Stakeholder Engagement

Over the last year, Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) has been working towards refreshing its vision to ensure all stakeholders see relevance and value in the organization.

The Visioning 2050 process has been designed to involve PEO stakeholders in the creation of a new vision statement. Hundreds of licence holders, engineering students, and stakeholders of PEO have answered the call for input into this important process. All have actively contributed to the creation of the vision statements you will be asked to provide feedback on and rank in this survey.

We ask that you take a few minutes to complete the survey and contribute your input to this process.

PEO’s new vision statement will help guide future strategies and decisions as the engineering profession continues to evolve. With your input, we hope to achieve a vision statement that is inspirational, clarifies PEO’s purpose, and that is accepted by many.

What is your vision for PEO? We want to hear it!

The survey closes end of day, Friday, November 1st.

Thank you,

Roydon Fraser
Past President, PEO

As part of PEO’s commitment to stakeholder engagement, we are currently engaging in a public consultation on our Services of the Engineers Acting Under the Drainage Act guideline.

We are considering discontinuing our 1998 Services of the Engineer Acting Under the Drainage Act guideline in favour of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs' (OMAFRA) Publication 852: A Guide for Engineers Working under the Drainage Act In Ontario, along  with two OMAFRA factsheets addressing the new processes created through Ontario Regulation 500/21:

• Updating an engineer’s report due to unforeseen circumstances during drainage construction
• Minor improvement projects under the Drainage Act, 1990

As part of this process, we are providing a one-month consultation period to ensure that the discontinuation of this guideline will not impact any ongoing drainage projects in Ontario communities.

Provide your feedback

If you have any questions, comments or concerns related to PEO discontinuing the Services of the Engineer Acting Under the Drainage Act guideline and its replacement with the OMAFRA publications, please email us at [email protected] by October 23, 2024.

PEO is currently reviewing our guideline for Conducting A Practice Review and is seeking feedback from licence holders. Please complete our survey by October 23, 2024.

This guideline aims to provide engineers conducting practice reviews of companies, organizations, departments, or any entity that provides professional engineering services with guidance on the professionally acceptable manner of operating and managing a professional engineering practice.

Thank you in advance for your input and helping to ensure our guidelines remain current and relevant.

PEO is currently reviewing two of its practice guidelines for Reviewing and Supervising Engineering Work and is seeking feedback from licence holders. Please complete our survey by October 23, 2024.

1. Assuming Responsibility and Supervising Engineering Work

The purpose of this guideline is to provide best practices for engineers who assume responsibility for work within the practice of professional engineering performed by unlicensed persons; and personally supervise and direct the provision of services within the practice of professional engineering. 

2. Professional Engineers Reviewing Work Prepared by Another Professional Engineer

This guideline provides professional engineers with guidance on how to conduct reviews of work prepared by other practitioners in a professionally acceptable manner.

Thank you in advance for your input and helping to ensure our guidelines remain current and relevant.

PEO is currently reviewing our The Professional Engineer as an Expert Witness guideline and is seeking feedback from licence holders. Please complete our survey by October 23, 2024.

This guideline is intended to provide guidance for practitioners about their specific obligations to various parties when asked to testify on behalf of a client before a court or a tribunal; as well as the conduct expected of professional engineers in these situations. 

Thank you in advance for contributing to the PEO guideline.

PEO is conducting surveys related to time-based experience and Canadian experience. Licence holders who meet the requirements to participate have been notified. These surveys will close on October 1, 2024.
