Who We Are
The Hungarian Canadian Engineers' Association (Kanadai Magyar Mérnökök Egyesülete — KMME) was formed in Toronto in 1953 when a few founding members gathered to exchange ideas on how to assimilate to their new professional environment in Canada. A similar group was formed in Montreal in 1956, followed by other branches across Canada.
A Federal Charter was granted in 1958 to the "Hungarian Canadian Engineers' Association," establishing the organization on a national footing and confirming its role in supporting Hungarian-Canadian professionals.
The initial purpose of the Association was to assist immigrating engineers of Hungarian origin in adapting to Canadian practice and registration with Provincial Engineers Associations, thus promoting their integration into Canadian society. Over the decades, this mission has expanded to encompass a broader mandate: providing a social platform for Hungarian professionals through regularly held events in-person and online, and offering technical presentations and discussions of current interest showcasing the latest advancements in a broad range of engineering and natural sciences topics.
