.EngiQueers is uniting engineering groups from universities across the country. pridemonth2023
Angela GismondiENGIQUEERS — EngiQueers Canada celebrates, promotes and advocates for diversity and inclusivity in engineering. The organization began in 2013, uniting queer engineering and STEM groups from different university campuses across Canada.
“I didn’t feel like I knew other people like me…Now that I’m older and this is my last year of university I look back at these things and these formative experiences to learn and talk to people and finally be yourself around people who understand what that means. It’s not enough just to be yourself. It’s important to feel validated, to feel that you are a part of something, that there are other people like you.
“In second and third year I got more involved with EngiQueers and I started being active in the community,” Bhuiyan said, adding in third year he became an executive member and in fourth year became president. “The most important thing for me was the sense of community. We’re all engineers, we’re also queer, we’re all working to make a difference inside of our community.”
“We couldn’t do in person events anymore but still all these different EngiQueers chapters found out ways to keep their community alive.”“Now we’re in a new chapter of our organizational history,” Bhuiyan explained. “We want to show our students that we’re here to support them so, we’re doing things like we’re marching in Capital Pride in Ottawa and Montreal Pride but we’re also hosting the next EngiQueers conference which was just announced in Ottawa in January 2024.
