CONTINUING EDUCATION REGULATORY LEARNING MODULE 2025/26 New learning module:Truth & Reconciliation

This year’s mandatory learning module is focused on deepening awareness of Indigenous Peoples, histories, and the ongoing impacts of colonization. This module will support registrants in building respectful relationships, enhancing cultural understanding, and contributing meaningfully to reconciliation. Specifically, this course will help registrants further understand: • how history impacts Indigenous Peoples • how current Indigenous issues impact Indigenous communities • Indigenous self-government • the constitutional, political, and legal context of Indigenous issues • how Indigenous and Western world views impact decision-making Under the Professional Governance Act and the organization’s Bylaws, Engineers and Geoscientists BC is required to present a regulatory learning module on Indigenous history, Indigenous engagement, and reconciliation at least once every three years. As a reminder, practising registrants must complete this mandatory regulatory learning module in the current reporting year (July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026) to meet their requirements, even if they have already completed the similarly themed module from three years ago. Non practising registrants and trainees may also view the module and record it as a Continuing Education (CE) activity. Scan the Knowledge Centre QR code below to register for the module. Pillar of the Strategic Plan Truth and Reconciliation is embedded in Engineers and Geoscientists BC’s current strategic plan as a key pillar of its commitment to social responsibility.

Truth and Reconciliation, as well as social responsibility education, is reflected in CE offerings, which also encompass sustainability, climate change, and EDI. Engineers and Geoscientists BC’s EDI team is working with consultants to further develop the organization’s Truth and Reconciliation strategy. In tandem, it is coordinating with the CE team to address any immediately actionable gaps in the content offerings, receive feedback, share insights from previously held sessions, and eventually align with the developed strategy. Truth & Reconciliation resource list To assist registrants in their journey through Truth and Reconciliation, Engineers and Geoscientists BC’s EDI team has published a resource list for Truth and Reconciliation. “One of the most important principles of Truth and Reconciliation is acknowledging the ongoing need to learn, unlearn, and listen with humility,” said Sneha Satheendran, EDI Manager, Programs and CE. “In this spirit, our Truth and Reconciliation Working Group, along with some contributions from staff members, has compiled a list of resources to support learning and reflection.” The list features resources, learning modules from third-party providers, guides and guidelines, information on land acknowledgements, videos, articles, books, events, and podcasts.

KNOWLEDGE CENTRE The Knowledge Centre hosts more than 100 on-demand recorded and self-directed courses for educational opportunities.
