Council Meeting November 24, 2017 The Sheraton Airport Hotel Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists President’s Report November 24, 2017 REPORT TO COUNCIL

I am pleased to present my report to Council.

First, thank you to OACETT Staff and the Awards Committee for another successful Provincial Honours & Awards event. It was a fantastic night celebrating our Association and recognizing the outstanding contributions of our members and those that have had major impact on our Association. Many were truly humbled to receive recognition and it was my honour as President to congratulate all.

For our November Council meeting we will be discussing the Performance Letters of each work area and you will notice that the “Dragonfly” project is a common theme. As Council is aware, this is the largest and most expensive undertaking in OACETT’s 60 years. You will be hearing an update from Past President Rod MacLeod on the status of our milestone project and you will note that Staff have commenced the design phase of this project. This portion of the project requires significant work and detailed review by Staff which lays the framework in ensuring the efficiency and effectiveness of the system. This is in addition to Staffs day‐to day responsibilities in ensuring our many projects and initiatives that support our Strategic Plan and ensuring Council’s level of service to our members is maintained. I continue to be impressed by the high caliber and dedication of our Staff!

Since our September Council meeting I have had the opportunity to attend a number of OACETT functions and represented OACETT including:

 The Ontario Building Official’s Annual Meeting and Training Sessions at Deerhurst Resort. I attended a number of sessions including a Stakeholders Briefing on OBOA’s Strategic direction and priorities. The OBOA and many municipal building departments are facing a significant challenge in light of the Baby Boomer generation as 50% of their members are retiring in 5 years! This “Silver Tsunami” is causing the OBOA to re‐think their outreach into colleges and how to attain the younger professional into their profession.

 The Conestoga College Civil Engineering Technology Program’s 50th Anniversary celebration at the behest of the OACETT Grand Valley Chapter. An excellent event and celebration where I had the opportunity to meet with Conestoga President John Tibitis who thanked OACETT for their continued support. Thank you to the OACETT Grand Valley Chapter for their hospitality.

 Georgian College Golden Gala celebrating their 50th Anniversary; a number of OACETT members were in attendance.

Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Appendix – Design Meeting Schedule Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists Systems Steering Committee – Dragonfly IT Project Report November 24, 2017 REPORT TO COUNCIL

The Systems Steering Committee, comprised of David Thomson and Rod MacLeod as co-chairs, Barbara Chappell, Janice Meade and Melissa Wood, each as executive members, and Barry Hudson as Project Manager, offers this progress report to Council.

Since September Council meeting, OACETT staff, Project Manager and BDO have been busy with Design Meetings. Each meeting is a day-long session intended to gather detailed information about the business, operation and finance processes of OACETT. The meetings are minuted for future reference and background information and any item brought forward that is not meeting topic specific or cannot be immediately answered is placed in a “parking lot” where a responsible individual and resolution deadline are assigned.

At the time of writing, five of approximately fifteen Design Meetings have been held. At first glance this may not seem like much progress however, consider, within the specific topics, the extent of communication with our members and that a template is required at each of these points, and the expectations and the required effort can be appreciated.

In addition to these fifteen meetings, two meetings have been planned for BDO to present “mock-ups/prototypes” for review and further improvement as may be required. As well, meetings are planned with our vendors to ensure that system integrations proceed as intended.

These scheduled meetings continue into February 2018 after which BDO will complete the Dragonfly project design phase, for submission to OACETT no later than March 30th. During this design period regular meetings will be held to monitor that progress remains on track for approval and advancement into the System Build phase.

Under another item within the Council agenda, two motions will be brought forward regarding the funding of the Dragonfly project. OACETT has realized a capital gain of $115,700 on its long term investments as well as having a year-end cash surplus. To take advantage of the capital gain, Motion 1 proposes that up to $115,000 be moved into a Dragonfly, project specific, fund. Motion 2 proposes that up to $350,000 of the year-end cash surplus be moved to the Dragonfly project fund as well. If both motions are approved, these monies will finance the project until the end of Q1 2018 without impact to the base investment capital.

In summary, to date, the project is on track with no scope, budget or schedule changes.

