Division of Environmental Professionals Founded
The Division of Environmental Professionals (DEP) was recently formed. This new APEGBC division’s overall goals are to advance environmental engineering and environmental geoscience, to promote education and high standards of practice in the field and to present considered opinions and recommendations to Council on issues pertaining to the fields of environmental engineering and geoscience.
If you are an APEGBC member working within an environmental field and wish to join the Division of Environmental Professionals, please visit www.apeg.bc.ca/event to sign up. Student and Affiliate (non-APEGBC) members training or working in the environmental fields are welcome. Input and volunteers to guide the direction of DEP are also appreciated.
