Celebrate National Engineering Month with us!

Learn about the industry at an Open House on March 19

Do you know what it takes to be an engineer? Want to learn more about the work the City of Vaughan’s engineers do? Drop by Vaughan City Hall (2141 Major Mackenzie Dr.) on Wednesday, March 19 to learn more! 

The City’s Infrastructure Development portfolio is hosting an Open House from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Vaughan Room in recognition of National Engineering Month, which is celebrated across Canada every March. 

Here’s what you can do at the event:

Speak to Vaughan’s engineers

The event will showcase various engineering projects staff undertake city-wide, women’s contributions to the field, the various roles of Vaughan’s engineers, and how engineers have a critical role in building and shaping the city. 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 an exciting engineering challenge to engage high school students through the Bring a Bridge competition. Students interested in participating are invited to organize a team and build a bridge prior to the event using glue and popsicle sticks. Bridges will be put to the test – live – during the event and the team with the strongest bridge will win a prize! Contact Erika.Hinze@vaughan.ca to register.
