Interesting photo found in the vault………Look at all the smiles. You too could have as much fun as these whipper snappers did.
Remember to sign up for the John Ross ASAP so you dont miss out on your opportunity to reach the same level of greatness as these past champions.
Tom & I would like to thank everyone from the chapter for another fantastic Student Night. There have been many positive comments coming back from both the UofA, and NAIT students. Please remember that the Student Activities Comittee will be in contact with these students, so if you are in need of an up-and-coming HVAC’er please feel free to contact us and we will be sure to pass this message along to the students.
Annually the local chapter hands out copies of the ASHRAE Pocket Guide to our student members. This pocket sized book has a ton of information within its pages. Every year these books are distributed courtesy of the Don Holte Endowment Fund. As a legacy of his service to our chapter and the ASHRAE Society at large, this fund was set up. Wita Holte has directed our chapter to provide direct benefit to HVAC students from it, as Don was a large supporter of students in our industry.
Congratulatons to Taylor Wight as this year’s ASHRAE NAC Scholarship recipient. Taylor is a currently a student at the U of A. Keep up the hard work Taylor, and we look forward to seeing you at more ASHRAE events.
Please make these students feel welcome at upcoming events. Your kind words and friendly faces have helped make these folks feel welcome, and hopefully, will become familiar faces for years to come.
As this year’s Membership Promotion Chair, I would like to personally thank each one of our chapter’s Members, Associate, Affiliate, and Student Members for their continued dedication to ASHRAE, as well as to invite those of you who are not yet members to sign up!
There are many advantages to becoming a member–both at the Society level and the Chapter level. To quote from the Society web site’s Membership page:
Membership in ASHRAE allows access to information about state-of-the-art HVAC&R technology and provides many opportunities to participate in the development of that technology. Participation is available locally, through chapters, and through membership on Society committees, such as standards projects committees, which are responsible for the development of standards, and technical committees which advise the Society on research needs, emerging technologies, and technical matters.
By becoming a member you will receive this year’s ASHRAE handbook (one of four recurring topics), a subscription to the ASHRAE Journal, and discounts on training and seminars. As a Chapter member you will receive reduced rates on local events and dinner meetings, direct email notification about local chapter events, and the monthly Northern Alberta Chapter newsletter–Nic-Nacs.
I would also like to point out that it’s a great time to upgrade your current membership from Associate, Affiliate, or Student to full Member status. If you would like more information on the process, please email me directly and I would be glad to help you out. You may also contact anyone on our Board of Governors through our Contact Us page at any time.
More information on membership can be found at the ASHRAE society’s membership website.
I’m looking forward to another successful year of ASHRAE in Northern Alberta!
Thank you very much.

Are you interested in helping out young up and coming members that are looking to break into the HVAC profession?
NAIT has a strong history of supplying local companies with HVAC professionals. Over the past few years our chapter has been active in reaching out to these students as well as the mechanical engineering students at the U of A. The past couple of years the U of A has put together a program that specifically deals with the Building Sciences industry. This elective course is full of students who are hoping to enter the Building Sciences field upon graduation. NAIT currently supplies our industry form a few separate programs. We will once again be speaking to many of these students this year.
Here is where you come in. We would like to offer you the opportunity to help out these students and be recognized. For each student that is sponsored we will recognize this contribution with a sticker on the inside of the student fundamentals book that will be presented to them. As well each student sponsor will be recognized to the local membership.
After several discussions, we are asking the Northern Alberta Membership to sponsor these students. Many of these students understand what is out there but do not truly realise the benefit of membership. Having a student membership allows these students to access numerous technical resources, be part of technical committees helping to shape our technology, and be informed of the daily in and outs of our industry. As well these students and potential employees will be encouraged to walk among us at our monthly meetings and various social events.
Currently we are looking to have these students membership fees covered and a copy of the current ASHRAE Fundamentals provided to these students for use in their studies.
This sponsorship opportunity is just $75 but will mean so much more to an up and coming HVAC student as well as our chapter..
Members of the Student Activities Committee will be contacting people shortly.
