1. Determine If You Are a Qualified Person

Your first step is to consult the appropriate Saskatchewan Environmental Code chapters to see if you are already considered a qualified person for a specific activity. You may already be defined as a qualified person and thereby do not need to be designated by the Minister.

Qualified persons are generally associated with a profession and/or professional body of practice. Examples may include:

  • An applied science technologist;
  • A professional agrologist;
  • A professional engineer/geoscientist; or
  • A professional forester.

6. Renewing or Transferring a Qualified Person Designation

Ministry-designated QPs need to renew their designation every three years.

To renew your designation, you do not need to reapply. Please send an email to envcode@gov.sk.ca.

Include your designation number and code chapter name. Ideally, you should request renewal one month before your designation expires. If it has already expired, please include an updated resumé or CV.
