More information: http://www.apegga.org/events/pd/index.htm MANDATORY PERMIT TO PRACTICE SEMINARS The issuing of Permits to Practice to practicing companies is an important element of APEGGA's obligation to regulate the professions. Many Responsible Members named on those Permits tell us that they are unsure of their responsibilities. A seminar, where members can discuss these obligations, appears to be the most effective way to clarify the roles. The Government of Alberta has approved an amendment to the Regulations accompanying the Engineering, Geological and Geophysical Professions Act to make attendance at a seminar mandatory for each Responsible Member from every permit holding company at least once very five years. Options to accommodate firms with large numbers of Responsible Members will be discussed at the sessions. APEGGA will be holding these seminars at our conference centres in Edmonton and Calgary regularly starting this fall, and will be scheduling seminars in other centres starting in early 2004.
