THE BEST OF YOUR PEERS Quickly – what
do these projects and people have in common? A University of Calgary geomatics
professor, a past president of the Edmonton Rotary Club, and the Deerfoot Trail
South Extension?
 The
former chief executive officer of TransCanada Pipelines, the NSERC Industrial
Chair in Oil Sands at the University of Alberta, and the executive director of
the Idaho engineering registration board?
The Shawnessy LRT Station Project, APEGGA’s immediate
past president, and a recently deceased, well-respected APEGGA director?
The common thread is that they’re all on the list
of 2005 Summit Awards winners.
Each spring, APEGGA awards members and others in the community
for the exceptional work they do for the professions and society.
The nominations come from you. Deadline for 2006 nominations
is Sept. 30.

HURRICANE
KATRINA Our hearts go out to the Gulf Coast victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Alberta is strongly tied, economically and socially, to the U.S., so the devastation
certainly strikes a chord with APEGGA members. We encourage members to donate
to the charity of their choice as the City of New Orleans and all the other stricken
communities work to get back on their feet.

REFURBISHING RED DEER
Alexander Way (48th Street) is being recreated as a dynamic,
pedestrian friendly corridor that will ultimately connect the City of Red Deer’s
park system to the downtown. APEGGA members are invited to join in the opening
celebration for the street. Join Mayor Morris Flewelling in a celebration featuring
live music, street performers, buskers, vendors and art walk artists, and offering
hands on demonstrations for the public.
The Central Alberta Branch of APEGGA will be dedicating its Centennial Legacy
Project, a beautiful piece of art commemorating 100 years of engineering and
geoscience contributions to Alberta.
The event kicks off at noon on Saturday, Sept. 17, in the Millennium Centre parking
lot on 48th Street, with opening remarks from the mayor at 12:45 p.m.

SEPTEMBER
PEGG ONLINE
When
internationally educated  graduates
arrive in Canada, their struggles are legion. But APEGGA is doing something to
smooth the transition into the professions. Over the summer, four Job Find events
gave internationally educated graduates a full day of job skills training – and
then put them in the same room as potential employers. Read about this innovative
project and much more in the online version of APEGGA’s member newspaper,
The PEGG.
