There is often more demand for committee positions than seats available. ACEC-Ontario will notify selected candidates. However, those not selected can still participate in the committee through the Transit and Transportation Network and by reviewing Committee Resources, sharing any feedback with ACEC-Ontario staff, Laura Lambie, Director, Government and Stakeholder Relations.
