2025 Annual Conference - What's in your Toolbox?

We wish to thank all our attendees, speakers, exhibitors and sponsors for the amazing conference, on October 29 and 30, 2025. From conversations about BMPs, installation issues and entertaining stickers, to learning about new products, collaboration, and career growth possibilities, it was so energizing to see everyone engaged and expanding their toolboxes.

Feel free to review the session descriptions, gather contact information for sponsors and exhibitors, and shortlist which recordings you want to see by visiting the conference website (hosted on Pheedloop):

Online BC CESCL Courses

The BC-CESCL is designed to help practitioners understand how to manage erosion and sediment control on their construction projects and understand their obligations under government legislation. Although it most relevant for the "boots on the ground" site personnel and new ESC professionals, site monitors often take the course and benefit from expanding their knowledge. The two-day course and exam covers erosion and sedimentation processes, regulatory requirements, understanding erosion and sediment control plans, best management practices, inspections, and record-keeping.

Please note this course is not designed to develop knowledge and skills in ESC plan design and it does not make someone a Qualified Environmental Professional under the Professional Reliance Act.

2025-2026 Course Dates

Specific dates for future 2026 course dates will be announced in early 2026.

May 2026 BC CESCL Date TBA
September 2026 BC CESCL Date TBA
September 2026 BC CESCL Recertification Date TBA
