Canada, and is currently seeking partners and/or government funding to conduct such a study in order to properly assess the
current lack of diversity or support in STEM.

infrastructure
Contributing engineering expertise to enhance the value, functionality and resiliency of projects that support communities

2019 ACTIVITIES
JANUARY

OSPE brings engineers and experts together at a roundtable on green infrastructure in Ontario
OSPE's Infrastructure Task Force invited professional engineers, representatives from the insurance industry, environmental
groups and conservation authorities to come together to share data and discuss findings from the field. The consensus of most
experts at the event helped inform OSPE's position that both green and grey infrastructure projects are needed in Ontario. A
blanket approach cannot be used province-wide to plan, sustain or repair municipal assets.

FEBRUARY

OSPE meets with Minister of Transportation, the Honourable Jeff Yurek to discuss future infrastructure projects and the
priorities of the Ontario government.
