CALGARY The University of Calgary has suspended admission for its oil and gas engineering bachelor program amidst a downturn in Canada’s energy sector and a transition towards a more renewable future. In fact, enrollment for the program has hit an all-time low with only about 10 students registered over the course of the last two years. Those existing students will still be able to complete their studies, but Prof. Arin Sen, head of the department of chemical and petroleum engineering said the university has no intention to abandon oil and gas studies. “This wasn’t a decision that we made lightly and we certainly had a lot of engagement, but we had a lot of decline in the demand,” Sen said.

The eight will be ordained Deacon by the Bishop of Carlisle, the Right Rev James Newcome. Covid restrictions mean a smaller affair than might otherwise have been expected, but each candidate will be able to have 10 family members and supporters attending on the day. The service at 2.30pm today (Saturday) will also be live streamed on both the Diocese of Carlisle and Carlisle Cathedral Facebook pages. The group includes four health care professionals, a data analyst expert, a BBC Radio Cumbria presenter, a church pioneer worker and a multi-linguist. Seven will be self-supporting ministers (unsalaried) whilst the eighth will serve as a stipendiary (salaried) curate.
