The
Gold Medal

The premier award of the association, the Gold Medal recognizes conscientious commitment to public service, technical excellence and outstanding professional leadership.

The premier award of the profession is the Gold Medal, which is awarded only when there is an outstanding candidate. No more than one Gold Medal is awarded each year. It is given to an association member who is recognized widely as a distinguished practitioner of the profession and has rendered outstanding public service in other fields on a federal or provincial basis. The recipient should be recognized by the public as a professional engineer and a dedicated public servant, who has made significant sacrifices of time and effort to benefit society.
