts out of the driver’s window of a parkedpick-up beside the Olds College Riding Arena. There’s a nappingcowboy attached to it, and he’s likely resting up from events heldduring the Olds College Alumni Rodeo, on January 26.
“It was a real good rodeo,” says Wayne Powell, coordinator of therodeo program at Olds College.
Nearly 100 riders participated in the events, showcased in frontof 150 spectators.
“We had a great crowd, especially for this time of year,” Powelladds. “The building was full. I think the rodeo club made somemoney.”
Alum Jeff Havens (Ag Production ‘03 and Advanced FarrierScience ‘05) won the Team Roping event. “It was a fun deal,” says Havens. “I take it as a great opportunity to see some oldfriends and catch up.”
Highlights of the rodeo included the live auction, where the rodeocoaches were sold off. “The auction brought in about $650,” saysJan Bishler, president of the Olds College Rodeo Club.
Olds College Rodeo Coach Greg Hoar fetched the most money,with a head price of $325. “He had to run the barrel racing whilewearing a woman’s brown suede fringed shirt, with a leopardskin collar,” says Bishler.
All money earned goes back into the rodeo fund. Be sure toattend the College Rodeo, held on March 1 and 2.
Olds College alumni rodeo horses Rocky and Chicken (white)have earned their keep for the day. The two belong to alumniJeff Havens, who placed first in the Team Roping event.Havens’ fiancé, Penny Evans (Alum 2001), is shown here leading the horses to a munch of well-deserved hay.

Put ‘em in pies or jams, or just eat them by the handful!Saskatoon berries are a delicious fruit grown on the prairies.
New research on nutraceuti-cals indicates that a diet containing dark berries may provide some of theantioxidants required to fight free radicals, says Terry McKay, senior processengineer at the Olds CollegeSchool of Innovation. Here,he displays Saskatoon berrymash (left bowl) and thederivatives (right bowl).

Throughout the history of Olds College, countless campus couples have met and married. On this page, we’d like to pay tribute to these young and seasoned couples.Happy Valentine’s Day!
Meet me at the church on time!
He's old-fashioned, and she loves it.
Olds College student, Tammie Kulyk, knew somethingwas up when her boyfriend, Lucas Weatherbee took herhand and led her along the pathway in Centennial Parklast October.
“He walked me down to the church building,” she says.“Then he got down on one knee and asked me to marryhim.”
Ms. Kulyk, who is majoring in Finance in the AgricultureBusiness program, met her fiancé, Lucas, through a friend.
“My friend, Brandi, was taking a class with Lucas andshe introduced us one day at the library,” she says.
Their courtship included going to movies and socialgatherings. “We also love snowboarding, riding andranching,” Lucas adds. “I thank God I came to schoollast year to meet the angel of my life.”
The two plan to marry on June 6, 2009, at Tammie’sfamily ranch in Cereal.
“Life is definitely going to be full of surprises with Lucas around,” notes Tammie. “There will never be a dull moment.”
During a blustery day, Steve Larocque led his love, Vanessa, to a park bench on a Canmorewalking trail. He proposed to her,amidst a sprinkling of rose petals.
Rosy Romance
Thank goodness for insects.
That’s what Olds Collegegrad (2001) and NuffieldScholar Steve Larocquesays, when he thinks ofhow he met his wife.
“I first noticed Vanessawhile we were both attending
an Entymology Class,” says thepresident of Beyond Agronomy,
located in Three Hills, Alberta.
Steve and Vanessa were bothenrolled in the Crop Advisor program,
and shared some classes together. “Later,I finally mustered up enough courage to
invite her out for lunch in the Atrium.”
Over the next few months, the two sweetheartsgrew closer as a couple, while they hiked in the
mountains near Canmore and enjoyed dinners out.
“We carried on our romance even while Vanessa studied agricultureat the University of Lethbridge,” says Steve.
Finally, on August 23, 2003, he asked her to marry him.
“We were strolling along Policeman Creek in Canmore, and oddlyenough, there were red rose petals sprinkled along the pathway,”says Vanessa. “When we sat down on a bench by the river, the windcame up and we could barely hear each other talking.”
She did hear an unusual clunk, though, when Steve took his seatbeside her.
“Then I knew,” she laughs.
He kneeled down and presented a diamond engagement ring.
“He was very traditional,” she says. “Amidst my blubbering, I said yes.”
They married on July 17, 2004, in the little Anglican Church inCanmore, in front of 100 wedding guests.
Highlights of their union include traveling together and working at Beyond Agronomy, which the couple own and operate.
“We’re best friends and colleagues, as well as husband and wife,”Vanessa says. “The humour we share is the best. Steve’s a clown.”
The two are grateful to Olds College, for giving them the chance to meet.
Steve and Vanessa are expecting their first child this summer.

