About
Message from the Chapter Chair
On behalf of the Lakehead Chapter of Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO), welcome to our website.
On our website, you will find the names of the executive members of the Lakehead Chapter, a list of sub-committees, recent newsletters and a listing of past and future events. For a sense of community our Chapter delivers educational outreach, technical, and social/sporting events to our membership. We are the link between the association and its members and the public. Some of our annual events include our Annual General Meeting, the Engineering & Technology Conference and various tours and networking events. All Lakehead Engineers are welcome and encouraged to attend these events.
It remains our goal to plan and host events in an effort to promote the engineering profession within our community and give the public a better understanding of what engineers do and how they affect their lives.
We welcome all feedback. Please contact us via email at [email protected] if you have an idea for an event, tour, or would like to volunteer for an existing event.
Thank you for visiting our website.
