APEGA Welcomes Bill 40: the Professional Governance Act The Professional Governance Act was introduced in the legislature by the Government of Alberta on March 11, 2025. Bill 40 will bring 22 professional regulatory organizations (PROs)—including APEGA—under one act. It includes the same overarching direction for all PROs, such as governance, accountability, professional practice, and professional conduct, while profession-specific schedules and regulations are developed for each.
This legislation will provide a significant opportunity to modernize the legislation that regulates Alberta’s engineers and geoscientists—something APEGA has been focused on for more than a decade. John Corriveau, P.Eng., APEGA's deputy registrar and chief regulatory officer, joined Rajan Sawhney, minister of advanced education, to speak with media about the new legislation and what it means for regulators in Alberta.
