Happy November! I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of the volunteer committee members who have been organizing the CSEG social events over the past year: I know first-hand how difficult it can be executing an event in an economic downturn in the oil patch, and am impressed with how well everyone (volunteers and those companies who continue to sponsor) has pitched in to make each experience worthwhile.
Save the Date: CSEG Doodlespiel
On behalf of the 2016 Doodlespiel Committee, I would like to invite you to the 44th annual CSEG Doodlespiel. As Chairman of this year’s Doodlespiel committee I am excited to promote and participate in the 44th Doodlespiel to be held in Banff, Alberta January 22nd – 24th, 2016. The committee is already working to ensure that this year’s event will carry on the success and traditions of past Doodlespiels.
The mandate of the Doodlespiel is to bring our industry members together promoting fellowship and competition in a unique, fun and social setting. It’s my belief that the Doodlespiel is one of the best social events our industry offers, and without the continued support of participants and sponsors the event wouldn’t be possible.
We would like to encourage participants to be present for door prizes and dinner on Friday night after registration. Cash prizes will be handed out for the team with the best costumes/team spirit.
Additional information regarding host hotels, schedule of events, draw, rules and regulations, registration and sponsorship information will be posted to the website www.doodlespiel.com when available. See you in January!
Matt Ng, Doodlespiel Chair

2016 Ski Spree: Registration Information
The CSEG Ski Spree committee would like to invite you and your family to the 49th Annual CSEG Family Ski Spree in Fairmont, B.C. to be held from February 19th – 21st, 2016! Your family will reconnect with old friends and make some new ones on this fun filled weekend! These are the memories that all families will cherish for years to come. The weekend begins with age appropriate events for everyone including games, crafts, scavenger hunts and the prestigious Grand Prix. Saturday sees everyone on the hill with ski and snowboard races for all ages and skill levels and for the younger ones there is an obstacle course and a snow snake hunt. Remember that you don’t need to race to join in the on-hill festivities. At the end of the day unwind in the Hot Springs before the Grand Family dinner.
The CSEG Family Ski Spree is an extremely popular event in the Geophysical Industry with nearly 400 attendees every year, so don’t miss your chance and reserve your spot by ensuring you do the following:
- Registration is on a first come first serve basis so send it in as soon as possible.
- Hotel Reservations will be made by the committee, on your behalf. Please ensure you include your room reservation requests with your application.
- Previous year’s room allocations are held until January 15, 2016. For those looking to upgrade their current room, the earlier you register, the better the chances of obtaining one of the handful of special rooms that become available.
Mark your calendars as this is a family event you don’t want to miss!

WiSe 2015 Results!
15th Annual WiSe (Women in Seismic) golf tournament was a resounding success!
On behalf of the WiSe committee I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge THANK YOU to all who donated prizes, Fox Hollow golf course, the WiSe committee, as well as the wonderful ladies who participated in the event this year. We also are extremely grateful for the participation of our Tournament Sponsors: Copyseis, Investors Group, Seitel, Crescent Point, Divestco, ARC Resources, Sigma Explorations, the CSEG Executive, Signature Seismic, Santos, Edge Technologies, Katalyst, Pulse, Explor, Earth Signal, Ionex, Iron Mountain and Tesla. We appreciate your continuing support over the last 15 years and look forward to many more!!
The day could not have been more perfect with the sunny weather and the fantastic energy from all the ladies.
This year’s theme was Superheroes... Fighting Cancer for 15 years. And in true form the gals were all decked out in costume. For the prestigious Sean Callaghan Spirit Award, it came down to a tie breaking consensus from the audience. Congratulations to team Ninja Turtles.
75 ladies participated in the tournament. Even with the down turn in the economy, the event was able to raise over $12,000 for ACF (Alberta Cancer Foundation – breast and ovarian cancer). This is an amazing accomplishment and shows people’s commitment to not only this networking event but also to its charity.
We hope to see you out next year. Mark your calendars for September 8th, 2016.
Sincerely, Trish Mulder, 2015 Women in Seismic Chair
