Today, we proudly celebrate the International Day of LGBTQIA+ People in STEM! At WCE, we value the contributions and diversity of LGBTQIA+ individuals who inspire innovation and create a more inclusive world in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. The day aims to raise awareness of the challenges and aspirations of LGBTQIA+ professionals and students, to foster an environment where everyone can thrive. It is important to acknowledge that many LGBTQIA+ individuals in STEM face challenges related to discrimination, bias and barriers to acceptance. In the pursuit of knowledge, science and innovation, diversity plays an important role. Our world has diverse problems therefore, we need diverse people in the landscape of STEM. #InternationalLGBTQIAinSTEMDay #LGBTQIAInConsultingEngineering #DiversityInSTEM #PrideInSTEM #InclusionMatters #WCEVancouver #equitydiversityinclusion #engineering #vancouver #community #volunteering #allyship #selfadvocacy #professionaldevelopment #careergrowth #fun #learning #outreach #mentorship #social

Lest we forget. Today, we pause to remember and honour the brave souls who fought and continue to fight for our freedom and the pursuit of peace. Their sacrifices have shaped the world we live in and ensure the liberties we often take for granted. On this Remembrance Day, let's take a moment to reflect on their courage, dedication, and selflessness. They served so we could live freely. Let's carry their legacy forward by promoting peace, understanding, and unity. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget #Poppies #Remembrance #WeRemember . . . . . . . #WCEVancouver #equitydiversityinclusion

We want to hear from you! We have put together a quick survey to get your thoughts on how we are doing and to learn about your experiences in the consulting engineering industry. We value your opinion, and we are always looking for ways to make our events and content more relevant to you. This survey should take less than 10 minutes to finish and is completely anonymous. To thank you for helping us out, we are giving away a $250 spa gift card or a $50 Starbucks gift card. To enter the draw, all you have to do is complete the survey by November 11th and provide your email address at the end.

We invite you to join us for a spectacular evening of celebration at our Winter Social! Mingle with new and old friends over drinks and food, and commemorate another wonderful year for WCE. The evening will begin with our Annual General Meeting (AGM) to reflect on this past year's success, followed by awarding our scholarship winners, before we mingle the night away. WCE experienced another year of growth and accomplishment in 2024. Throughout this year, we delved into how to navigate microaggressions in our industry, heard from inspiring women on their path to executive leadership, and explored how to lead from our values. We also brushed up on our self-defense, conflict resolution, and networking skills! We met new people through our informal Wednesday meet-ups, and benefited from two wonderful mentorship events. Beyond these significant milestones, we supported our community through collaborations with Impact North Shore, Girl Guides of Canada, and Girls in STEAM. Let’s come together to celebrate the community we have built and create more memories! Thank you to our generous sponsors for the evening, WSP in Canada and Glotman Simpson Consulting Engineers, for making this event possible!

October is celebrated as Women’s History Month in Canada, a vibrant opportunity to honor the incredible women and girls who have shaped our past and continue to enrich our present, making Canada more inclusive and better for everyone. In 1992, the Government of Canada officially recognized October as Women’s History Month, sparking a yearly celebration of the remarkable achievements of women throughout our nation’s history. This year’s theme, "Women at Work: Economic Growth Past, Present and Future," shines a spotlight on the vital contributions women have made to the workforce over the years and underscores their essential role in driving economic innovation and progress that have benefitted all Canadians. Let’s come together to celebrate the women who lead with purpose and inspire future generations of girls to reach for their dreams across every industry, including those seen as non-traditional. Check out this website for more information on some of the notable events and amazing contributions women have made in Canadian history: https://lnkd.in/eZWEd-3p #womenshistorymonth #WCEVancouver #womeninengineering #equitydiversityinclusion #engineering #vancouver #community #volunteering #allyship #selfadvocacy #professionaldevelopment #careergrowth #fun #outreach #mentorship #social #womenempowerment
