Brought to you by the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan

Mosaic Stadium: Have you
ever wondered how the sta-
dium stands? How does the
concrete and steel, stacked and
angled, seemingly defy grav-
ity? How does the giant screen
work? T he stadium lights
shine?
Clean fresh tap water –
straight to your home: Have
you ever wondered how that
happens? Who dug the res-
ervoir? Designed the pipes?
Cleaned the water? How does
water pressure work?
Saskatchewan’s natural
resources – potash, uran-
ium, oil and gas: Who dis-
covered them? Who finds new
motherlodes of resource rich-
es? Who digs the mines and
the wells and keeps them run-
ning?
Saskatoon – the Bridge
City: Where do all those bridg-
es come from? Who builds the
massive structures joining the
river banks? How do they stay
so solid and reliable that thou-
sands of cars a day can pass
over them with no fear of fall-
ing in the water?
Saskatchewan’s vast net-
work of highways and roads
linking every city, town and
village: Who plans them? Who
decides where new roads need
to go? How do they withstand
all the extremes of our prov-
ince’s climate? How do all the
potholes (or, at least, most of
them) get fixed?
T hese things and many
more in our day-to-day lives
happen because engineers and
geoscientists wondered.
Engineers and geoscien-
tists use their imagination and
skills to bring the wonders of
modern life into reality.
Engineers and geoscien-
tists belong to self-governing
professions. They are over-
seen by their governing body,
the Association of Professional
Engineers and Geoscientists
(APEGS) and the engineer-
ing business association, the
A ssociation of Consulting
Engineering Companies of
Saskatche wan (ACEC-SK).
These associations use their
foresight to develop and en-
force one of the strictest codes
of ethics and professional con-
duct of any profession in Can-
ada.

tists: Ever wondering.

APEGS – ENSURING PUBLIC SAFETY

The Association of Profes-
sional Engineers and Geo-
scientists of Saskatchewan
(APEGS) regulates the prac-
tices of professional engin-
eering and professional
geoscience for the protec-
tion of the public and the
environment and the bene-
fit of society.
“In our regulatory role,
safeguarding the pub-
lic is a primary objective
of APEGS,” said Stormy
Holmes, president of the as-
sociation. “We accomplish
this by ensuring that mem-
bers are highly competent
and ethical.” Some practi-
ces that APEGS follows to
regulate the professions
and safeguard the public
include:
• Undertaking a rigorous
review process of each ap-
plicant to ensure that they
have formal education and
related working experi-
ence (a minimum of four
years) before they can earn
a designation and be grant-
ed a licence to practice as
a Professional Engineer
(P.Eng.), Professional Geo-
scientist (P.Geo.), Engineer-
ing Licensee, or Geoscience
Licensee.
• Requiring every mem-
ber of the association to
define their scope of prac-
tice, work only within their
areas of competency, cre-
ate and execute a plan for
continuing professional
development, and report
on their actives. Within the
plan the member must also
demonstrate they have ac-
counted for ethics training.
• Regularly connecting
with universities, business,
and industry to ensure that
any person practicing pro-
fessional engineering or
professional geoscience is
registered with APEGS.
• Investigating and disci-
plining professional mem-
bers as well as corporate
entities that practice pro-
fessional engineering and/
or professional geoscience
through a Certificate of Au-
thorization.
In addition, APEGS is
structured to allow for pub-
lic oversight and transpar-
ency. APEGS’ Council gov-
erns the affairs and busi-
ness of the association and
includes two public appoin-
tee councillors that have
full voice and voting privil-
eges. One councillor is ap-
pointed to the investigation
committee and the other to
the discipline committee.
Through their participa-
tion on council and com-
mittee, the public appoin-
tees provide public over-
sight into the operations of
the association.
“ We belie ve that our
regulatory structure and
practices dictate and en-
sure the high standards
that are required by pro-
fessionals to practice in a
safe, competent, and eth-
ical manner, said Holmes.
“They give the public con-
fidence that our members
are qualified to protect the APEGS President Stormy
public interest.” Holmes, P.Eng., FEC

ACEC-SK SUPPORTS DREAMING BIG TO ENGINEER OUR WORLD

bryce hunter, P. eng.
ACEC - SK Chair
Many folks appreciate the
infrastructure and amenities
in our province, but I often
wonder how many under-
stand the role engineers and
geoscientists have played in
developing Saskatchewan
over time. Our work is often
assumed – roads and bridges
are safe, schools and hospi-
tals provide essential services.
All around our province, our
work impacts our commun-
ities. However, the innovation
of engineering is often hidden
or unseen.
Engineering has been firm-
ly established in Saskatch-
ewan since the early days of
western settlement in the 19th
Century and has contributed
in many ways to the modern
society we live in today.
Through time the profes-
sion has used science and
technology to advance civil-
ization through sound plan-
ning, innovative designs,
advanced construction tech-
niques and analysis and re-
duction of life-cycle costs.
Significant examples of
contributions through time
include building the Canadian
railways, establishment of
the grain movement systems
including elevators, imple-
mentation of drought protec-
tions and water management
practices, the innovative Blair-
more Ring which provides ac-
cess to mineral rich resources,
developing sustainable and
resilient ways to protect our
towns and cities and many,
many more.
As time passes, and the
world continually changes,
that change creates new chal-
lenges and opportunities for
the profession. As we prog-
ress, we need creative minds
with big ideas to help solve
some of our largest challen-
ges, which are indeed our big-
gest opportunities including
water and food scarcity, global
warning and the effects of
greenhouse gases, impacts of
technological advancement,
navigating and being com-
petitive in a global economy,
and so on. It’s the great minds
entering our industry that will Bryce Hunter, P.Eng.,

Michael Walker, P.Eng.
Michael Walker P.Eng. PE PMP, was born
in Yorkton in 1985 and graduated from
Winston Knoll Highschool in Regina.
After attending the University of Alberta
for Civil Engineering and spending a few
years working in Alberta, he moved back
to Saskatchewan to establish the Regina
office of McElhanney Consulting Services
Ltd and manage McElhanney’s Saskatch-
ewan Division.

Co-Op Refinery Complex
Co-Op Refinery Complex’s Wastewater
Improvement Project (WIP) has been
recognized as a world-class achievement
in wastewater management.
The refinery requires an enormous
amount of water to function. As its use
continued to grow, the refinery launched
its ambitious water recycling initiative at a
cost of roughly $200 million.
The WIP allows the refinery to clean 100
per cent of its wastewater and recycle up
to 65 per cent.
Even though the Refinery’s refining
capacity has increased, the WIP cuts
freshwater use by roughly 28 per cent -
the equivalent of the water used by 3,100
households in the City of Regina.
