ABSTRACT: In 2010, the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) initiated a project to develop Canadian technical landslide guidelines and best practices. Between 2011 and early 2014, assisted by more than 60 landslide professionals, the GSC completed and released nine of the 11 chapters of this document as separate GSC Open File publications. They were made available on the GSC website. Review comments were encouraged and received from both the national the international landslide communities. At the present time, the chapters are being revised, updated and compiled into a GSC Bulletin-series publication. Canadian Technical Landslide Guidelines and Best Practices related to Landslides: a national initiative for loss reduction is expected to be available in English later in 2014, and in French shortly thereafter.
RÉSUMÉ: En 2010, la Commission géologique du Canada (CGC) a lancé un projet visant à élaborer des lignes directrices et les meilleures pratiques canadiennes en matière de glissements de terrain. Entre 2011 et début 2014, avec l'aide de plus de 60 professionnels de glissements de terrain, la CGC a terminé et publié neuf des 11 chapitres de ce document sous forme de dossiers publics de la CGC. Ils ont été mis à la disposition de tous sur le site Web de la CGC. Les communautés nationale et internationale en matière de glissements de terrain international ont été sollicitées et ont fournis des commentaires critiques constructifs. À l'heure actuelle, les chapitres sont en cours de révision, mis à jour et compilés dans une publication de la série Bulletin de la CGC. Canadian Technical Landslide Guidelines and Best Practices related to Landslides: a national initiative for loss reduction devrait être disponible en anglais plus tard en 2014, et en français peu de temps après.
