At the 2018 APEGS annual meeting, a motion was made by the members requesting that Council consider making available an online register of members.
At the time, The Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act, along with many other acts governing self-regulating professions in Saskatchewan, only permitted the register be made available at the APEGS office.
APEGS discussed this restriction with the Ministry of Justice which resulted in an omnibus change to these acts permitting an online register.
In addition to the request by the members to consider an online register, the consultant engaged to conduct the governance review of APEGS recommended that an online member register would enhance transparency to the public and reduce risk to public safety. Members of the public would be readily able to determine if an individual or corporation is licensed with APEGS to practice the engineering or geoscience professions.
At the September 18, 2020 APEGS annual meeting, the members present passed a motion to add Section 30 to the Regulatory Bylaws permitting limited information for individual members and Certificate of Authorization holders to be made available to the public from the APEGS website.
The current Regulatory Bylaws can be found on the APEGS website at About Us / Act and Bylaws.
Information that is available through the online register is:
| Individual Members | Certificates of Authorization |
|---|---|
| First name | Name of holder |
| Last name | Location |
| Middle name or initial, where it is available | Listing of official representatives |
| Membership category, as defined in section 3 of the Regulatory Bylaws |
|
| Expiry date | |
| License status |
