Objectives
Upon completion of the professional reliance module the participants

- The meaning of the term "professional reliance"
and how it fits into the overall forest policy framework.
- How the Forest and Range Practices Act (FRPA) relies on
the four professional acts?
- The general area of practice each profession fills on the
forestry team applying FRPA.
- What to expect from professionals?
- The role of employers, peers, subordinates and the public
in professional reliance.
- How to get more information about professional reliance?
Condition

FRPA Online Sessions), a copy of the Acts and regulations, access
to other materials on the FRPA Training Website and the websites
of each of the professional associations.

their day-to-day activities (and why) through professional reliance
in the application of FRPA.

participants to apply knowledge and build understanding through
local discussions and activities. Sessions will be delivered
to larger audiences of 70-100+ participants;
- Professional Reliance Session (FRPA Online Sessions)-for
clarification and building understanding. Sessions will focus
on pre-defined topic areas (e.g. addressing regional examples
or issues). Sessions will involve live presentations by experts
addressing questions submitted by participants prior to the
sessions, followed by live questions and answers with the
experts. Sessions will be delivered to smaller audiences of
10-20 participants with up to 20 locations connected to the
same session; and
