Ontario Association of Professional Engineers

The Ontario Association of Professional Engineers (PEO) is the regulatory body responsible for licensing and overseeing professional engineers in Ontario. It ensures engineers meet strict standards of education, competence, and ethics before they can legally sign off on engineering projects. PEO protects public safety and interests by regulating the profession, setting professional guidelines, and maintaining a register of licensed engineers. It also promotes the responsible practice of engineering and fosters public trust in the profession through certification, enforcement, and ongoing professional development.
