ePEG Newsletter

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.

Continuing Professional Development requirements
Reporting CPD in Another Canadian Jurisdiction
As of August 24, APEGA registrants practicing engineering or geoscience whose home address is outside Alberta (but within Canada)—and who are registered with the regulator in the Canadian jurisdiction in which they reside—can submit a request directly in myAPEGA for an exception from APEGA’s continuing professional development requirements.

This change reflects the continued collaboration between all 12 Canadian engineering and geoscience regulators and Engineers Canada to improve interprovincial mobility. It removes unnecessary duplication in the professional development reporting process for licensed professionals registered in multiple jurisdictions across Canada.
