This year the Certified Technicians and Technologists Association of Manitoba (CTTAM) will be
celebrating a significant milestone of 50 years! For the past 50 years, CTTAM’s members have played a
vital role within engineering and applied science industries in Manitoba.
Founded in October of 1965 as MANSCETT (Manitoba Society of Certified Engineering Technicians
and Technologist) W.A. Habington, the Associations’ first elected president, represented a membership
of 39. Today, CTTAM membership has grown to over 3200 members. Impressive!
The office has expanded from one employee in 1975 to four in 2015. While CTTAM is managed by the
Executive Director it also includes a Registrar, two administrative staff and a large volunteer base. It is
critical to acknowledge that CTTAM would not be able to function without the volunteers who form the
various committees beginning with the leadership and vision of the Board of Directors as well as the
eight standing committees.
We are excited to announce CTTAM’s 50th Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Anniversary Events
scheduled for November 6 and 7, 2015. We will be celebrating this milestone in the company of old and
new acquaintances, exploring our past, present and future as we listen to the wisdom of our great
keynote speakers.
Friday’s event, hosted by the Young Leaders Committee, will be located at the Assiniboine Park Zoo,
Journey to Churchill facility. It will mark the launch of CTTAM’s new Mentorship Program which will
focus on guiding CTTAM’s newest members to success, mentored by those experiencing it firsthand.
The Mentorship Keynote Speaker, Priti Shah B.A., LLB., C. Med., will be discussing the importance of
mentors and how it has impacted her professional and personal journey.
Saturday’s events include the 50th AGM and culminate with the 50th Anniversary Gala Dinner, both
located at the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada. We will have the opportunity to celebrate
newly certified members as well as acknowledge the accomplishments of our membership from a crosssection of areas and experience. We are really excited to announce the Gala Keynote Speaker, Michelle
Dagnino, Generational Change Expert, an international speaker who specializes in multi-generations in
the workforce.
This is going to be a great event and what better opportunity to acknowledge the contributions of your
fellow technicians and technologists! CTTAM needs your assistance in making that happen. In the next
three months CTTAM will be sending emails to the membership requesting members, employers, and
co-workers to nominate outstanding individuals within engineering and applied science industries in
Manitoba.
CTTAM is committed to celebrating technicians and technologists who have made an impact and the
50th Anniversary is a perfect venue to do so. It is our hope that you will join us in celebrating CTTAM’s
Past, Present and Future!.the Next 50 Years!

Pedestrian Countdown Signals
By the City of Winnipeg, Transportation Division
P
road users such as children, the elderly and
mobility-challenged pedestrians.
How to Use the
Pedestrian Countdown Signal
· The countdown will start when
the LEAVE CURB signal display ends
and the FLASHING HAND signal
display begins.
· The countdown will continue
throughout the Flashing HAND and
will reach zero when the flashing
HAND becomes a solid HAND display.
Pedestrians should not enter the
crosswalk after the PCS or the Flashing
HAND DISPLAY has already started.
Pedestrians should always watch for
motorists who are turning right or left
across their crosswalk.
If you would like to nominate an individual to be showcased on a
story board, please email [email protected] with a brief description
of the nominee.
Deadline for nominations is Friday, August 21, 2015.
Sincerely,
Michelle Amigo, C.E.T.
Chair, Young Leaders Committee
Is there a benefit to motorists?
Countdown timers are designed to
provide pedestrians with more information when crossing the street. PCS, along
with all Flashing Hand displays, are not
designed to provide motorists with
information related to the amount of
green time remaining.
T E C H N O L O G I S T
In celebration of CTTAM’s 50th Anniversary, the Young Leaders Committee
will be preparing story boards of CTTAM members showcasing career
highlights for display at the Young Leaders event (Journey to Churchill)
on November 6, and the Gala Dinner (Royal Western Aviation Museum)
on November 7.

M A N I T O B A
How the PCS time is determined
The starting time on the PCS and the Flashing
Hand display is a calculation of the time it
would take for a pedestrian to cross the street
based on the crossing distance and a walking
speed between 3.0 and 4.0 feet per second.
As crosswalk distances can vary from intersection to intersection and within the same
intersection, the Flashing Hand display or PCS
starting time may not necessarily be the same
for all crosswalks within the same intersection
or from one intersection to the next.
T H E
edestrian Countdown
Signals are intended to
provide pedestrians with
more information to assist
them in their decisionmaking process when crossing a street.
The PCS is a numeric countdown display
mounted below the existing pedestrian
signal (walking figure/flashing hand/
solid hand) that indicates the number of
seconds remaining for a pedestrian to
complete the crossing.
Pedestrians and motorists frequently
misinterpret the meaning of the pedestrian
displays. The Flashing Hand symbol is
commonly misinterpreted to mean that
the pedestrian should stop crossing the
street. In fact, this display means that
pedestrians that are already crossing a
street, should continue crossing the street,
but if a pedestrian has not yet started to
cross the street, should not begin crossing
as there may not be enough time to safely
finish crossing the street before the traffic
signals change. PCS clarify this meaning by
displaying the remaining time available to
pedestrians to cross the street.
The use of PCS in other jurisdictions has
been shown to reduce pedestrian confusion
and uncertainty regarding the meaning
and timing of pedestrian signals and has
provided particular benefit to vulnerable

whatif you didn’t show up for work tomorrow?
Yes
No
Did you die?
Win the lottery?
Did you have
Term Life Insurance from
the Engineers Canadasponsored program?
Yes
Yes
No
No
Let’s talk
retirement planning.
Good thinking.
Term Life typically
offers the most
coverage for the
least cost.
Just not feeling it?
Did you have
any group
benefits from
your employer?
Yes, I think so.
Weekends aren’t
long enough.
Not that I’m aware of.
Will that pay for your
family’s needs: debts,
mortgage, children’s
education, etc., etc.?
Uhhh… let
me check
my pocket
calculator.
I never actually read
that document.
We have a
handy one online
so you can see just
how valuable you are
to your family.
Usually, they only
cover 1-2 times your
annual income.
We offer coverage
up to $1.5 million.
Okay, but
don’t burn
your bridges.
Did you at least
have mortgage
insurance?
Yes, I think so.
Never got around to it.
Well, that’s a relief
but in your next life,
you may want to
consider that Term Life
is a more efficient way
of covering a mortgage.
Don’t panic.
This was all just a bad
dream. Visit our
website to learn more
about the exclusive
Term Life plan.
See why over 80,000 of your peers have chosen the Engineers Canada-sponsored Term Life Insurance Plan.