Respectively submitted,

Systems Steering Committee

Briefing Note – OACETT Long Term Investment Liquidation of $115,000.00

Since December 31, 2016 to the current date (October 24, 2017) the OACETT Long Term Investments have performed very well. Below is the performance summary:

OACETT Investment Capital Gains Dec 31/17 to Oct 24/17

OACETT Long Term Investments as at Dec 31/16: $5,404,944 OACETT Long Term Investments as at Oct 24/17: $5,536,062 Gain Available For Liquidation $115,700

The gains have been primarily due to our investment in the Royal Bank Preferred shares performing above market.

Given that (stock) markets are not entirely predictable and the current political geoeconomic uncertainties facing both global and domestic assets it would appear that now is the time to liquidate some gains and move the liquidated gains to a cash account for Dragonfly costs in 2018.

The assets liquidated would be placed in a specifically designated Reserve Fund solely for Dragonfly costs. Please note – Dragonfly is a fully funded project (i.e.: we have the cash and investments to pay for the entire project budget). The liquidation of the asset gains to date is to take advantage of the gains (i.e.: realize them) and have ready cash on hand for Dragonfly expenses.

OAB Motion 1:

The OAB supports the recommendation to have a Council motion for the liquidation of up to $115,000.00 of Long Term Investment capital gains and that Council authorizes the CAO in consultation with the CEO, to liquidate assets in the amount of up to $115,000 to be transferred to the Dragonfly fund.

OAB Motion 2:

The OAB supports the recommendation to have a Council motion for the transfer of up to $350,000.00 of the 2017 year‐end cash surplus from undefined reserves to the Dragonfly project reserve and that Council authorizes the CAO in consultation with the CEO to use the transferred funds for Dragonfly project activities only.

STRATEGIC PLAN 2014‐2019

I. VISION

Advancing the engineering and applied science technology profession in Ontario, in Canada and world‐wide

II. MISSION

OACETT is Ontario’s independent certifying body for engineering and applied science technicians and technologists. The Association provides exceptional member certification, benefits and services. In so doing, OACETT meets the needs of its members, creates a visible and globally‐recognized professional standard, and serves the public interest.

1 FINAL VERSION – edits endorsed by Steering Committee – Oct 8, 2013 Approved by Council November 22‐23, 2013 – Motion # 5395 Page 2 of 7

III. PLANNING CONTEXT OACETT displays success and strength as an association – a financially sound organization led by over 350 volunteers representing more than 24,000 members employed in over 6,000 organizations. The designations provided through the Association are recognized and valued by business, industry and the public sector. Productive strategic relationships with government, other associations, colleges and industry acknowledge OACETT’s leadership in the engineering and applied science technology profession. These achievements over the decades demonstrate OACETT’s important role in responding to and representing their members’ profession. OACETT’s Council and Senior Staff are committed to building on that success by enhancing and growing the Association. Through the strategic planning process, several significant trends and issues have been identified. Both local and global, with some specific to the profession, they signal changes and opportunities on OACETT’s horizon.

Trends and Issues Implications Global pressures on Canadian industry 1. Continued focus on Canada’s ability . Persistent focus on innovation and innovation lag in Canadian to be globally competitive, business and industry especially regarding human capital . Ongoing emphasis on the need for continuous learning / work‐ 2. Growing need to address national integrated learning within the labour force and international labour market . Shifts in world economic power / influence (e.g., BRICS nations) mobility . Impact of temporary foreign workers and broader immigration 3. Increased use of international policy shifts workers . Decline in Ontario’s economic strength with a shift of Canada’s economic focus to the West ‘Fluid’ professional environment 4. Consider evolving profession and . Continuing pressure to define and clarify work done by professional roles/relationships

Emergence of national and global influences re: professional and the need to establish OACETT certification (both within our professions and beyond) credentials as valuable . Increased presence of third‐party and/or independent qualifications

These trends and issues create circumstances over which the Association has little direct control. However, by identifying them and considering their potential effects, OACETT has laid the groundwork to mitigate the susceptibility to decline that some long‐standing organizations face when confronted with unforeseen impacts. The Association has used its understanding of the external environment, coupled with an assessment of Association strengths and vulnerabilities, to cultivate a responsive, proactive mindset among the volunteer and administrative leadership. This, in turn, has contributed to the core content of Strategic Plan 2014‐2019. In fact, the implications cited in the preceding chart are the drivers of the plan’s Strategic Priorities and Action Objectives. Through the strategic planning process, the Association has enhanced its capacity for strategic thinking – a capacity that will facilitate its ability to build on past success to ensure ongoing progress for OACETT and those it serves.

