About the Author

The author is in the process of retiring as a sessional instructor at Mount Royal University after 15 years and over 100 courses.  One of those courses was called Regulatory Management which is a fourth year course of the BSc degree in Environmental Science.  Retirement is a process, you can’t really quit cold turkey, so this book is an attempt to capture many things learned over that career of teaching about regulations, compliance and professional responsibilities.

The author was involved in the oil and gas industry for many years working principally in Alberta, but also British Columbia and the Northwest Territories.  The author was responsible for remediation programs and compliance programs predominately in the upstream sector, but also worked in the downstream sector as well.  This work required the author to become familiar with regulatory environment of Canada.
