Are you a proud professional engineer? Do you know someone who is an engineer? Maybe you’re in the process of obtaining your licence to become a professional engineer?

March 1, 2019, marks the second annual Professional Engineers Day or P.Eng. Day in Ontario and it’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate the innovative work and expertise of the engineers in your life and across the province!

What is P.Eng. Day?

  • In March 2018, OSPE received formal recognition from the Legislative Assembly of Ontario that every March 1st be declared Professional Engineers Day in our province.
  • P.Eng. Day recognizes the vital role that professional engineers play in designing, creating and safeguarding our province. They are on the front lines of innovation and create paradigm-changing solutions that drive and improve the world around us.

Why Celebrate P.Eng. Day?

  • At OSPE, we believe Ontario’s engineers deserve credit for all the great things they do in every sector of our economy. That’s why we set out to create a day that officially recognizes and thanks professional engineers for their significant contributions to the continued success of our province.
  • The creation of P.Eng. Day in Ontario is just one example of the proactive steps OSPE is taking to advance the professional and economic interests of Ontario’s engineers.
