Welcome From The Chapter President
Welcome to the Ottawa Valley Chapter of ASHRAE!
We will continue our tradition of meeting on the third Tuesday of the month from September to May (excluding December). Our monthly dinner meetings typically consist of a social gathering starting at 5:30pm, dinner at 6:30pm, and the featured presentation immediately after to round out the evening.
To welcome everyone back from the summer break, we will host our September meeting at the Marconi Centre on Baseline Road. The venue promises a similar experience to our previous venue, Centurion. I hope to see you all there!
Please look out for announcements from the leadership team on various platforms: our website, social media, email, and the Capital Communique.
In case you are not yet a member, consider signing up to enjoy the benefits. The cost of a Chapter Membership is $75.00 and students can join for FREE.
I look forward to seeing you at our chapter meetings!
