 | |  | APEGA and ASET Sign Agreement to Transfer Regulation of Professional Technologists to APEGA APEGA and the Association of Science and Engineering Technology Professionals of Alberta (ASET) are proud to announce a landmark agreement that will simplify the oversight of professional technologists [P.Tech.(Eng.)/(Geo.)] under a single regulatory framework when both organizations transition to the Professional Governance Act, expected in March 2027.
By consolidating regulatory responsibilities, the regulators are creating a more agile and responsive professional landscape—one that better serves Alberta’s evolving workforce needs and economic priorities. This collaborative agreement reflects a shared commitment to public safety and also supports the Government of Alberta’s efforts to reduce red tape. | |  | The APEGA office will be closed from December 25, 2025, to January 1, 2026, reopening on January 2, 2026.
This is the last edition of the ePEG newsletter for 2025. The next edition will be sent January 13, 2026. See you next year!
