National Engineering Month - March 2025
Each March, the engineering community across Canada celebrates National Engineering Month (NEM). Founded in 1992, NEM is Canada’s largest celebration of engineering excellence. NEM is brought to you by the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers and Engineers Canada.
National Engineering Month celebrates the diversity of thought, opportunities, and people that make up the engineering profession. NEM events are organized and led by volunteers all across Canada, guided by a shared message “there’s a place for you” in engineering and technology.
The goal of the National Engineering Month is to: advance the engineering profession, spark an interest in the next generation of engineering professionals, and celebrate the role that engineers play in society.

Amyloidosis Awareness Month - March 2025
The Canadian Amyloidosis Support Network (CASN) is a federally registered non-profit organization that supports patients and families impacted by amyloidosis. Amyloidosis is a group of diseases caused by the buildup of abnormal proteins in organs and tissues of the body. Left untreated, the disease can result in organ failure and can be fatal.
The goal of CASN is to educate more Canadians about the signs and symptoms of this disease during Amyloidosis Awareness Month in March, and to ensure that more Canadians not only know about this disease, but can also recognize the signs and symptoms of amyloidosis.
