FANCY MEETING YOU HERE
Every year interesting connections and surprises arise at APEGGA’s Excellence in Education ceremonies. This year was no exception. Joy Castro, P.Eng., left, attended the Excellence in Education ceremony in Edmonton, Nov. 4, to receive the APEGGA Education Scholarship. She’s pursuing a bachelor of education degree with a math major at the University of Alberta. Also at the ceremony was Peter Dang, right, a teacher at Aurora School, who received a certificate of nomination for the 2008 APEGGA Teacher Awards Program. Mr. Dang is also a recipient of two past teacher awards. Ms. Castro is doing her teaching practicum in Mr. Dang’s class. Both left school one day — and were surprised to find each other at the same event, that night. Shown in the centre is APEGGA President Gordon Williams, P.Geol.

A SOLDIER AND AN ENGINEER
If cost overruns and late contractors have got you down, take a moment to consider the conditions that Canada’s combat engineers endure while performing their duties in Afghanistan. About 200 APEGGA members and others did exactly that at an APEGGA Edmonton Branch luncheon, Jan. 20. Maj. Bret Parlee, P.Eng., of 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group of the Canadian Forces, outlined the conditions, challenges and responsibilities of combat engineers serving their country, and also gave examples of specific projects in Afghanistan.
