College Diploma - Integrated Resource Management
Saskatchewan’s natural resources are rich and varied—fisheries, forests, wildlife and park areas. Integrated resource management (IRM) takes a balanced approach to managing these resources. The focus is on sustainability and stewardship.
Integrated resource management practitioners are analytic thinkers who combine a knack for science with a love of the outdoors. It’s an excellent career choice if students want to play a role in sustainable silviculture (forestry management), fisheries (fish farms) or park management.
Integrated Resource Management is a two-year diploma program that gives students a unique perspective on balancing the environmental, economic and social factors of natural resource development. The program emphasizes hands-on learning through labs, camps, field exercises and work experience. Students learn how to collect and analyze data, enforce regulations and monitor resource use. Students develop knowledge and skill in:
- • Air-photo use and interpretation
- • Applying Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to resource management situations
- • Applying statistics to resource management problems
- • Fish, wildlife, forestry and parks management
- • Implementing quality control
- • Mapping, compassing and remote sensing
- • Operating and maintaining vehicles, boats and all-terrain vehicles
- • Research design, analysis and technical reporting
- • Surviving in the wilderness
Students will graduate with hands-on experience and receive additional certificates in First Aid, ATV and snowmobile operation, etc. that make them job ready. Field camps are a popular part of Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Natural Resources programs. Saskatchewan Polytechnic has their own outdoor camp on the north side of Candle Lake. Students will spend three weeks here in the fall learning a variety of hands-on skills. Students return for winter camp to learn about winter ecology and outdoor survival. Students will also participate in a unique grasslands camp in southern Saskatchewan.
Career choices for Integrated Resource Management graduates are excellent. Students could work as a fish and wildlife technician, forestry technician, plant specialist or park ranger across Western and Northern Canada. Students might work for conservation authorities, First Nation communities, forestry companies, exploration and resource companies, government agencies, municipalities, private contractors and many more.
College Diploma - Resource and Environmental Law
From forestry to tourism, from First Nations to park users—many people enjoy Saskatchewan’s natural resources. There are laws and environmental policies in place to ensure the long-term sustainability of fisheries, forests and wildlife. Students who want to play an active role in ensuring these laws are respected will enjoy the Resource and Environmental Law program. It’s a career that demands a strong belief in what students are doing, a good understanding of human behaviour and excellent communication skills.
Resource and Environmental Law is a two-year diploma program that specializes in conservation and environmental law enforcement. Students will develop solid skills in environmental protection, enforcement and investigation. Students will learn about:
- • Indigenous resource rights
- • Canadian criminal justice system
- • Control tactics
- • Courtroom procedures
- • Environmental and field investigations
- • Environmental legislation and compliance
- • Environmental sampling
- • Investigative techniques
- • Park services and enforcement
- • Wildlife and fisheries management
Hands-on learning is key. Students will augment classroom learning with lab exercises, simulated field investigations, outdoor camps and work experience. Students will work with trainers from different government agencies, participate in ride-alongs and more.
Field camps are a popular part of Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Natural Resources programs. Saskatchewan Polytechnic has their own outdoor camp on the north side of Candle Lake. Students will spend three weeks here in the fall learning a variety of skills. Students will return for winter camp to learn about working in arduous outdoor conditions. Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s excellent camp facilities give students first-hand experience working in the outdoors, from learning how to pull boats over for compliance checks in the summer to ice rescue in the winter.
Because jobs in environmental law enforcement can be physically demanding, Saskatchewan Polytechnic puts Resource and Environmental Law students through the same fitness test as new RCMP recruits.
Resource and Environmental Law graduates can choose from a variety of career options. Work in the field as a conservation officer; environmental protection officer; park warden; or fishery, forestry or wildlife officer. Potential employers include environmental agencies, federal and provincial parks, natural resource companies, First Nation communities, even border services or law enforcement agencies.
