Overview

Land and Water Resources Diploma

The Land and Water Resources (LWR) Diploma program at Northern Lights College prepares students to effectively conserve and repair disturbed land and riparian zones and monitor water quality and quantity. 

The program's main focus is the reclamation of sites disturbed by industrial development and activity and the regulations for reclaiming such sites, as per the BC Oil and Gas Commission and relevant government bodies.

Employment opportunities are primarily concentrated in the oil and gas sector, with some opportunities in mining, forestry, independent environmental consulting firms, First Nation band offices, and municipalities.  

As resource companies strive to meet government guidelines and industry best practices, this field of work will continue to grow across western Canada.  

Travel and fieldwork are regular features of careers within this industry.

This program is offered on even years.
