A word of thanks

The Canadian GeoExchange Coalition spent over 18 months developing four original Canada-appropriate courses based on CSA standards and current best practices.  For commissioning the work and for consistently believing in a united and professional industry, we thank one of this industry’s best friends, the Government of Canada’s Department of Natural Resources.  For their hard work and substantial contribution to industry growth, we would like to thank the following individuals and organisations which have contributed to the many rounds of materials development in one or all of the four course subject areas.  The course materials you are holding would not have been possible without their dedication and help, and we thank them.
