LAUNCH OF NEW NAME and VISUAL IDENTITY

Saskatchewan Applied Science Technologists and Technicians (SASTT), the only provincial regulatory body for applied science / engineering technology professionals for over 54 years, announces the launch of a new corporate name and visual identity, Technology Professionals Saskatchewan. The name reflects the organization’s progressive direction and its continued commitment to high standards of technical excellence, ethics, and safety.

The process to rebrand started early last year and involved consultation with many registered members from a cross section of applied science and engineering technology disciplines. The three dimensional graphic has a modern flare with the “TP” (Technology Professionals) as the focal point of the logo. Rather than using a literal “S”, the shape of the Province of Saskatchewan, between the letters “T” and “P”, adds depth to the concept. The geometric focused latitude / longitude grid lines were incorporated to provide symmetry. The color selection evolved throughout the project and symbolizes the long horizons in Saskatchewan, with green portraying wide open fields and the blue vast skies. Complementing these colors, is the metallic, which highlights the shape of our province, represents leadership, and a solid foundation.

“With technology omnipresent in our daily life and the need for applied science and engineering technology professionals growing, this is an exciting time for Technology Professionals Saskatchewan”, states Michael Blenkin, AScT, Past President. “Our new name and logo fully supports our mission to be relevant and modern, creating an environment to enhance the profession’s ability to practice in the public’s interest.”

About Technology Professionals Saskatchewan

DIRECTORFrank Van Breugel, CTech

Frank graduated in 1976 from the Industrial Instrumentation program at the Saskatchewan Technical Institute (STI), now Saskatchewan Polytechnic.

Following graduation, Frank and his family moved to British

Columbia just north of Fort Saint John in 1977. After a short stint there with Westcoast Transmission Gas Recovery and Delivery, Frank and family moved to Saskatoon where he began working at Cominco Potash, now part of the Nutrien group.

Four years later, Frank took a job in the Instrumentation program at STI. Frank had received his Red Seal Instrument Mechanic Journeyperson status. He began instructing in the fall of 1983. After a few years, Frank completed a Vocational Technical Education Certificate through the University of Regina. In 2004, Frank became Program Head of the Instrumentation Engineering Technology program, and remained in that position until his retirement in 2018. Overall, Frank’s professional career has spanned 43 years.

One key accomplishment that the program staff achieved was to receive National Accreditation status through Canadian Technology Accrediation Board, Technology Professionals Saskatchewan and retain that status up to the present date. The latest accreditation application has been presented to Technology Accreditation Canada. Through the years, Frank has volunteered to participate in various groups: Excellence in Teaching Awards (Formerly initiated by Palliser Campus Faculty Association); Moose Jaw Campus Staff (Social) Club; ASAP (Aboriginal Student Association Participation); ISA (International Society of Automation) Student Advisor; and has been registered in Technology Professionals Saskatchewan for 28 years. Frank was granted the Maurice M. Zimmerman, AScT, Excellence in Technical Instruction Award in 2012.

Although Frank has retired from his position at Saskatchewan Polytechnic, he believes he still has something to offer as a Director for Technology Professionals Saskatchewan. ARTA needs to receive your application within 60 days of

termination from an employer-sponsored group benefits plan (either as an employee or eligible dependant). After 60 days, applications require medical evidence of insurability and you may be denied coverage.