3 FINAL VERSION – edits endorsed by Steering Committee – Oct 8, 2013 Approved by Council November 22‐23, 2013 – Motion # 5395 Page 4 of 7

IV. STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

The core of OACETT’s purpose is, through registration and certification processes, to grant membership to those who meet the standards of the Association. Beyond the symbolic importance of a level of professional achievement, designations granted by OACETT hold value for members only in as much as the designations are known, understood and valued by key stakeholders (e.g., employers, government ministries and agencies) and, thus, bring some benefit to those holding the designations. This logic model has been coupled with several of the trends already cited (regarding continuous learning and professional development) as the impetus for the strategic direction and priorities in Strategic Plan 2014‐2019. Specifically, as OACETT looks ahead over the next 5 years and beyond, the Association recognizes that key stakeholders not only need to be aware of and value what OACETT does but also develop a greater understanding of why certification and professional development add value to those individuals who achieve them and … perhaps more importantly … to the industries and organizations in which they work.

2. Maintain excellent certification processes, along with continued efforts to increase the overall proportion of certified members

3. Use accreditation to expand the reach of the association and add value to the membership and the profession

4. Continue and strengthen OACETT’s national and international focus and partnerships with other associations, educational institutions and industry

5 FINAL VERSION – edits endorsed by Steering Committee – Oct 8, 2013 Approved by Council November 22‐23, 2013 – Motion # 5395 Page 6 of 7

Strategic Priority: Communication & Outreach

OACETT must have a thorough and considered approach to developing partnerships and relationships. In addition, OACETT requires a comprehensive communication plan to reach target audiences using a variety of methods and channels.

Terms of Reference for OACETT’s Strategic Plan Review

Need for Action:

OACETT’s existing Strategic Plan is nearing the end of its five‐year planning horizon (2014‐19). It’s time to review the Plan and offer fresh perspectives for advancing the Association and profession. Planning helps assure that an organization remains relevant and responsive to the needs of its community (members, public, stakeholders) and contributes to organizational stability. It provides a basis for monitoring progress, and for assessing results and impact. It facilitates new program development. It enables an organization to look into the future in an orderly and systematic way.

Governing Principles for Conducting the Review:

1. Balanced input and engagement of all stakeholders, 2. Thoughtful consideration and prioritization, 3. Recommend to Council a course of action, including strategic priorities that will transform the organization as desired, 4. Highly focused action on a few key strategic initiatives in support of that course and direction, and 5. Production of a short, concise Strategic Planning document with vision and mission statements, planning context, strategic priorities, action objectives and success benchmarks.

Developing OACETT’s Strategic Plan should be a process that provides for the following:

Assess the impact and implementation of the existing strategic plan with comments about what worked and what could be improved upon and what should be carried over to the next plan.

Identify broad trends, issues and implications including global developments, professional environment, technologies, industry demands, social governance, changing demographics, changing members’ needs and expectations.

Engagement and Input solicited from all stakeholders (e.g.: Council, staff, committees, chapters, members, other associations, government) through whatever means determined by the Task Group. Conduct an analysis of OACETT and the current strategic plan for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) with the goal to capitalize on strengths, buttress weaknesses, capitalize on opportunities and recognize threats. (This is the most time consuming aspect of the review).

Weigh/Prioritize a range of Strategic Priorities and action objectives for each to guide Council in its consideration, approval and implementation of the Strategic Plan.

Describe what success will look like in five years.

Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists Nominating Committee Report November 24, 2017 REPORT TO COUNCIL

The Nominating Committee has been busy since our last meeting discussing and developing recommendations to Council for the following:

1) On Line Election Provider: We have used a company called E-Vote in the past and both us and the Professional Engineers of Ontario had serious issues with their data integrity. In OACETT’s case a number of members received invitations to participate in APEGA’s election process. The PEO had serious enough issues that they had to extend their deadline to vote and hold special executive meetings to resolve.

