“There is no higher calling in an engineering career than public service. It is a chance to make a positive difference in people’s lives.”
Dennis Paddock began his distinguished 48-year engineering career managing innovative projects in transportation and municipal infrastructure for the Saskatchewan Government. In his role as head of northern municipal programs, he worked with engineering consultants to develop and deliver cold-climate water and sewer systems and operator training programs in northern Saskatchewan. He served the profession for 23 years as CEO and Registrar of APEGS, guiding the Council, volunteers, and staff through the revision of The Engineering Professions Act creating The Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act, assuring that the practice of engineering and geoscience in Saskatchewan remained under one Act. During his tenure, he guided APEGS’ growth from 3,600 to over 13,000 members.
Throughout his career, Paddock volunteered on APEGS committees, was their President and Engineers Canada Director, and on two occasions the CEO Group Chair. Now retired, he continues serving as Deputy Chief Warden of Kipling Camp #25. He maintains his passion for self-regulation and the important contributions that engineers make to Canadian life.
