Act and Bylaw Review
APEGS is engaging in a review of the Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act. The process began in September 2023, and we are preparing to submit proposed changes for government consideration by mid-2026. As part of the process, APEGS has also been reviewing the bylaws.

What We Do
A profession is a calling requiring specialized knowledge, academic preparation and a demonstrated ability to engage in professional practice.
In Canada, the engineering and geoscience professions are regulated in the public interest by self-governing professional licensing bodies. In Saskatchewan, this responsibility is upheld by The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan (APEGS) through The Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act. As the trusted regulatory body for all registrants in Saskatchewan, APEGS ensures that engineering and geoscience professionals uphold professional practice and ethical standards in a manner that protects both the public and the environment.
In addition to setting high standards for admission into the professions, APEGS is also required to investigate any allegations of professional incompetence or misconduct in accordance with the act. APEGS is responsible for disciplining members who fail to uphold the professions’ practice and ethical standards. Any professionals undertaking engineering or geoscience work in Saskatchewan must be registered with APEGS. As such, APEGS also takes appropriate action to prevent the illegal practice of engineering or geoscience by any unlicensed individuals.
The work done by APEGS means the public can be confident that professional engineers and geoscientists have the right education, the right skills, and the ethics to protect the public interest and the environment. It also means that professional engineers and geoscientists can be proud of belonging to a profession with a reputation for excellence, and a commitment to enhancing the quality of life, health, safety, and well-being of all Canadians.
