SEIMA

What SEIMA does

SEIMA (legal name: Saskatchewan Environmental & Industry Managers Association) is a non-profit professional association incorporated in 1994 in Saskatchewan, Canada, with a registered office in Saskatoon and a seven-person operating team. The association's purpose is to facilitate the exchange of environmental knowledge and ideas among stakeholders in Saskatchewan's environmental industry, bringing together companies and individuals from mining, agriculture, forestry, and government alongside environmental consultants and product/service providers. It operates on a membership-based model with two tiers — voting standard membership and non-voting student membership — supplemented by event participation fees and SustainTech conference sponsorship and registration revenue.

The association's flagship commercial and community asset is the annual SustainTech™ Conference, which addresses sustainability issues across the lifecycle of Saskatchewan's principal resource sectors including agriculture, mining, and oil and gas. SustainTech 2026 was held as a two-day sold-out event with 339 registrants, 24 sponsor booths, and 32+ technical sessions. Beyond the conference, SEIMA delivers year-round programming including webinars, member mixers held in both Saskatoon and Regina, an email newsletter, a member directory, a job board, and an annual general meeting for member governance.

SEIMA is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors drawn from industry, academia, and the public sector, with current representation from Government of Saskatchewan, AtkinsRéalis, Thurber Engineering Ltd., Trace Associates, GHD, MLT Aikins LLP, Geosyntec Consultants, Shell, Clifton, and the City of Saskatoon. Distribution is primarily regional and direct: a self-serve member portal at seima.member365.com, in-person events across Saskatchewan, and direct member communication. The association does not develop proprietary technology products and operates without subsidiaries, a parent entity, or external funding rounds.

Broad incumbents

• Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC): National association for the mineral exploration sector with a major annual convention. Comparable as an environmental-touching resource-sector association in Canada, though exploration-focused and much larger than SEIMA.
• ECO Canada: Canada's national environmental workforce and certification body, representing a much broader scope. Comparable as an environmental sector professional convener, though operating nationally rather than provincially.

Regional players

• Saskatchewan Mining Association: Provincial mining industry association in Saskatchewan covering a major SEIMA member segment. Comparable as a Saskatchewan-based non-profit industry association, though focused solely on mining rather than cross-sector environmental practice.
• Mining Association of Canada (MAC): National industry association representing mining companies on environmental, social, and regulatory matters. Comparable overlap with SEIMA's mining-segment membership, but operating nationally and on the industry side rather than the cross-sector side.

Others

• Canadian Environmental Law Association (CELA): Ontario-based environmental law and policy advocacy organization. Comparable as a non-profit environmental organization in Canada, but with a legal/policy advocacy mission rather than SEIMA's industry-networking focus.

Direct peers

• British Columbia Environment Industry Association (BCEIA): BC's equivalent environmental industry association promoting networking, policy engagement, and member education. Comparable to SEIMA as a provincial trade body with similar member-driven mission.
• Alberta Environmental Industry Association (AEIA): Alberta's provincial environmental industry association convening industry, consultants, and regulators. Directly comparable to SEIMA in structure, mission, and cross-stakeholder model, just operating in a larger neighbouring province.
