On a weekly basis, the CAE compiles news of interest to the organization and its members, and makes it publicly available on our website. The CAE works to highlight emerging issues in which engineering has a role as well as promote recognition of engineering excellence and innovation.
Week of the White Rose
The Week of the White Rose is an annual fundraiser by Polytechnique Montréal to benefit their science camp by giving girls from disadvantaged communities the opportunity to take part in science awareness and activities. The fundraiser is in commemoration of the tragic events of December 6, 1989 that took the lives of 14 people – 13 students and a Polytechnique employee.
