Trust & Relevance
Elsa Hernández Manrique, P.Eng. , was also featured as part of the campaign. Originally from Mexico, Hernández Manrique worked on major construction projects before moving to Lethbridge in 2018. While adjusting to a new country and industry standards, she secured a role at Associated Engineering, which supported her through APEGA’s licensure process. After meeting all the licensure requirements, she became a professional engineer in 2024. Now, she mentors newcomers and volunteers with APEGA’s Lethbridge Branch, exemplifying how internationally trained engineers and geoscientists contribute to Alberta’s communities and economy.
Why is it so important? It’s to protect the public. APEGA’s function is to license professionals and check that we meet professional, ethical, and technical standards. So, that creates trust in the companies and the individuals practising engineering.” – Elsa Hernández Manrique, P.Eng.
