Once the Board of Examiners has advised you that you have been licensed as a professional member, you will be invited to a Member Induction Ceremony. These ceremonies, which are conducted in various locations around the province, were introduced for the first time in 1995. At the ceremony your sponsor, usually one of the members you nominated as a reference, will introduce you to the professions and you will be asked to repeat an oath. Your attendance is voluntary, but APEGGA expects that the Member Induction Ceremony will become accepted as a meaningful recognition of a major milestone in the development of professional engineers, geologists and geophysicists.
