PEO Practice Advisory Services Awareness Survey

Dear PEO licence holders,

Your help is requested as we strive to improve how PEO provides interpretation, education and guidance to a variety of stakeholders on standards of professional and ethical practice as set out in the Professional Engineers Act and other information we publish.

The cycle of monitoring, reviewing, and updating standards of practice and guidelines is an ongoing part of PEO’s mandate of regulating the practice of professional engineering in Ontario. The ever-evolving nature of professional practice means that gaps will develop over time and that there is always room to learn and develop.

This survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete and will be available until 5 p.m. on June 28, 2024.

Thank you in advance for your input.
