The Saskatchewan electric grid is undergoing a major transformation to meet evolving customer needs and emerging technologies. This session will introduce SaskPower’s Distribution Transformation (DT) effort, also known as Grid Modernization, explaining why these initiatives are critical for utilities, energy industry professionals, and the broader energy ecosystem.
The increasing risk of foodborne illness and operational failures necessitates a robust, prevention-based food safety management approach. This presentation highlights how the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system transforms conventional risk management into reliable, engineering-driven solutions.
Hydrogen and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) play a vital role in driving the energy transition forward. Hydrogen serves as a clean, efficient fuel for transportation and industrial processes, while CCUS transforms carbon emissions into valuable resources. These include applications like enhanced oil recovery, fertilizer production, sustainable aviation fuels, and the creation of both food-grade and industrial-grade CO₂. By working together, these technologies not only cut greenhouse gas emissions but also unlock new economic opportunities from captured carbon, paving the way toward a greener, more resilient Canadian energy future.
Engineering Ethics provides a number of interesting issues to consider. Engineering Ethics is always a timely topic. Much of our modern world is shaped by engineering, and without engineering, the issues facing our world cannot be corrected. However, with power comes responsibility.
Seasonal Affective Disorder affects a significant percentage of our population. As the winter days grow short, our bodies react. Changes in mood, loss of energy, and cognitive difficulties can all be the result. Up to 25% of the population in Canada will show symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) in either a mild or severe form. There is hope, however. With knowledge, we can recognize the issues and use some of the available coping mechanisms to bring us successfully through the winter.
Welded steel storage tanks can seem simple. However, if they are specified poorly during the procurement process it can lead to late delivery, budget overruns, and poor performance once the tank is installed. This webinar will help attendees understand the basics of the most common tank codes (API 12F/650/620, ULC S601, ASME VIII Div 1, and AWWA D-100) so that they can navigate through tank projects more effectively. The presenters will share what they consider to be the best practices for tank design and explain how different design choices can make the difference between a great tank and one that can be a headache for operators. Additional guidance will be given on specific areas to pay attention to during the procurement process to ensure tank fabricators deliver the best tank for your application, on time and on budget.
Talk by Dr. Kevin Ansdell, Economic Geology Professor at the University of Saskatchewan.
The University of Waterloo’s Climate Institute is hosting a National Forum “Designing Climate-Ready Education for the Next Generation of Professionals”. This forum will explore what knowledge and skills students need most, and how we can teach in ways that cultivate hope, agency, and purposeful learning.
The presentation will explain the purpose and evolution of API 682, highlighting how it establishes a consistent framework for seal selection and leakage control across rotating equipment applications.
This presentation will introduce construction surety bonds.
The APEGS Awards recognize Saskatchewan engineers and geoscientists for their contributions to the professions and the public interest, showcasing exemplary competence and conduct. The awards foster professional excellence among members, inspire the next generation of professionals, and raise awareness of the role of engineers, geoscientists, and APEGS in serving the public interest.
This summer 2026, invest in a short, high-impact sustainability program — one immersive week at Concordia in Montreal plus flexible online projects — to equip your employees with the skills necessary to integrate sustainability thinking across projects, teams, and decision-making. Your employees return with actionable ideas and the confidence to integrate sustainability directly into their work.
