Newfoundland and Labrador is a cradle of beauty, an epitome of warmth and an impressive embodiment of nature such that the average Newfoundlander and Labradorian has not seen enough of its beauty.
From the Cape Spear, the easternmost point in Canada, to the Signal Hill where the first ever transatlantic radio signal in human history was received by Guglielmo Marconi, to the Geo Centre, about 400km from where the Titanic sank making the city the closest city on earth to the Titanic accident crash, to the Witless Bay and bay Bulls that host whales and the largest colony of puffins in North America, a whopping 260,000 and second largest colony of Leach’s storm petrels of about 620,000, to the Irish loop that winds close to the coast line to the west, and to the frontier features of Labrador, the awe is unexplainable.

AQUATIC RESOURCES MANAGEMENT AND COASTLINE INTEGRITY WORKSHOP
THIS EVENT IS POSTPONED INDEFINITELY
Aquatic Resources Management and Coastline Integrity Workshop
June 15-18, 2020
St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
Synopsis
Canada has enviably managed her aquatic resources and her territorial landscape over decades. This has boosted her ocean economy and made her the developing nation’s prime help. She boasts of a coastline approximately 265,000 km and has adequately secured this for safety and economic development. Nigeria struggles with securing her waters with a coastline of just over 3,000km and has lost millions of dollars to ocean crime in addition to the risk of coastline porosity. Of concern also are the global challenges of ocean pollution and dwindling of aquatic resources, climate change and global warming.
The Global Fisheries Enforcement Workshop hosted by the International Monitoring, Control and Surveillance Network in San Jose, Costa Rica in 2014 witnessed policy makers in Nigeria who learnt a lot from nations like Canada and the USA. Probably much of these have not been translated into operational beneficial use. This workshop however provides a direct bilateral engagement. Areas to be addressed as requested by stakeholders in Nigeria include; Ocean Protection Plan, Voluntary Guidelines for Sustainability of the Small-Scale Fisheries Certification of Aquaculture Enterprises, Fish Stock Assessments, Fish Observers Program, Fisheries Statistics Data Collection and Analysis, Marine Fisheries Monitoring Programs, Training in Development of Fisheries Management Plan (particularly for Artisanal sector) and Fisheries Crime.
It promises to be the best educational tour Fisheries stakeholders in Nigeria have witnessed.
The symposium and trip will feature; Presentations, Interactive sessions, Boat and Bus Tours, and Networking. It is going to be a lifetime experience and opportunity.
The symposium is for Policy makers and Regulators in the Fisheries Sector, Researchers in Tertiary and Research Institutes, Large Scale and Medium Scale Fisheries Owners, and Territorial Security Officials.
EXPLOITING STAKEHOLDERS SYNERGY FOR TELECOMMUNICATION ADVANCEMENT IN NIGERIA
DATE FOR THIS EVENT TO BE DETERMINED LATER
Nigerian Telecommunications Workshop
July 6-10, 2010.
Venue: Toronto, Canada
Synopsis
Nigeria ranks 143 on the International Telecommunication Union index for 2017 while Canada ranks 29. This workshop brings telecommunication stakeholders in Nigeria together in a rare privilege with an advanced economy in this sector. We want to know how Canada has evolved and how to make concerted efforts to improve on telephony, service quality, security and safety in the telecommunications sector. There is a lot to learn from Canada’s highly impressive success story. The Canadian Safety Association, Structures, Tower and Antennas Council, STAC, Wireless Telecommunication providers, Consulting firms and Tower Inspection and maintenance Firms will be well represented at the workshop.
We hope to also establish networking and technical partnership during this workshop. Our target is to further close the gap in telecommunications service provision, safety records, infrastructural maintenance and others, between Nigeria and Canada. Another high point of this workshop is how to bring structural engineers who have been hitherto redundant in the telecommunication sector to the fore-front of design of both new installations, and modifications. We hope to find a drive for local content for Nigerian Structural engineers in the Telecommunication industry and encourage regulatory protection for this. Not of less importance is the objective of centralizing safety regulation in Telecommunication Infrastructural development in Nigeria. The uncontrolled operation has been a setback for many years.
The symposium and trip will feature; Presentations, Interactive sessions, Demonstrations, Software demonstrations, Exhibitions, Networking, and Tourist Attraction visits. It is going to be a lifetime experience and opportunity.
The workshop is for: policy makers, regulators, structural engineers, safety regulators and safety managers, safety harness and equipment dealers, materials and equipment standards regulators, builders, RF engineers, Telecommunication service providers, Tower Inspectors and Maintenance personnel, and all other stakeholders.
