Toronto East Chapter enjoyed four events from October to December 2023 starting with:

An outreach presentation on October 5, 2023 organized by the College & Community Partnership department at OACETT and our chapter at Centennial College, Morningside Campus. The presentation demonstrated the benefits of being certified, and how students can benefit from getting involved with the organization and chapter.
Our chapter sponsored a 7 hour in-person CPD seminar at Humber College on November 17, 2023. The seminar title was " Protecting GPS with Resilient PNT Solutions." The Barrett Centre of Technology at Humber College organized this event with the National Association of Broadcasters.
The third event was a 2-hours CPD-approved tour of Toronto Transportation Control Centre on November 21, 2023. The event was sponsored by our chapter. The tour was conducted by Mr. Brian Fu, P.Eng, a senior engineer at the Traffic Management Transportation Services at the City of Toronto. The tour provided an overview of how the traffic flow is managed and controlled within the city of Toronto, including the monitoring of the highway cameras.
