== CDE 2016: Montreal ==
As Canada’s second largest city, Montreal serves as a great location for CDE as it presents great cultural diversity and is a growing hub for engineering and innovation. Planned day and night activities throughout the conference will allow delegates to experience firsthand the spirit of the city. McGill’s excellent academic reputation is topped only by its diverse and passionate student body from all walks of life and every corner of the world. CDE 2016 will unite these perspectives with the goal of promoting excellence, diversity, and inclusion in the field of engineering in Canada -- and throughout the world.
===The Theme===
This year's conference theme is '''Building Momentum for Change'''. During our time at the conference, we intend to build upon the current momentum of positive change that continues to make engineering an environment conducive to exploration and creativity.<br>
Our mission is to ''Have every delegate understand and appreciate diversity as well as develop the tools, resources, and motivation to implement change in their engineering community.''
===Schedule===
CDE 2016 will be taking place from Friday, November 18-20. Detailed information can be [http://2016.cde.cfes.ca/schedule.html found here]. The conference itself is comprised of a variety of workshops (such as anti-opression,inclusivity, and more), self care activities, and a host of keynote speakers.

A medium sized city, Waterloo, Ontario is home to two universities, Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Waterloo, as well as Conestoga College, Ontario’s engineering- accredited college. It is also home to a growing tech industry that thrives off the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit boasted by the University of Waterloo.<br>
The University of Waterloo was founded in 1957 to focus on cooperative education in applied science education, and it now hosts the largest undergraduate cooperative education program in the world. The university has over 30 000 students enrolled in 6 faculties across 10 campuses. Home to a vibrant campus community that is truly representative of the Canadian cultural mosaic, the University of Waterloo an ideal host for the first Conference on Diversity in Engineering.<br>
