Event Dates:   September 16, 2013

This is a one-day, hands-on field course guided by Robin Arthurs, ALS and Scott Westlund, ALS. This course will be very informative for all ALSs but is specifically targeted for ALSs with up to ten years of experience. Articled students are welcome to attend with their principal.
 
On the tour, we will visit several different types of monuments to discuss monument identification, evidence evaluation, restoration, field notes, searching techniques and Bulletin 38. We will also equip you with the tools you need to set up a similar tour for your field staff and/or clients.
 
We will be driving between monuments, but there is some walking involved. Please wear sturdy footwear and weather appropriate clothing (we will go on the tour rain or shine). A bag lunch, water and snacks will be provided.
 
Due to limitations on the number of people allowed in the vehicle, a maximum of ten people can attend per day.
 
You will want to attend this tour if:
  • -You would like to look at survey monuments that you might not have seen.
  • -You are interested in learning about monument identification, restoration, evidence evaluation and searching techniques from an ALS with more than 40 years of field experience.
  • -You want to set up a similar tour for your field staff and are looking for a template to follow.
  • -You want some suggestions for how to get field staff to record better information in your field notes.
  • -You are interested in how monuments are shown on legal plans and how more information might assist everyone.
  • -You are interested in how boundary uncertainties are created/resolved by restoring monuments.
  • -You would like to spend a relaxing day in the field with other ALSs.
 
The van departs at 9:00 am. each day. Please meet in the parking lot at the intersection of 37th Street SW and Highway 22 in south west Calgary (50° 53' 32.9” N, 114° 8' 26.6” W).
