Effective Professional Communication: A Rhetorical Approach

698 p.Welcome to Effective Professional Communication, your text book for the RCM 200 course at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. As you already know, this course focuses on communicating in professional environments. Even if you haven’t held a job before, you know–at least on a basic level–that how you communicate changes depending on the context of your situation; specifically, you talk differently when you speak to customers/clients versus your co-workers versus your supervisors. Our goal in this text is to break down the communication process in professional environments so you can maximize your chance to get hired and retain your job once you graduate from university. We will do this by looking at communication through political, rhetorical, ethical, and interpersonal lenses and applying this knowledge to your future career

Vermilion River Water Supply and Demand Study

The goal of the Vermilion River Water Supply and Demand Study was to support the Vermilion River Watershed Management Project by integrating and assessing existing hydrologic information in the VRB, generating new knowledge on hydrologic functions in the basin, and developing tools to support water resources planning and management in the basin.

Mayatan Lake Watershed Management Plan

This plan serves as advice to Parkland County, the Government of Alberta, the Mayatan Lake Management Association and all watershed stakeholders to guide future decision-making in their respective areas of responsibility and interest. It identifies specific actions that should be implemented, describes the roles and responsibilities of the various players to do so, and presents an implementation strategy based on both voluntary and statutory activities. A wide range of land and water characteristics may be considered in the development of lake and watershed management plans. Several key factors are discussed in this report.

Municipal Guide: Planning for a Healthy and Sustainable North Saskatchewan River Watershed

The health of every community, whether rural or urban or small or large, depends on the health of the watershed in which it resides. Watersheds supply a number of goods and services that are intricately linked to economic health, the health of residents and overall community health. In Alberta, current lifestyles and the economic activity that maintains these lifestyles depend on the availability of reliable quantities of clean water. (As cited in introduction.

Vermilion River Aquatic Ecosystem Assessment

The Vermilion River is a small, slow-moving mud-bottom prairie river in Alberta. Except for the lowest reach, the river ceases to flow in mid to late summer, which dictates many ecosystem processes. This study reports poor macroinvertebrate FBI score, which shows the Vermilion River to be an unhealthy system, which is consistent with the widespread degradation of riparian areas and wetlands. Aquatic ecosystem health is much improved near the mouth of the Vermilion River due to the presence of physical habitat diversity, improved hydraulic connectivity with the regional fish species pool (i.e., the North Saskatchewan River), and improved water quality.
