MPP David Zimmer earns PEO’s President’s Award

TORONTO

Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) will honour MPP David Zimmer, parliamentary assistant to the attorney general, with its President’s Award.

The award recognizes outstanding Canadians who have supported and contributed to advancing the engineering profession in Ontario.

“Through his background in law, David entered public life in 2003 with an appreciation for the value of self-regulated professions,” PEO president Walter Bilanski said in a statement.

“Now, through his work in the attorney general’s office, he has demonstrated a fierce commitment to ensuring that his Queen’s Park colleagues continue to recognize and support PEO’s policy direction and regulatory mandate.”

The presentation will be held in conjunction with PEO’s annual general meeting May 9 to 10.

“As the point person in the Ontario government for several of the major professions, David has helped to build important relationships for PEO,” added association CEO/registrar Kim Allen.

PEO presented its inaugural President’s Award to Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion in 2007.
