Message from the Chapter Chair

Dear Chapter Members,

West Toronto Chapter welcomes you to our website. We are one of the largest Professional Engineers of Ontario Chapters, with about 4,000 members. Learn more about Professional Engineers Ontario's West Toronto Chapter, our events, and other outreach activities to support PEO's regulatory mandate.  

Explore our site to find upcoming Events, volunteer opportunities, resources, and join us for technical seminars, P.Eng. certificate ceremonies, social gatherings, and many more activities to connect you with your peers. We look forward to meeting you soon!

Finally, a note of thanks to our volunteer members. West Toronto Chapter activities wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our volunteers, the support of PEO, and you, our members. Thank you for your continued involvement!

I look forward to seeing you and your families this year. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or suggestions.

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].

Warm Wishes,

Sanja Hulec, P.Eng.
