Event Description


The Professional Governance Act came into force in February 2021, representing a shift in how the professions of engineering and geoscience are regulated, and introducing new obligations and requirements for professional engineers and geoscientists. This new legislation establishes a consolidated framework for professional regulators in the natural and built environment, including Engineers and Geoscientists BC and the regulators for forestry, agrology, biology, and applied science.
