Only those individuals licensed with APEGGA can practice or use titles relating to working as engineers, geologists, and geophysicists in Alberta. The Association maintains a head office in Edmonton with an administrative office in Calgary. Ten branches are active in major centers throughout Alberta including: Calgary, Central Alberta, Edmonton, Fort McMurray, Lakeland Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Peace River, Vermilion, and Yellowhead. An elected council of nineteen members, including three public representatives appointed by the government, directs Association affairs. Five hundred member volunteers, working on committees and boards, and more than fifty permanent staff support the organization. | | CUSTODIAL HISTORY: | In 1971, Dave Leonard of the Provincial Museum of Alberta donated the material to the Provincial Archives of Alberta.
