The 99th Annual General Meeting represents a significant milestone for Engineers and Geoscientists BC, celebrating nearly a century of professional regulation and public protection in British Columbia. This formal gathering will witness the induction of newly elected council members who will guide the organization's governance and strategic direction for the 2018/2019 term.
