Each individual member or licensee applicant must write an essay (300-500 words) to demonstrate their understanding of how their professional practice will differ in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut from practice in other jurisdictions.
The essay may include specific examples related to the differences in the acts, codes, and laws in the other jurisdictions, and/or specific examples related to the difference in the environmental, social and geological setting of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. The essay may reference such topics as weather extremes, operating seasons, remote access, permafrost, climate change, land claims, community consultations, and wildlife and/or soil/vegetation impact sensitivity.
The essay should stress the potential effects these differences have on your professional practice, not what differences do exist.
