À propos du Comité sur le Patrimoine
Le Comité sur le patrimoine de la SCG est un forum qui incite le repérage et la conservation d’information visant des projets géotechniques canadiens d’importance réalisés dans le passé. Il ne procèdera pas à la conservation ou à l’archivage. Son but sera de donner de l’information, des conseils et des encouragements à ceux qui conserveront ou archiveront de tels projets.
Le Comité du Patrimoine de la SCG a besoin de vos archives historiques.

Activities - Upcoming/Ongoing/Planned
The Heritage Committee plans to continue activities such as updating the “Lives Lived” section of the Heritage Archives, documenting the history of the various regional chapters, and documenting important case histories. New initiatives include organizing a list of Terzaghi, Peck and Casagrande’s contributions to Canadian Geotechnique, and working with the CGS in the reorganization of the Heritage Archives.
Notable Achievements
The history of some of the Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary Sections has been compiled and published in CGS News. At the GeoVancover Conference in October of 2016, Committee Member Dr. Jacques Locat gave a keynote presentation on historic rock slides at Petit Champlain St. in Quebec City. The paper is available in the GeoVancouver proceedings.
