The Canadian Society for Civil Engineering produces print publications, a web site and programs for oral history; places historical plaques on railway trestles, bridges and canals; and maintains a recognition program for members who contribute to the promotion and preservation of engineering's past.
The National History Committee of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering’s mandate:
"To record and preserve whatever tangible evidence remains of the significant works of earlier generations of Civil Engineers and through suitable publications and publicity to make the general public and even engineers themselves, more aware of the importance of Civil Engineering in the historic development and welfare of Canada."
