The Future of Registration and Regulation of Firms by APEGS

One of the recommendations resulting from the governance review that APEGS undertook in 2019 was for APEGS to consider changes to the requirements for corporate entity registration in Saskatchewan, commonly referred to as the Certificate of Authorization (CofA).

In the fall of 2021, council established the Corporate Registrant Task Group to undertake this work, including the review of the ongoing need for, or appropriateness of, Permission to Consult (PtoC). Council appointed Bert Munro, P.Eng., a past president and semi-retired consultant, as the task group chair with volunteer representation from a cross section of our membership employed by corporate stakeholders from industry and consulting firms across Canada, as well as Saskatchewan crown corporations.

The specific purpose of the task group includes examining the regulation of corporate entities that engage in the practice of professional engineering or professional geoscience, including sole proprietors, and to provide recommendations on future requirements for CofA holders and PtoC and on any required bylaw revisions.

This session will provide an overview of the work of the task group to date and an opportunity for members to make suggestions on the regulation of corporate entities as stakeholders in this process. Suggestions will be considered as the task group prepares their recommendations to Council.
