Message from the Chapter Chair

June 2025

Dear Chapter Members,

I am pleased to continue serving as Chair of the East Toronto Chapter for 2025. I have been volunteering with our Chapter since 2017 in various capacities, and I look forward to another productive and engaging year ahead!

East Toronto successfully held three new member Licensing Presentation Ceremonies in 2024. This year, members receiving their P.Eng. licence can now choose which Chapter ceremony to attend based on date or location. East Toronto has three licensing ceremonies scheduled for 2025, and we look forward to meeting our new licensees during these events!

Our Chapter hosted a successful Speed Networking event earlier this year, and we have a full calendar of events ahead. This includes community engagement initiatives, team-building activities, technical tours and seminars. To stay up-to-date, visit our Events web page at https://www.peo.on.ca/chapters/easttoronto/events.

We’re also proud to announce that the 2025–2026 Regional Councillors Committee (RCC) Scholarship will be open to first- or second-year engineering university students who currently reside within the East Toronto Chapter boundary or who or lived within the boundary during their final year of high school.

East Toronto Chapter activities wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our volunteers, the support of our sponsors, and you, our members. Thank you for your continued involvement!

If you have any suggestions for activities, partnerships, or ways our Chapter can support your professional journey, please reach out to us at [email protected].

I look forward to seeing you and your families this year. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected] with any questions or suggestions.

Warm Wishes,

Sara Ayub, P.Eng.
