Public Accountability
As a regulator of the engineering and geoscience professions, APEGS protects the public by monitoring and responding to multiple issues of potential public interest and concern as they relate to professional engineering and professional geoscience practices in Saskatchewan.
APEGS is committed to upholding public confidence in the practice of professional engineering and the practice of professional geoscience by acting in the public interest. To demonstrate the commitment, in 2023, Council approved the organizational intent statements outlined below. Actions associated with these statements, as well as other areas of public interest, will be incrementally implemented by APEGS.
APEGS’ new Public Accountability Advisory Group, comprised of licensed engineers and geoscientists as well as public representatives, will oversee our efforts to monitor and respond to current and emerging issues of potential public interest and concern, including, but not limited to environment and sustainability and equity and diversity.
