Canadian Engineering Trailblazers

Today, engineers continue to lead the advancement of every facet of society, creating innovations that are launching Canada into its exciting future. This is only possible because of the trailblazers that preceded them. Individuals like Ursula Franklin, Elsie MacGill, Elijah McCoy, Alexander Graham Bell, Roberta Bondar, Chris Hadfield and the Right Honourable Julie Payette paved the way for today’s engineers. This year, the OPEAs will recognize Ontario’s current trailblazers that are shaping the future of the engineering profession and society as a whole.