PEO made the decision to single source to a Clearvote.ca, who currently manage the online election process for the Maritime Professional Engineering Associations.

Your Nominating Committee considered: a) Single source to Clearvote b) Generate full RFP in 2018 c) Wait and discuss with PEO their experience with Clearvote The Nominating Committee made the decision to wait and see what the PEO experience is, investigate the costs of doing an online vote and if the value is not significant consider recommending single sourcing to Council during May AGM.

2) TAC Representative Job Description: The Nominating Committee reviewed the TAC By- Law’s and OACETT’s By-Law 19 to draft the attached job description for the TAC Director OACETT as a constituent member of TAC can nominate. It was the Nominating Committee’s recommendation that this be a nominated, and not elected position to ensure that Council puts forth the best person who has the skills and experience to represent us at the National Table.

It’s the Nominating Committee’s plan that if the Job Description is reviewed during the Council meeting that we would put forth a call for nominations and have a potential candidate for Council’s approval during the February Council Meeting. This person would then begin their term at the next TAC AGM which is held between April and June.

The Nominating Committee is requesting Council approve the TAC Board Member Job description as presented/amended and look forward to your dialogue on this topic.

Respectfully Submitted,

Bob van den Berg, C.E.T. Chair, Nominating Committee

OACETT On Line Election Process Provider Notes for Discussion:

Over the last number of years OACETT has utilized a company known as Evote.ca, http://e‐vote.ca/. From their website:

Evote.ca provides online voting and election management services, from end to end assistance to simply enabling your vote via our software and infrastructure.

Together with Everyone Counts, Evote.ca helps boards of directors, corporations, associations, unions, non- profits, universities and government realize the benefits of voting online.

The system is Linux based, auditable and verifiable and has provided online elections and surveys since 1995 to millions of voters in Canada, Australia, the US and UK.

It's a secure, scalable, cost effective solution for organizations large and small that also increases turnout! We securely manage your electronic elections and deliver fast, accurate, auditable results. Outsourced online elections made easy, secure and cost effective.

We offer online voting as well as paper ballot and telephone hybrid voting. We also provide development, support and returning officer services, data collection, analysis and custom reporting.

Last year there were issues with evote.ca that OACETT experienced including an instance were members were invited to participate in APEGA’s election. The PEO also had several serious issues with them that required them to extend their election period to ensure that their elections were fair and transparent.

The PEO have selected a company called Clear Picture. http://www.clearpicture.com/ is there website. I’ve had a chance to review and noticed that they currently don’t list electronic voting as one of their services but they have been providing electronic voting services for the Professional Engineering Associations in the Maritime provinces for a number of years. The PEO have decided to single source their elections with them and will not be using Evote.ca going forward.

Clear Picture is based in Canada with offices in Ottawa and Halifax.

Options for us to consider:

1) Do we want to change our electronic voting provider?

2) If yes do we want to single source from Clear Picture?

3) Consider and have staff generate an RFP from Canadian Companies and then report back to us

4) Wait until PEO Election over in 2018 and get feedback on their experience before we decide on the above?

5) Other idea or suggestion from committee?

Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists

Government Relations Committee

November 2017 REPORT TO COUNCIL Status Report LET Issue The licensed engineering technologist (LET) class of limited licence, recognizes the wider range of professional engineering work that Certified Engineering Technologists, are qualified to perform within a defined scope of practice. The legislative changes also provide for independent practice permitting LET’s to obtain a certificate of authorization to provide these services directly to the public.

OACETT members are embracing this opportunity. However, the historical reference to the term/title “professional engineer” in both the Building Code Act (BCAct) and the Ontario Building Code (OBCode) which is defined as: “the holder of a licence or a temporary licence under the Professional Engineers Act” excludes the limited licence. OACETT, along with PEO, believe that this was an unintended consequence, and that duly qualified limited licence holders should not be barred from providing professional engineering services in this industry because of a title reference.

