PARTNERS
IN PROFESSIONALISM
 This year’s Annual Conference theme, Partners in Professionalism, underlines
the importance of engineering and geoscience teams in the development and well-being
of Alberta and the world. You – our members – partner in a myriad
of ways to protect the public, build communities, manage and operate companies
and other organizations, and put technology to work for everyone’s benefit.
Do you want to celebrate this role by taking part in self-government,
attending top-notch professional development sessions and mingling with your
peers throughout the spectrum of the APEGGA professions? Then watch the e-PEGG,
The PEGG and the APEGGA website for more information on the conference and Annual
General Meeting, April 25 to 28 in Calgary, as it becomes available. We’ll
provide full registration information soon. |

 MEET THE MINISTER
Premier Ed Stelmach’s first Cabinet has resulted in
a change of the minister responsible for APEGGA. Veteran politician the Hon.
Iris Evans is the new Minister of Employment, Immigration and Industry. A full
story on Ms. Evans will appear in the February PEGG. In the meantime, click
here for her online biography .

WEBSITE VIEWING PROBLEMS
Have you upgraded your computer to Internet Explorer 7?
If so, you may be having trouble viewing some pages of the APEGGA website properly.
We are on the case, however, and making our pages compatible as quickly as we
can. In the meantime, please click here to alert our web developer Barbara
Jensen of specific problem pages (email: bjensen@apegga.org). If you haven’t
upgraded yet and you use the APEGGA site regularly, you may want to hold off
your upgrade to IE 7 until the site is fully compatible. Or you may want to return
to an older version of Internet Explorer for now. |
