Building community
Upcoming events.
Vancouver Island Engineering Society (VIES) hosts monthly virtual talks on a variety of engineering topics. During our event season, which typically runs from October to June, we bring together engineers and scientists doing ground breaking work on the Island and around the province.
In addition to virtual events, we also organize in person events such as lectures and tours.
These talks are hosted in collaboration with Engineers and Geoscientists BC (EGBC) and can be used to help members meet their continuing education requirements.
