Starting with the June 1999, The Manitoba Professional was renamed The Keystone Professional. The new name has geographical, engineering, geoscientific, and professional symbolism which reflects the new Act under which APEGM administers the professionalregistration of geoscientists as well as engineers


First, Manitoba is widely known as “The Keystone Province”. Second, keystone is “the stone at the apex of an arch, the chieflement or consummation, or that on which all else depends (Chamber's 20th. Century Dictionary). Third, the noun “key” connotes that which leads to the solution of a problem and, in association with other words, is a common part of engineering parlance, e.g. turnkey project, computer-key and keyboard, key-pin, key-plate, key-seat, key-way, shear key. Fourth and finally, “stone”, symbolizes the geoscience profession.


The search for a new name was initiated through a request for suggestions in The Manitoba Professional Engineer in 1998. Twomembers responded, Harold Larsen, P.Eng. and Brian Stimpson, P.Eng., who, independently, submitted the name “Keystone”. Ironically, both are geological engineers. Perhaps, having their feet in both worlds (engineering and geology), assisted the creative efforts! Subsequently, after considering input from Council, the Communications Committee settled on the final name,“The Keystone Professional”, as suggested by the Executive Director and Registrar (at the time), Dave Ennis, P.Eng.