OACETT and PEO have petitioned the Ministry of the Attorney General to rectify this oversight by changing all references to ‘professional engineer’ within the BCAct and the OBCode , which should be revised to reference ‘PEO licensee’. As well, OACETT sent a letter to the Director, Building Services Transformation – Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing encouraging acceptance of ‘PEO licensee’ which will in turn assist municipalities and their building code officials in their dealings with OACETT members, and specifically, the limited licence holders. These changes will save valuable time for both the building officials and our members in the approval process of their documents and drawings.

Ontario Building Officials Association (OBOA) and OACETT Joint Work Plan

The Ontario Building Officials Association (OBOA) and the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT) are considering a Joint Work Plan Agreement for consideration and support by their respective Councils. This strategic alignment will allow the two associations to agree to collaborate on fostering a greater understanding of the issues facing the building industry in particular and the civil discipline in general, and how best they respond to support the memberships and enhance public safety.

The draft report is now available for your review.

Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists PEO Representative Report November 24, 2017 REPORT TO COUNCIL

 Possible Building Code Changes - On October 27th, Bernard Ennis, José Vera and Sherin Khalil attended a confidential meeting at the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, at which the Ministry provided information regarding proposed changes to the Building Code Act in response to the recommendations from the Belanger Inquiry. Staff from the Ontario Association of Architects also attended. PEO staff provided comments based on work of the PSC subcommittee that produced the new Structural Assessment Guideline. The discussion was very productive and the Ministry was very receptive to working with both PEO and OAA as co-regulators in the development of an integrated approach to dealing with the recommendations that relied on building linkages between the three Acts and related Regulations.

 OPEA promoted in The Globe and Mail: To increase awareness of the 70th anniversary of the Ontario Professional Engineers Awards (OPEA), as well as to promote the engineering profession, PEO produced a two-page spread in today’s edition of The Globe and Mail (Friday, November 3). A copy of this promotional piece is attached for your reference. The 2017 OPEA gala will be held at the Toronto Congress Centre on November 18. Additional information on this year’s gala is available at www.opeawards.ca.

 PIC Task Force Meeting – The Public Information Campaign Task Force held its 7th meeting on October 23 via teleconference. Members reviewed a report from Premise Design Communications that included research highlights from the discovery phase of the project as well as target audience recommendations. Based on its research, Premise has recommended that: the campaign have a phased approach; the first phase of the campaign begin with and focus directly on a segment of the public—employers; the campaign focus on key industries where the P.Eng. designation is relatively unknown or unrecognized; the message framework for employers in Phase 1 focus on the potential value proposition ingenuity, sustainability, excellence, compliance, proof of conscience, and the transition for entry level employees; and the value equation for messaging should be flexible and customizable. Premise will provide an update on its research and proposed next steps at the EXE meeting on October 30 and to Council during the November 16 plenary session. The task force endorsed Premise’s recommendations and will now collaborate with the agency on key message evaluation through an opinion poll(s) in November/December.

 PEAK Presentation - On Wednesday, October 25th, Arden Heerah presented on the PEAK Program to the PEO Hamilton and Brantford Chapters at the McMaster Innovation Park in Hamilton. Attendees appreciated PEO providing insights into the objectives and mechanics of the program. Feedback covered a range of topics, including support for a continuing professional development program.

 OSPE Breaking Barriers for Women in STEM project update - OSPE is continuing to progress on their project to address barriers for women in STEM. PEO is a supporting partner of this initiative along with OACETT and other organizations. OSPE’s Women in STEM project is guided by three leaders – Annette Bergeron, P.Eng., Valerie Davidson, P.Eng., and Kathy Lerette, CET who will participate in Pan-Canadian meetings with other funded organizations to support the advancement of the project. OSPE is currently

developing a website for the “breaking barriers for Women in STEM” project. All their project updates, resources and findings will be posted to this site. Later this month, OSPE will be launching a survey for professionals working in STEM. The purpose will be to gather insights on the barriers women face and what can be done to address them. PEO is being asked to support this by circulating the survey amongst our membership.

