OSPE is committed to supporting equity,
diversity and inclusion in engineering. In 2017,
we established a pilot mentorship program
funded by Status of Women Canada, which is
now known as Women and Gender Equality Canada
(WAGE).
OSPE recognizes that workforce diversity
extends beyond gender. In 2019, we welcomed
individuals from all under-represented groups
to the program.

of diversity benefit through recruitment and retention
of engineering talent. You can demonstrate your
