Faked Resumé
Dupes
Permit Holder
 The sentencing of an Edmonton man for fraudulently portraying
himself as a Florida-licensed engineer should serve as a cautionary tale for
all APEGGA permit holders. “Always check resumés, and always
check them thoroughly,” said Dave Todd, P.Eng., APEGGA Director, Compliance. “Also,
insist that those who say they are engineers or geoscientists have APEGGA licensure
or at the very least are seeking it.”

Calgary: August 21 and 22
Edmonton August 23 and 24
Both Calgary and Edmonton will play host to a two-day seminar about project
management. The speaker for these information-packed seminars will feature Dr.

participants will be able to perform tasks such as:
- Formulate and communicate project plans effectively
- Organize and lead a project team
- Apply techniques and project control
- Apply effective project monitoring and evaluating techniques
- Build and sustain project teams
Both seminars will be held at the respective APEGGA conference
centres.
