Engineering Dimensions

November/December 2018

Engineering Dimensions is published quarterly by Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) and is distributed to all PEO-licensed professional engineers. The magazine provides information relevant to the practice of professional engineering and promotes awareness of the Professional Engineers Act and the activities of the association.

In this issue:   Ontario’s north is a vast, sparsely populated land mass with unique challenges that often go unnoticed by people living in southern Ontario, where the population density rivals those of many European countries. In this issue we explore the challenges engineers face delivering equitable internet and broadband services to northern Ontario. And in a haunting tale of despair and tragedy, we profile a First Nations community in Ontario’s far north as they attempt to improve their community’s infrastructure with the help of three engineers.
