The PEG Magazine, now yourPEG
The PEG is the official publication of APEGA, published online for members and other stakeholders. A weekly electronic newsletter called the ePEG complements The PEG.
The PEG has been a fixture of APEGA since our earliest days. It has taken many forms, aligning itself with the information-consumption trends we have seen in our readership and the publishing industry as a whole. Created originally as a newsletter, it transitioned to a newspaper in 1969 and then to a glossy magazine in 2010. In 2017, as magazine publishing as a whole transitioned to a more digital world, The PEG ceased print production and became a totally digital magazine, but still with a layout reminiscent of a magazine.
In our centennial year, we are reimagining The PEG once again, this time as a section of the APEGA website, called yourPEG. It’s still in the early stages, but we’re proud of its progression and the initial feedback we’ve received has been positive.
yourPEG will continue to feature news and articles about things our members care about, such as:
- APEGA's regulatory work on behalf of the public and members
- APEGA's services and benefits that support members and their practices
- APEGA's progress in meeting strategic goals set by APEGA Council
- APEGA's members and their volunteering and professional successes
We hope you’ll join us for yourPEG. See some our latest articles below, and bookmark this page to stay current with our latest news and stories from the world of engineering and geoscience.

Learn the Capability of the Collective at APEGA Nexus
The teens gather in the middle of the ice, tossing their hockey sticks into a haphazard pile. One player slides sticks towards alternating nets and the owners follow. This age-old tradition determines the teams of the game—and, in part, inspired Dr. Jay Van Bavel’s future career. His wonderment at group behaviours led him to become a professor of psychology and neural science. Join him at APEGA Nexus on June 7–8 to learn why the success of the group is the ultimate goal. -
Teamwork Reigns at APEGA’s Branch Science Olympics
Students got a taste of real-world engineering on March 24 when they designed, built, and tested prosthetic legs at the eighth annual APEGA Science Olympics: Lloydminster. Students in grades one to 12 solved challenges demonstrating how engineering and geoscience impact our everyday lives, and volunteers fostered a love and understanding of the professions. -
A Constitution for Community
Professional engineer Nancy Manchak has always been interested in her local and global community. Paired with an engineering degree, this trait has led her to support her profession through volunteerism with Women in Scholarship, Engineering, Science, and Technology, as a senator at the University of Alberta, and as a member of the Women in APEGA Advisory Group. These efforts earned her the 2022 Alberta Women's Science Network Athena Outstanding Volunteer award. -
A Circular Social Service
Shantanu Naikade, E.I.T., a decarbonization engineer-in-training at Shell working in agriculture and forestry, is a big supporter of circular economies—physically and socially. -
A Milestone to Remember
Members were honoured with their lifetime member status and members-in-training swore their oath to become professional members at the Member Milestones celebrations in Calgary on June 21 and Edmonton on June 28. These celebrations were APEGA's first in-person events in more than two years. For the first time, members representing the two different points in their career journeys came together to be lauded by their peers in the professions.
