Message from the President
Sometimes, in our lives or careers, it’s necessary to pivot so we can reach our goals. Organizations, including APEGA, are no different. We must be agile, nimble, and ready to adapt to meet the inevitable changes, challenges—and of course opportunities—that come our way. As such, agility, nimbleness, and adaptation are key principles of sustainability and relevance for any organization. They underpin how APEGA works with our registrants, permit holders, and other key stakeholders to meet our mandate to protect the public by proactively regulating the practices of engineering and geoscience. They are also principles that guided APEGA through a year marked by significant change. It was a year when we were reminded that change is expected and necessary to align with society’s evolving expectations and to drive innovation and growth in our province. Some of these changes will shape engineering and geoscience regulation for years to come. software engineering from title protection are driving how we must adjust how to provide practice enforcement and compliance. • A separate court case and resulting appeal could affect how all protected engineering titles can be used in Alberta, and possibly the rest of Canada. • Amendments to the Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act exempting • Preparatory work continues for expected changes to our governing legislation through the anticipated Professional Governance Act . • Stakeholder engagement and development are underway on a revised mandatory Continuing Professional Development Program.