Traveling in style!
Lady, your chariot awaits.
On June 30, 1979, freshly-marriedShelley Ingeveld was ready to head offon her honeymoon in a souped-upDodge Polaris with a 440 Interceptorengine. Her new husband, Gerald waseager to take the wheel.
“It sure could fly,” says Shelley. Her dad was a mechanic, and he had prepared the car for the newlywed couple’s getaway to the west coast.
“But then my brother took off with thecar,” Shelley recalls. “The boys hookedup the baler to Gerald’s truck, and that
was our wedding car.”
Shelley and Gerald met during an Olds College Aggie hayride heldin mid-September, in 1978. “It was after the Ag-Mech picnic,”Gerald says. “It was an annual affair to help people to get to knoweach other.”
The hay wagon bumped its way over to the goat farm on-campus,where a bonfire awaited.
“Shelley was telling me her dad was a mechanic,” Gerald says.
Both lived in the old Res, and Shelley spent her free time playing soccer, volleyball andfloor hockey.
“Olds College had a great intramural program,” she says. “We liked it.”
Currently, when the Ingeveldsaren’t playing volleyball in theBergen Hall on Wednesdaynights, they’re working their pure-bred polled Hereford cattle and quar-terhorses on 1,000 acres of land atDouble N Ranch, which Gerald’s grand-father started in 1906.
“There has to be a shared interest in what youdo,” she says.
For her most recent birthday, Gerald presented his wife with a rather non-traditional gift: a fencinghammer with an ergonomic handle. “It’s great for hit-ting a staple,” Shelley laughs.
The two have a son and a daughter.
When asked what they’re going to do for Valentine’s Day, Shelleysays: “I’m going to get some fencing done, if it’s warm out!”
The Ingeveld couple’s honeymoon muscle car was replaced by an old farm truck!
The couple that ranchestogether, stays together,
say Bergen residents Shelleyand Gerald Ingeveld, who have
enjoyed nearly 30 years of marriage.

missionTo inspire communities,
students, teachers and
families by creating and
providing programs and
services that promote
the advancement, learn-
ing, and valuing of
science and technology
in every day life.
Our partners and
stakeholders, who are
key to our success,
include Alberta’s rural
and urban communities,
educational institutions,
government and the
private sector.
What began as recognition of the need for Alberta to compete in
the high-tech global economy has evolved into a unique and
innovative organization that promotes the advancement, learning
and valuing of science and technology.
Jim Gray, a well-known Calgary oilman and international entre-
preneur, was the first to articulate his concerns and to propose
the concept of Science Alberta Foundation. It was 1989 when he
told audiences, "In order to effectively compete, to sustain our
standard and quality of life in Alberta, we must move in the main
stream of global technology. We must challenge our scientists,
excite our students, mobilize corporate support – all with the
view of enriching our learning and scientific base in Alberta."
Mr. Gray caught the attention of the media, and when the provin-
cial government asked for proof of support for his concept, more
than 22,000 Albertans signed a petition. In 1991, Science Alberta
received $4 million from the provincial
and federal governments and the private
sector to finance a two-year pilot project.
By the end of the project, the Foundation
had proven itself as a catalyst for the
creation of programs with a focus on
people-based initiatives, rather than
capital-intensive facilities.

