2. Abstract
It was an exciting busy and beautiful year overall. I developed my professional skills and
spared my time to serve my community (professional and social) as well. I think, if we
want to live in a peaceful, healthy and caring community we should partner for the
betterment.
I served as Chair for Education Outreach Committee, East Toronto Chapter (ETC) of
PEO where I helped students. I served as Director Of Licensure Assistance Program-PEO
where I helped trained engineers to get their P.Eng. As a member of executive board
of ETC-PEO I helped to organize, manage and conduct seminar. As President of
Chemical Engineering Graduate Students Association, Ryerson University I tried to bring
together student, staff and faculties. As executive member of Social Activities
Committee of Neil Wycik (NW), I helped to make policies and approve budgets for
events at NW.
I am hoping (wishing) an improved, productive and caring 2015.

3. Seminar: Renewable Energy Sources in Canada
To have energy security, improve air and water quality, and community development it is necessary to
search for alternative source of energy and look beyond fossil fuels. Canada has abundant
renewable resources including wind, solar, ocean and biomass energy. In order to best use of these
resources, it is needed to ensure that a mature and competitive renewable energy industry is
available. Fortunately, Canada has the expertise and technologies to produce energy from
renewable sources in the form of electricity, industrial heat, thermal energy for space and water
conditioning, and transportation fuels. Canada’s farms, forests and waste products are ideal for
producing sustainable renewable fuels. This talk will bring awareness to use renewable energies and
the challenges facing the further development of biomass renewable energy in Canada will be
discussed.
Presenter:
Khurram Shahzad Baig, P.Eng. Engineer Baig has over 10 years of experience in chemical and
environmental fields. Identifying renewable energy source and utilizing renewable energy is his
passion. He is a Ph.D. candidate in the department of Chemical Engineering (Renewable Energy) at