 Queen’s Park Day - PEO held its 11th Queen’s Park MPP reception on Wednesday evening. Over 40 MPPs were in attendance throughout the evening from across all three parties, and Premier Wynne herself dropped by for the second year in a row. The Premier’s appearance at an organization’s reception is a rarity and a testament to how popular the PEO reception has become. It was well attended with almost 200 PEO members, invited guests and MPPs. Many compliments were received from MPPs. The Engineering Games were held which pitted three teams, each consisting of a politician, a PEO member, and an engineering student, to create a bridge structure to support a small load. York chapter was recognized for their GLP work with the 2017 GLP Chapter Recognition Certificate, and GLP MPP Recognition Certificates were given this year to MPPs Soo Wong (Liberal), Gila Martow (PC) and Catherine Fife (NDP), for their support of PEO’s GLP activities. The evening presented an important opportunity for PEO members to approach and meet with their members of provincial parliament and to increase the profile of the profession with elected officials.

 Ontario Regulators for Access Consortium (ORAC) Meeting - PEO hosted the ORAC quarterly Meeting on Wednesday, September 27. Michael Price, Deputy Registrar, Licensing and Registration, attended the meeting on behalf of PEO. The recently appointed Ontario Fairness Commissioner Grant Jameson and the new Executive Director Doris Dumais attended the meeting and provided an update on Ontario Fairness Commission (OFC) activities. The OFC will consult with regulators as its moves towards a risk based compliance monitoring process and will be advancing procedures for recognition of foreign trained professionals in Ontario. The OFC will also be releasing its annual report soon with a retrospective review of its first 10 years. Dr. Zubin Austin and Marie Rocchi from the University of Toronto also presented the results of the HIRE-IEHP initiative. The initiative was sponsored by the federal and provincial governments to look at the licensure and employment of internationally educated health professionals. The initiative developed 3 core on-line resources: Practice Readiness e-learning program, Workplace Integration Network on-line courses and Alternative Career programs.

 PEO responds to CBC Diploma Mill Story - PEO issued a news release on Monday in response to a CBC Marketplace investigation which aired last night on the world's largest diploma mill, which revealed many Canadians could be putting their health and well-being in the hands of nurses, engineers, counsellors and other professionals with phony credentials. We took this opportunity to outline: how we protect the public interest by verifying degrees and testing individuals whose credentials are questionable; the resources available to the public to confirm if an individual or company is licensed to practise engineering in Ontario; that the titles "engineer" and "professional engineer" are restricted by law in Ontario; and how the public can contact PEO if they suspect a person or company is practising engineering without a licence. Our statement has been widely circulated on Twitter, including by CBC reporters, and we’ve received notice from another constituent association interested in making a similar announcement in their jurisdiction. A copy of our release can be found at http://peo.on.ca/index.php/ci_id/31550/la_id/1.htm

 Regulation Changes - Academic and Examinations Requirements: Staff held a teleconference with Ontario Fairness Commissioner staff to discuss the policy intents of the Regulation changes approved by Council in March to amend academic requirements (time limits to write the Professional Practice Exam and to keep a file open, Conestoga College’s accreditation, and thesis terminology, and removal of operational details of specified dates for examinations). Ontario Fairness Commissioner staff were satisfied with the policy intents and will be providing formal comments to us soon.

Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists Student Representative Report November 24, 2017 REPORT TO COUNCIL

The fall semester has been a stressful time for students and college faculty alike. As of November 13th classes have been suspended for nearly five weeks due to strike action. Fortunately though, most student activities are continuing on.

The National Engineering Month College Challenge application deadline is approaching quickly. St. Lawrence College has one new and one returning team registered to date. The application deadline has been extended until November 24th, which will hopefully encourage more teams to participate. I’m excited to see the awesome events that happen during NEM 2018 and to see my peers throughout the province share their passion for engineering and technology.

Since the last Council meeting, the Young Professionals Task Force has had an in-person meeting and phone conference. We will be presenting our interim report this Council meeting.

I will be attending an event co-hosted by the Economic Club of Canada and Plan International Canada on November 28. The Economics of Equality: Advancing Women & Girls to Change the World is a “discussion about all that is possible when women and girls have equal opportunity.” I look forward to reporting back to Council on this event at the next meeting.

Respectfully submitted,
