Fort McMurray Branch

Message from the Chair

Welcome to the Fort McMurray Branch page, representing the Fort McMurray Regional APEGA members.

The Branch Executive team strive to be the members' voice to APEGA and APEGA's voice in our community.

We accomplish it by providing professional development opportunities, social events, networking to APEGA members.

We inspire future engineers and geoscientists by supporting educational events such as science nights and Science Olympics.

Together we increase understanding and awareness of professionalism and ethics in the university outreach program to first-year engineering students at Keyano College.

We are part of the community; we are part of protecting our peoples and our community.

Branch Executive

APEGA’s branch executive committees are an integral part of APEGA operations and are governed by the branch manual. The committee includes up to 15 appointed volunteers, including members-at-large and five core positions: chair, past-chair, vice-chair, treasurer, and secretary. The branch chair is responsible for running the branch. To ensure consistency among branches, chairs from all branches meet quarterly to discuss branch governance and business.
