Engineers Canada chairs WFEO
committee.
Engineers Canada has assumed the position of chair of the World
Federation of Engineering Organisations' (WFEO) Committee on
Engineering and the Environment for the next four-year term. The
position provides Canada's engineering profession with a
significant opportunity to showcase its expertise on the world stage.
Founded in 1968, the WFEO is a non-governmental international
organization that brings together national engineering organizations
from over 90 nations and represents some 15 million engineers around the
world. It co-operates with national and other international professional
institutions in developing and applying engineering to the benefit of
humanity. One of six standing committees, the WFEO's Committee on
Engineering and the Environment aims to develop a worldwide
understanding and commitment to sustainable development.
Committee chair and Engineers Canada past-president Darrel Danyluk
said, "During our four-year term, we plan to address the
environmental challenges facing our societies."
