This process aligns with ACEC-Ontario’s core principles of equity, inclusivity, and effective representation, ensuring that the committee reflects a diverse range of perspectives and expertise necessary to fulfill its mandate.

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 Transportation Network and by reviewing Committee Resources, sharing any feedback with ACEC-Ontario staff, Doug DeRabbie, Director, Stakeholder and Government Relations.
