FOR COUNCIL Doug Cargill, P.Eng.
Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart. -Elizabeth Andrew Doug Cargill has at times lived by these words. He began his love for volunteering at a young age when he got involved with school yearbook committees in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. He went on to get his engineering degree at Lakehead University
From the time Doug made Alberta his home over a decade ago, he has been deeply involved in the community. He has volunteered on numerous boards and committees, including the APEGA Practice Review Board, the Alberta Summer Swimming Association, and Rhythmic Gymnastics Alberta. Doug and his wife are parents to two daughters. And besides carrying out the duties of dad/driver/repairman, there is no such thing as down time for Doug. When not engaged in daily engineering tasks, he is often out flying, vacationing, scuba diving, or even acrylic painting. In the spirit of giving, Doug has been an event photographer for both the Alberta Summer Swimming Association and Rhythmic Gymnastics Alberta at their regional and provincial competitions. In running for APEGA Council, Doug wants to contribute to create change. He wants to give his fellow professionals a voice. Doug wants APEGA to have more public recognition. He wants APEGA to be relevant to its Members. And he wants his fellow professionals to know what APEGA is doing for them. Doug has ideas. And he wants to help his fellow Councillors to develop their ideas. Together: we will make things happen!