The first exhibition, Body in the Library, toured in the first year
of the pilot project. Three more exhibitions were launched
in 1992. The success of these exhibitions demonstrated the
value of bringing the wonder of science to people in their own
communities. In the same year, Science Alberta helped establish
four regional science councils and four science hotlines.
It was in 1993 that Science Alberta launched Science in a Crate.
Trunk-sized crates, each containing compact science programs
– complete with resources – were made available to a variety of
venues including Alberta schools, libraries and museums. That
same year, Science Alberta awarded its first grants to 13 com-
munity groups to develop programs promoting science awareness.
The prestigious Michael Smith Award for Science Promotion
and the ASTech Award for Public Awareness were both present-
ed to Science Alberta in 1994.
In 1995, the Foundation began offering educational publications.
Among the first were Let’s Do Science and Backyard Safari. Also
that year, the four-year Alberta Discovery Project was launched to
provide extracurricular pro-
gramming for students who
would not otherwise have the
opportunity to participate in
enhanced science activities.

The logo places a focus on the letter “i” to emphasize Hatsize's support of individuals by empowering them to reach their goals within IT companies. The font used in the logo is a strong, modern, yet welcoming font which presents Hatsize as a confident and understated brand.
Tagline usage:
White space surrounding the logo allows for separation from any images or content that may interfere with the logo.

Hello and welcome to the 2008 International Pipeline Exposition and Calgary, Alberta! Over the next few days, you will have a unique opportunity to meet and interact with the most skilled and recognized brands in the global pipeline industry, as well as delegates and visitors from almost 50 countries.
In a world where energy demands are growing at unprecedented rates, it is obvious that pipelines will play an increasingly important roll in safely and efficiently transporting oil & gas from upstream to downstream destinations and to market. The importance of pipelines has also lead to the continued growth of the IPE.
This installment of the IPE also builds on it’s reputation as an international event and features technology from across the globe. Whether it’s the very latest in corrosion control, pipeline integrity, detection systems, testing, inspection or various pigging solutions... delegates and visitors will witness the best from North and South America, Asia, Europe and beyond.
Alberta is a particularly exciting place for the energy industry overall and pipelines are critical to the industry’s growth. As production in Alberta’s vast oilsands deposits are increased and more of it’s approximately 173 billion barrels of oil are recovered, it will be pipelines that will transport the resource to downstream destinations and beyond. Current pipeline assets however will need to double by 2015 to meet current production forecast estimates. In addition, pipelines will be critical to opening up new markets and increasing access to Alberta’s vast resources for economies throughout Asia and beyond.
In addition to showcasing the best in the industry, combined with the International Pipeline Conference, IPE fulfils a vital function by providing a forum for industry, government, regulators and the public to learn about leading edge knowledge in pipeline engineering, and to discuss the current and emerging issues facing the industry now and in the future.
So, please enjoy the 2008 IPE and allow yourself the time to meet the hundreds of exhibitors that are involved with this year’s event. Also make sure to experience as much of Calgary as possible – the heart of Canada’s energy industry - as well as our world famous Rocky Mountains, Banff and of course our Western hospitality.
Kindest Regards,
Monte Sumner, Event Manager

The three cornerstones upon whichCompany of Rogues is built are: Acting is in the doing. Acting is living truthfully under the imaginary circumstances.Talent without craft is like a fuel without an engine, it burns wildly but accomplishes nothing. The Rogues approach is asynergy of the best techniques drawn from Meisner, Hagen, Shurtleff and Stanislavski in the pursuit of truth-full lifethat is rendered moment to unanticipated moment.
Over the years, Company of Rogues Actors Studio has nourished the actors development while cultivating skilled professionals in the industry. We continue to dedicate ourselves to this unfolding and enjoy our reputation as one ofWestern Canada’s top training facilities.
