Pamela Nadin-Mcintyre was introduced to the importance of innovation and its role in business at a young age.
As a daughter of a Windsor tool and die business owner, she remembers watching her dad brainstorm and execute countless ideas to drive business and stay competitive.
Decades later and three provinces away, she is the innovation lead — in addition to safety, technical safety, and risk management — for Canada’s largest independent crude oil and natural gas producer, Canadian Natural Resources Limited (Canadian Natural).
“My dad’s the one who really helped push me in this direction,” says Nadin- McIntyre BASc ’86.
In addition to ensuring the right systems are in place to maintain the safety of people across Canadian Natural’s operations, she leads dedicated teams that are focused on improving the company’s environmental performance through technology and innovation. And for someone who is passionate about the environment, it’s more than just a job.

A team from the University of Windsor received top marks from the judges in the design review portion of the Canadian Satellite Design Challenge, in October in Quebec City.
The competition requires students to develop a satellite that can take a photo from space when commanded to do so by amateur radio operators around the world. It is intended to advance space education in Canada, inspiring students to pursue science and engineering educations and careers.
The satellites will undergo full launch and space environmental qualification testing, with the goal of launching the winning satellite into orbit.
In Quebec, teams conducted 2.5-hour presentations to a panel of industry experts.
