Meet APGO’s Registration Team
As
a regulatory body, a huge component of APGO is comprised of the Registration
process. The work involves a
multiple-step process that includes rigorous review of applications received,
follow-ups and in certain cases, referrals to the Registration Committee for
further review and consideration. Outside of this process, the Registration Team also handles all
registration related questions that come our way via phone calls and emails.
Aftab Khan, P.Geo, the APGO Registrar, is
responsible for managing all aspects of the registration of members of the
Association and ensuring compliance with the Professional Geoscientists Act,
2000. The Registrar works closely with
the Deputy Registrar, providing guidance as required.
Aftab
also goes out to the community speaking about the work of APGO. Recently, he was guest speaker at an event
hosted by Professional Access and Integration Enhancement (PAIE) Program. PAIE is a publicly funded bridge training
program designed to connect employers to highly skilled internationally trained
engineers and geoscientists. This
program was developed by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority in
collaboration with APGO and PEO.

Renée Coulcher, Deputy Registrar, is responsible for
managing all aspects of the processing of applications for membership, with the
exception of review for eligibility for membership. She is also responsible for member
information management, public register maintenance and member retention. The Deputy Registrar undertakes other support
duties as required to ensure the quality and efficiency of service provided to
APGO members and stakeholders.
Like
Aftab, Renée also goes out to the community to represent APGO at various events
such as symposia and conferences. Renée
will be in Sudbury on November 5 & 6 to attend the Ontario Exploration
& Geoscience Symposium hosted by Ontario Prospectors Association.
