On March 1, 2007, about 400 alumni and special guests celebrated the 50th anniversary of Waterloo Engineering at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto. Everyone in attendance braved the harsh winter storm that hit that day to be at the event, however not everyone could come due to the weather as attendance was expected to exceed 550 guests. The event was a fabulous success - thank you for your support!
