Ontario Votes 2018 – Amplify Your Voice

Election

ElectionOn June 7, 2018, Ontarians will go to the polls to elect the next provincial government. The leaders of the three major political parties – Kathleen Wynne, Patrick Brown, and Andrea Horwath – all say that engineering is key to Ontario’s future growth and prhttps://ospe.on.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/academy-banner-7.pngrity.

This fall, OSPE is working on Election 2018: Engineering Ontario’s Future, an initiative that will outline key commitments all political parties must make to prove they’re heeding the technical, expert advice of the engineering profession, and in turn recognizing the important role the engineering community plays in building the provincial economy and protecting all Ontarians.

OSPE wants to push these leaders to commit their parties to support meaningful policies that will ensure engineers are involved and appreciated, but we need your help.

What issues are most important to you as engineer, engineering intern (EIT), graduate or student? What MUST a political party include in their platform to: 

  • Support the creation of engineering jobs
  • Improve working conditions, compensation, and appreciation for engineers
  • Include engineers in government/policy decision-making
  • Involve engineers to drive:
    • Efficiencies
    • Innovation (new technologies, Smart Cities, etc.)
    • Jobs, investment, and economic development
    • Solutions to big social challenges (climate change, digital divide, poverty, etc.)

These are just a few examples of areas where engineers can and are making a difference.

We want to hear from you – what can Ontario do better, and how? What must a political party include in their platform to win your vote in the provincial election in the spring of 2018?
