Toronto Regional Launch

Over 150 engineers “Get Networking” in downtown Toronto

On Thursday, November 6, engineers, CEOs, politicians and other guests had an opportunity to “Get Networking” at a special reception celebrating the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers’ official Toronto launch.

Along with the Society's Board of Directors, the "who's who" of Toronto's engineering, science and technology community were on hand to help the Society launch our operations in the area. Attendees connected with colleagues and learned about the Society’s activities in the region at the historic Design Exchange in downtown Toronto.

The highlight of the evening was a keynote address from award-winning broadcast journalist Wendy Mesley, discussing how news is made – or not made. Addressing engineers specifically, she explained that it is up to us to be persistent and to bring forward interesting stories about what engineers are doing.

“You can’t get media attention just because you deserve it,” Ms. Mesley told attendees. “You have to go out and seek it.”
