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."
