Balloting Endorses Regulatory Model

A majority of the votes cast in special ballots favour the one Act, two Associations regulatory model – a framework designed to bring ASET under self-regulatory legislation and add a new professional technologist designation.

BALLOT SUCCESS - Celebrating the successful membership balloting on one Act, two Associations are, from left, ASET Executive Director Barry Cavanagh; ASET President Larry Stone, C.E.T.; the Hon. Iris Evans, Alberta Minister of Employment, Immigration and Industry; APEGGA President David Chalcroft, P.Eng.; and APEGGA Executive Director & Registrar Neil Windsor, P.Eng.

APEGGA President David Chalcroft, P.Eng., says history has been made in separate ASET and APEGGA ballots endorsing a proposed new regulatory framework. The majority of member votes cast in both ballots favour the Memorandum of Understanding endorsed by the two Councils Jan. 25.

ASET and APEGGA have officially requested that the Alberta Government amend the EGGP Act to accommodate changes outlined in the memorandum.

The Hon. Iris Evans, Minister of Employment, Immigration and Industry, said in the Legislature today, “This is an historic day in Alberta.” She called on the MLAs to celebrate “the good work (ASET and APEGGA) have done on behalf of public safety in Alberta.”
