The City’s Infrastructure Development and Public Works portfolios are hosting an Open House from 9:00 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Vaughan Room to mark National Engineering Month, which is held every March. 

 

Speak to Vaughan’s engineers

The event will highlight exciting projects, the critical and diverse roles Vaughan’s engineers play in building and shaping the city, and women’s contributions to the field. There will also be snacks, swag and prizes to be won! 

 

Visit industry booths

Speak to industry professionals, including representatives from the Municipal Engineers Association and the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies-Ontario. 

 

Participate in the Bring a Bridge competition

The Open House will also feature the Bring a Bridge competition, an exciting engineering challenge to engage local high school students. Schools interested in participating are asked to organize a team and build a bridge prior to the event, using white school glue and standard popsicle sticks. Bring your Bridge to the open house, where it will be put to the test – live – at 1 p.m.! The team with the bridge that can hold the most weight will win a prize!
