After becoming a landed immigrant and graduating, he joined the industry as a project engineer, working in a small Manitoba community. However, he gradually became convinced that his future lay in the civil service where he could contribute to the common good of his new home, and so in 1977 he joined the Ontario Ministry of Environment. A few years later he moved to British Columbia where he held several management and supervisory positions in the provincial Ministry of Environment, eventually becoming an assistant deputy minister.In 2004 Pradeep moved to the national level and became a regional director general for Environment Canada, first in Ontario and then in British Columbia. This was followed by a five-year posting as chief operating officer at the National Energy Board of Canada. He retired in 2013.Throughout his career, Pradeep has volunteered his time and services, both locally — he is past president of the India Club in Vancouver and the B.C. Water and Waste Association — and as an officer with the Water Environment Federation, a global organization dedicated to water quality. He has won several awards for his work on water quality.Pradeep is married to Chitra, and they have two children and two grand children. He is enjoying his family during retirement. In mid-2014 Pradeep was diagnosed with cancer, and as this book goes to press he is undergoing treatment with a strong determination to beat it.показать меньше
