Kontur Sponsors and Participates in "Preparing for the Big One: Cascadia Megathrust Earthquake" Symposium
January 9, 2026
At Kontur, we believe that continuous learning and mentorship are essential drivers of innovation and long-term industry advancement. In support of this commitment, several members of our team recently attended the 3rd Symposium hosted by the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute – BC Chapter (EERI-BC) on December 11, 2025.
The symposium brought together a diverse group of professionals—including engineers, geoscientists, planners, government representatives, and academic researchers—to explore the theme ''Toward Resilience: Preparing for the Big One – Cascadia Megathrust Earthquake.'' Attendees gained valuable insights through keynote presentations, engaging panel discussions, and technical sessions focused on enhancing seismic resilience for critical infrastructure such as buildings, bridges, dams, and emergency response systems. Well attended and highly regarded, the symposium continues to play an important role in advancing best practices and strengthening seismic resilience across British Columbia. By encouraging our team to participate in forums like this, we support their growth as industry leaders and ensure that fresh perspectives and leading-edge knowledge inform the solutions we deliver to our clients. We are grateful to have supported this event as a sponsor and proud to contribute to initiatives that foster collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and progress within our industry.
