Honorary Members

The first Honorary Members were elected to the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers in 1889. Until 1973, the roll of Honorary Members included members of the Royal Family, Governors General of Canada, politicians, business leaders, Past Presidents of the CSCE and of the Institute, and other distinguished Canadian engineers and scientists.
Since 1975 however, Honorary Members were elected from non-members of the Institute and its Member Societies who had achieved outstanding distinction through service to engineering and the profession of engineering in Canada. There have also been non-engineers elected.
