APEGS Awards
The APEGS Awards highlight Saskatchewan engineers and geoscientists for their contributions to the public and the professions. They showcase and recognize exemplary competence and conduct to foster professional excellence among members and raise awareness of the role of APEGS in protecting the public.
There are six engineering and geoscience awards, as well as an award for a non-engineer/geoscientist (or team) that recognizes projects or achievements in the professions. The awards are presented at a banquet in March as part of Engineering and Geoscience Week.
