Central Alberta Branch

Message from the Chair

Welcome to our Central Alberta Branch page. Our branch's goal is to align ourselves with APEGA's strategic plan by delivering initiatives and activities that engage our members and the public as well as being the voice of APEGA to our members and being the voice of our members to APEGA.

We promote networking and professional development opportunities for our members and provide learning opportunities for the younger generations that will become the Professional Engineers and Professional Geoscientists of tomorrow, all while promoting our profession.  

The key to our success is our strong core of members who are actively engaged in the many events and activities hosted by our Central Alberta Branch Executive and APEGA.
