Engineers honoured by PEO

Consulting engineers from across the province were among those singled out for recognition at the recent Order of Honour Awards gala sponsored by Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO).

The awards pay tribute to individuals who have rendered exceptional service to the engineering profession.
