The ePEG is a bi-weekly digital newsletter that keeps you informed about developments in Alberta’s engineering and geoscience professions, the achievements of APEGA registrants who move the needle, and professional development opportunities across
the province. For APEGA registrants, the ePEG also shares branch-specific updates and events that are happening in your community.
APEGA automatically subscribes new registrants to the ePEG newsletter. If you are an APEGA registrant and aren’t receiving the ePEG, please log in to myAPEGA, select "update my profile," and edit your communication preferences. You can also re-subscribe using the form on this page.

|  | Delivering Projects Under Pressure | In today’s professions, companies face unprecedented pressure from clients seeking accelerated project timelines and price certainty. If not managed correctly, fast-tracking project deliveries and providing "value" engineering services could lead to costly claims. |
