Engineering Licensing Body Successfully
Protects the Integrity of Professional Seal
recently concluded opposition
proceedings under the Canadian Trademarks Act,
which resulted
in the withdrawal of a
third-party application for the mark for VIRTUAL CERTIFICATION
VIRTUELLE
123CERTIFICATION.COM ONLINE - EN LIGNE & Design. The design mark in
question was very similar to the
professional engineer’s seal used by licensed professional
engineers under authority of the Professional
Engineers Act. Under the Act, professional
engineers affix their seals to
all final drawings, specifications, plans, reports or other
documents they have prepared or
checked in the course of providing their professional
engineering services to the public.
The mark was advertised
for opposition in the Trademarks Journal and PEO subsequently filed
a statement of opposition
with the Registrar of Trademarks stating that the public would be
confused by the concurrent use
of the marks in
its opposition and
demonstrate that its seal had been used extensively and acquired significant
notoriety in
Once PEO served its
evidence, the applicant informed the Trademarks Office that it was
withdrawing its application.
PEO licenses
individuals to offer engineering
services to the public under Certificates of Authorization.
Under the Professional
Engineers Act, a valid Certificate of Authorization is required before
any individual or business
to provide professional engineering services to the public.
PEO also disciplines
professional engineers and firms that fail to maintain the profession’s
technical and ethical standards,
and prosecutes in the Courts those practising professional
engineering without a licence, or
using a term, title or designation that may lead others to
believe they are entitled to
practise.
Professional Engineers
Ontario administers the Professional Engineers Act
by licensing
professional engineers and setting
standards for and regulating engineering in
the public interest is
served and protected. Rigorously educated, experienced, and committed
to a Code of Ethics that
puts the public interest first, licensed professional engineers can be
identified by the P.Eng. after their names.

days and ordered to pay costs to Professional Engineers Ontario
(PEO) of $19,863.81,
after he was found in contempt of a previous Order of the
Ontario Superior Court of
Justice for violating the Professional Engineers Act.
The
previous Order was made by
the Honourable Justice Trafford on November 7, 1995.
Mr. Hafeez
is not, and has never been, licensed as a professional engineer in the
The
Honourable Madam Justice Sachs handed down the sentence in the
Superior Court of Justice at
reviewed affidavit evidence on behalf of the application by
PEO’s lawyers McCarthy
Tétrault, and heard evidence from Mr. Hafeez in person. She also heard submissions
from Mark Polley of the law firm of McCarthy Tétrault on behalf
of PEO and A.S. Leighl
on behalf of Mr. Hafeez.
The
application was brought after an investigation by PEO revealed that in the
spring
of 2000, Mr. Hafeez had described himself as a “structural
engineer” and an “engineer”
to clients and another person while working on a construction
project in the City of
using the title “professional engineer” or an abbreviation
or variation thereof as an
occupational or business designation; refrain from using a term,
title or description that
will lead to the belief that he may engage in the business of
professional engineering;
and surrender to the PEO any business cards, site signs, seals
or title blocks in his
possession containing the words “professional engineer”,
“engineer”, “engineering”, or
any abbreviation thereof.
The Court
also heard that Mr. Hafeez had previously been convicted on four separate
occasions of misrepresenting himself as “an engineer” while
working on various
projects in the Greater Toronto Area between April 1993 and
June 1998. Fines were
levied in the combined total of $85,000.
PEO
licenses

ABEC’s
News
On
the 29th of May, ABEC had its general meeting. During this period of
building and establishing our Association, our membership number surpassed 100
and we are still growing.
We
started an Insurance coverage Project and because it is in the process of
negotiations The Council asked the members for an extension of the mandate for
6 months, so that we can continue with the negotiations. It was approved from
the meeting.
We
are not doing well with collecting the membership fees and more commitment is
needed.
The
Membership cards were postponed with the idea to get first of all a sponsor, so
we can print somebody on the backside of the cards. We will work on that
matter, so hopefully we will have cards after we see the results from the
Insurance negotiations.
A
motion was made by Nikolay Paskalev to establish a Scholarship Award for the
Bulgarian High School Student with exceptional achievements. It was accepted
from the meeting, but was left for a better financial year in which to
implement.
The
database for the member’s engineering field list is going a little slow but
relatively well.
We
decided to try different places for meetings during the summer and we have a
Colleague who will happily do reconnaissance for “A picnic in the park”.
During
the meeting we discussed all of our projects and what kind of progress we were
making.
Some
employment opportunities and requirements were brought up during the meeting.
The
meeting adjourned at 3.00 p.m.
We
are very thankful to all of you who came to share with us your opinion and your
experience. We are trying to build a supportive and efficient Association, and
that can be done only together.

We received sad news that one of our own Colleague Mr. Tihomir Bochev past way recently. If anyone knows the address of his relatives, please send to us, we will send our condolences. I called and the answer was “the number is not in service”.

Uranium Production from |

This article deviates somewhat from the general theme of the
series in order to summarize an important facet of twentieth century history
that all began at Joachimsthal. Soon after World War II ended, the The Over a period of 45 years, WISMUT operated uranium mines in ten districts in Saxony and two
in Much of WISMUT’s early production came from a new vein camp that
was discovered in 1947 and developed as the Niederschlema-Alberoda and the
much smaller Oberschlema mines. They are 7 km and 6 km northeast of
Schneeberg, respectively, near the town of Schlema, where small deposits of
copper, cobalt, and silver had been mined much earlier and a radioactive
spring had been used to treat rheumatism since the 1920s. The mines closed in
1990 with the loss of 45,000 jobs. The deposit consists of an uncommon
assemblage that includes uraninite, sulphides, arsenides, tellurides, native
elements, and at least 20 rare selenium minerals (Förster et al., 2002,
2004). This assemblage occurs in a quartz, carbonate, and fluorite gangue
within hydrothermal veins that cut the contact aureole of peraluminous
granite plutons. Uranium is only present where the wall rocks are either
carbon-rich black shale or interlayers of geochemically different Ca-Mg-rich
volcanics and sediments of Ordovician to Devonian age. The orebody was mined
to a depth of 2000 metres by means of 50 shafts and 50 levels. About 40 per
cent of the total East German production (103,000 tonnes) came from
hydrothermal deposits (Diehl, 2004), of which about 83,500 tonnes were from
Niederschlema-Alberoda, along with about 1,470 tonnes of selenium ore with an
average grade of 0.52 per cent Se (Förster et al., 2002). About 45 per cent of the total East German production was
derived from the Lichtenberg deposit by means of a 240 meters deep open pit
and a shaft that reached an ultimate depth of 500 metres. This deposit,
located near Ronneberg, The post-war mining history in the present Shipments from Joachimsthal, a small mine by international
standards, to the Following a short
closure cause by the disruption of the radium market, the Eldorado mine in It is quite ironic that while Since 1968, some of the largest (up to 250,000 tonnes
U3O8) and richest (over 20 per cent U3O8) uranium deposits in the
world have been discovered within Canada’s Athabasca Basin, about 900 km
southeast of the Eldorado mine. The initial discoveries, made by mining
companies such as Compagnie de Mokta, the Dynamic Group, Gulf Minerals Canada
Ltd., Uranerz Exploration & Mining Ltd., Saskatchewan Mining Development
Corp., and Inexco Oil Ltd., were based on a geological model developed by
Mokta from its experience in |
