brought under the Professional Engineers Act against Robin Scott Rice of Maple, Ontario, for misrepresenting himself as a professional engineer.

employers in the Vaughan and Pickering areas.

PEO on the uncontested application.

engineer” and the abbreviated title “P.Eng.”
In addition, Rice was ordered to:
refrain from engaging in or holding himself out as engaging
in the business of providing to the public in Ontario services
