ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION
The Association was established on March 27, 1920 by The Engineering Profession Act to regulate the profession of engineering in Manitoba.
In 1998 the Manitoba Legislature expanded the Association's mandate to regulate professional geoscientists in Manitoba with The Engineering and Geoscientific Professions Act.
In 2015 the Association adopted the working name of Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba while retaining the legal name of The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of the Province of Manitoba.
The purposes of the Association are to:- Govern and regulate the practice of professional engineering and professional geoscience in Manitoba.
- Promote and increase, in the public interest, the knowledge, skill, and competency of its members and all other persons governed or regulated by it, in all things relating to the professions of engineering and geoscience.

Land Acknowledgement
Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba governs and regulates the practice of professional engineering and professional geoscience in Manitoba. The Association acknowledges and respects the Treaties. We acknowledge that engineering and geoscience projects have played roles in harms that have been inflicted on First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Nations from resource extraction and development. We dedicate ourselves to moving forward with First Nations, Inuit, Métis Nations, and rights holders in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration in the meaningful exercise of Indigenous rights.
These remain First Nations, Inuit, and Métis lands: the lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Dene, Inuit, and the national homeland of the Red River Métis. Their nations have welcomed many peoples who have arrived over generations and continue to make these lands home. First Nations, Inuit, and Métis have cared for the land, water, and relations, and developed innovative ways and methods to thrive in the harshest of conditions - the original engineers and geoscientists. We are committed to respecting and honouring their histories, cultures, and ongoing contributions to our professions.
Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Commitment
Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba is committed to leading and supporting inclusive and equitable practices throughout the professions of engineering and geoscience. We recognize the need to address systemic issues of inequity and inequality in alignment with our mandate.
Our practitioners are striving to continually advance a profession that reflects and embraces the diversity of our communities and encourages the competencies of open mindedness, respect, and empathy.
Together, we share responsibility for protecting the public and ensuring that equity, diversity, and inclusion are treated as essential to our work.
