Today (Sun) is the first day of Engineering and Geoscience Week in Saskatchewan to highlight the important work of those who work in these fields.
APEGS, the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan explains on its website that we depend on these professionals to build safety into our homes, schools, offices, factories and mines and we rely them to ensure we have clean drinking water, safe and efficient wastewater treatment and the convenience of electricity at the flick of a switch, and the list goes on.
Highways Minister, David Marit, says, “Engineers and geoscientists play an integral part of developing the infrastructure we use every day.”

Engineers and geoscientists play a role in a wide variety of areas, infrastructure and industries. This includes agriculture, aerospace, environment, forestry, manufacturing, mining, utilities, health care, education, highways; and natural resources.
