Event Description

Jan 26th - Jan 30th Workshop - FULL

Now Registering for Feb 23rd - 27th, 2011

This workshop is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and tools required to grasp both business and technical aspects of solar photovoltaic integration. Students will be immersed in the specifics of grid tied solar photovoltaic design and installation; utility and Electrical Safety Authority protocol; and safety & best practice procedures. In addition, the student will be afforded in depth analysis of the Ontario solar market and its main driver the Ontario Power Authorities Feed In Tariff program.

CREA believes that renewable energy and sustainable practices will provide an ever increasing source of “green collar jobs” here in Ontario and across Canada. This workshop has been developed in an effort to position the graduate for success in the Ontario solar market and provide a steadfast education which will weather future developments in the sector. CREA’s initiative to bring a standard of education to the Ontario market place is embodied by this workshop; to this end, the workshop has been created by not only industry professionals but also education specialists to help ensure that our certificate of completion will endure regulatory compliance as the sector and trade of solar PV installation is established here in Ontario.

Pulse Market Insight #287

Big Crops But No Surprises From StatsCan The long-awaited 2025 yield and production estimates from StatsCan were released this week but were a bit anticlimactic; anyone looking for a surprise in the numbers would have been disappointed. Yes, crops were certainly larger this year but that was already expected. During harvest, reports of very large yields kept coming in, well above StatsCan’s August and September numbers. As a result, this month’s higher yield estimates from StatsCan were anticipated. In fact, it would have been a shock if the yield numbers hadn’t changed. These latest estimates from StatsCan were based on a large farmer survey conducted in November and confirmed the positive harvest results. In fact, they may have understated the actual yields, as they sometimes do. The StatsCan numbers show the total 2025 pulse crop at 8.22 mln tonnes, a jump of more than 2 million tonnes from last year and the largest production since 2016/17. There were differences for each of the

Alberta Grains and Western Crop Innovations Launch Three-Year Agreement to Strengthen Barley Breeding in Alberta

Alberta Grains (AG) and Western Crop Innovations (WCI) have signed a new three-year Breeding and Technician Chair agreement to advance feed barley breeding in Alberta. Announced at the Alberta Grains Regional Meeting in Lacombe, the partnership represents a $600,000 investment from Alberta Grains, delivered at $200,000 per year, to fund a breeder and senior technician dedicated to high-impact barley research and variety development. Strengthening the Future of Public Plant Breeding in Canada Cereal breeding in Canada has long relied on public funding, but the landscape is rapidly shifting. With the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) moving forward on Seed Regulatory Modernization and farmers urging Prime Minister Carney’s government to recognize agriculture’s economic importance, the need for sustainable public plant breeding has become a national discussion. At the same time, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) faces budget reductions and plans to exit variety development i
