The Order of Honour

The principles of the Order of Honour include:

• Identifying extraordinary volunteers who support PEO’s statutory mandate to regulate the engineering profession in Ontario to protect the public interest.
• Maintaining a limited number of inductees into the Order of Honour to ensure only extraordinary volunteers are given the Order of Honour.
• Establishing a selection process for new members of the Order of Honour that ensures accountability, fairness, transparency, justice, equity, diversity and inclusion.
• Confirming that potential and active members of the Order of Honour reflect the high degree of ethics and professional conduct of the engineering profession.

Candidates should have made substantial contributions in promoting PEO and its regulatory works, such as volunteer leaderships roles (service on Council, as a chapter officer or chair/vice chair of a committee or task force); promoting PEO’s regulatory role to decision makers and the public; or mentoring PEO licence candidates or new engineers. The Order also recognizes equity, diversity and inclusion-related volunteer work such as expanding diversity and inclusion in the engineering profession and promoting fairness and social justice in engineering. Candidates must not be aware of their nomination.
