About

The PEO Georgian Bay Chapter is a local branch of Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO), the regulatory body for the engineering profession in Ontario. Our chapter is committed to promoting engineering excellence and supporting the profession’s regulatory mandate in the Georgian Bay area.

As part of PEO, we encourage professional engineers, engineering interns (EITs), students, and licence applicants to actively engage with the engineering community, stay informed about regulatory updates, and participate in initiatives that benefit both the profession and the public. Our chapter serves as a hub for collaboration, networking, and professional development, providing members with numerous opportunities to connect, grow, and contribute to the advancement of engineering.

Our Core Activities

• Governance: We foster engagement in the regulatory processes of PEO, encouraging members to participate in elections, town hall meetings, and governance discussions. Our chapter plays an integral role in shaping PEO’s activities and future.  
• Public Presence: We strive to increase public awareness of the value of engineering in the community. Through local outreach, public events, and educational initiatives, we help the public understand the role engineers play in shaping a safer, more sustainable world.
• Grassroots Participation: Our chapter is dedicated to promoting active involvement among licence holders, inspiring participation in local PEO initiatives, and encouraging members to influence PEO governance through voting and discussion.
• Communication: Effective communication is key to our mission. We facilitate a two-way dialogue between local engineers and PEO Council, ensuring members are informed about important decisions and updates within the organization.

• Recognition: We celebrate the achievements of individuals and firms who support the profession. From recognizing newly licensed engineers to honoring exceptional leadership, our chapter values the dedication and contributions of those who advance the engineering community.
