APEGA celebrates the trailblazers who are overcoming resistance and clearing a path for those who follow. | |  | Engineering Standards Are Not Red Tape | An engineer educated and trained abroad lands in Alberta—how quickly can they put their experience to use? Not quickly enough, according to a recent opinion column in the Calgary Herald. The concern is understandable—internationally trained professionals are essential to Alberta’s future, and every step in the licensing process should serve a clear public-interest purpose. However, an important distinction is missing from that column: Alberta is efficiently welcoming talent and protecting the public at the same time. |
|  | Geoscientists Canada: Feedback Request | Geoscientists Canada (GC) works with provincial and territorial regulators to establish the requirements and processes to become licensed professional geoscientists in Canada. As part of a current review, GC is collecting feedback from key stakeholders in industry and government. GC encourages organizations to have a representative familiar with their professional geoscientists' work complete the survey below.
If you would like to provide input that will be used to inform changes to the academic requirements used to assess and admit professional geoscientists, please complete the survey before October 16.
