Our branch organizes social activities, designed to prevent 'brain drain' in our members and to give the student body an opportunity to socialize in a more relaxed atmosphere. The social events that our branch organizes include:

A 'Welcome Back' barbeque held at the beginning of the school year, giving new or returning members the chance to meet with upper years as well as faculty.

Bxxr nights as well as pub crawls with the hope of improving students' spirits
The Billington Cup Pool Tournament, with provides graduating students the chance to seek revenge against professors on the billiards table

We seek to ensure the students find success in their classes and professionally through running tutorials and other events such as:

The organization of midterm and final exam tutorials for second and third year EE/CME classes.
An annual industry tour trip to Edmonton or Calgary
An annual graduation banquet that recognizes the hard work and dedication of our student body
