Chapter Network
PEO Chapters are the local presence for Professional Engineers Ontario across the province. Organized into five regions, the 36 chapters promote the value of engineering to local communities and provide an important link between licence holders and engineering interns (EITs) and PEO Council. They perform a range of functions including organizing licence certificate ceremonies; hosting technical seminars and social events; providing a forum for members to exchange knowledge and ideas; and offering professional networking opportunities.
