In June of 2013, 5 McMaster Engineering students attended the Toronto Pride parade as spectators. They adorned the school colours, and were excited to be representing Mac Eng at such a

                                                 large event. As they were watching the

                                                 parade, they were startled and excited

                                                 to see 3 Engineering universities march

                                                 proudly in the parade! This sparked

                                                 investigation into the concept of a

                                                 2SLGBTQIA+ engineering club - and

                                                 within the year EngiQueers was founded. Our founder, Vanessa Raponi, created the club in 2013 which later inspired the creation of EngiQueers Canada, an organization which encompasses other queer engineering clubs across the country.
