At OSPE, advocacy is our cornerstone, driving us to create change and progress within the engineering community. To fulfill this commitment, we've established five task forces, each focused on conducting research and providing policy recommendations in areas critical to engineers in Ontario.
In part five of our series, we spotlight the work being done by OSPE's Energy Task Force. Host Jerome James speaks with task force chair Stephen Pepper, P.Eng. about the crucial role professional engineers play in developing clean and sustainable energy solutions and stresses the significance of their active participation in policy-making at all levels of government.
