MES SAGE FROM THE MINISTER OF

H I G H WAY S A N D I N F R A S T R U C T U R E
On behalf of the Government of Saskatchewan and Premier
Scott Moe, I am honoured to recognize the Association of Pro-
fessional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan through
Engineering and Geoscience Week.
Whether it is designing new transportation infrastructure to
support our exports getting to port or new innovative technol-
ogy to make our road safer for our commuters, professional
engineers and geoscientists play an important role.
The work of APEGS leave their mark in sectors across Saskatch-
ewan including agriculture, construction, environment, forestry,
manufacturing, mining, utilities, transportation and resources.
I look forward to celebrating the achievements of the men and
women of this profession.

and oversight needed for safe travel on our roads, the
continued export of our products, and stewardship of
our natural resources.
We are proud of the graduates from our engineering and
geoscience programs. Their knowledge and skills con-
tribute to the success of the province we’re proud to call
home. I appreciate the dedicated work of APEGS, which
continues to ensure the highest standards of quality
