Branches
In communities across Alberta, our 10 volunteer-run branches help build public trust in our professions and stronger connections with APEGA registrants.
Whether visiting schools for student outreach or organizing networking events, luncheons, or professional development webinars, the branches advance APEGA’s strategic goals and enhance professional regulation at a local level. Engaging with registrants Bringing people together was a priority for branches in 2023. Of the 92 registrant events hosted by branches—almost two events per week— 72 were in person, including: • five industry tours, from the new Agri-food Hub & Trade Centre in Lethbridge to the newly reopened astronomical observatory at the University of Alberta Engaging with students Branch volunteers returned to schools to hold Science Nights and Science Olympics events. From building two-stage rockets to squishy circuits and biodegradable plastic, students learned how engineers and geoscientists find solutions to improve our world. More than 2,400 students attended 24 outreach events. On average, that’s about one event every two weeks!
