TORONTO – The Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto has ordered Michael Stephen Archer of Toronto to refrain from engaging in the practice of professional engineering or using the designation “Professional Engineer” or “P.Eng.” as an occupational or business designation.
In 2022 and 2023, Archer, who is not a professional engineer, repeatedly used the title of “P.Eng.” as an occupational designation, stated a release.
He additionally purported to practise professional engineering, to provide to the public services within the practice of professional engineering, and to make and use an engineer’s seal without being licensed, contrary to the Professional Engineers Act.
Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO), the licensing and regulating body for professional engineering in the province, sought the order in the interest of public safety, stated the release.
The court also ordered Archer to pay costs of $25,000 to PEO.
PEO continues to investigate the matter. Anyone in possession of a sealed or stamped document or certification bearing the name “M.S. Archer” or “Michael Stephen Archer,” or who has engaged Archer for professional engineering or inspection services, is encouraged to contact PEO’s enforcement hotline at 416-840-1444 or 1-800-339-3716 ext. 1444, or by writing to the regulator at enforcement@peo.on.ca.
