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, inspire the next generation of professionals, and raise awareness of the roles of engineers, geoscientists, and APEGS in protecting the public. The awards are presented at a banquet in March during Engineering and Geoscience Week.
