Fort McMurray Branch
Message from the Chair
Welcome to the Fort McMurray Branch page! Our branch proudly represents APEGA members across 17 communities in northern Alberta, and we are grateful for the opportunity to support you as we advance the professions of engineering and geoscience in our region.
Our Executive Committee is dedicated to being both your voice to APEGA and APEGA’s voice within our local communities. Throughout the year, we offer meaningful opportunities for professional growth, connection, and community impact—from professional development sessions and networking events to social gatherings that strengthen our sense of belonging.
Inspiring the next generation of engineers and geoscientists is also central to our mission. We are actively involved in science nights, classroom presentations, the APEGA Science Olympics, and our university outreach program with Keyano College.
Everything we accomplish is made possible by the passion and commitment of our volunteers and the engagement of members like you. We welcome your ideas, your feedback, and your involvement—whether through attending events, joining one of our volunteer teams, or sharing suggestions ( [email protected]).
Thank you for being part of the Fort McMurray Branch. We look forward to connecting with you and continuing to strengthen both our professions 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.
