Engineering and Geoscience Week

Each year, APEGS requests the Government of Saskatchewan to proclaim Engineering and Geoscience Week as the first week in March as part of National Engineering Month. This year, Engineering and Geoscience Week was March 3-9, 2024.

The week provides an opportunity to celebrate the essential role that engineers and geoscientists play in the lives of Saskatchewan residents to ensure safety while providing a modern way of life.

APEGS hosts a variety of events to observe the week, including professional development opportunities for all members, a luncheon to recognize those who have become professional members in the past year, and the APEGS awards banquet to foster professional excellence among members.

Engineering and Geoscience Week is also an opportunity to attract fresh minds to the professions. APEGS encourages students’ interest in the professions by sponsoring the Saskatchewan Science Centre, Nutrien Wonderhub, EYES Science and Engineering Education Program, SCI-FI Science Camps, and the below opportunities in geoscience. In addition, APEGS began sponsoring the IMAX film “Cities of the Future“, which opened at the Kramer IMAX Theatre in February 2024. This engaging film explores the innovative technologies and engineering marvels shaping tomorrow’s urban environments, showcasing the critical role of engineers and geoscientists in building sustainable cities.
