SFPE Announces Formation of SFPE Canada to Advance Fire Protection Engineering Nationwide

The Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE), the global professional society for fire protection and fire safety engineering, proudly announces the creation of SFPE Canada/Association des ingenieurs enprotection incendie Canada — a new legal entity dedicated to expanding support, collaboration, and professional growth opportunities for fire protection engineers across Canada. 

SFPE Canada will operate similarly to SFPE Europe, focusing on advancing the practice of fire protection engineering, facilitating education and training, promoting the development and adoption of technical standards, and providing a forum for collaboration within the Canadian fire engineering community. 

“We are thrilled to announce the launch of SFPE Canada as part of our ongoing commitment to strengthen and expand the global fire protection engineering community,” said Chris Jelenewicz, PE, FSFPE, CEO of SFPE. “SFPE Canada will serve as a vital platform for professionals throughout Canada to engage with SFPE’s resources, events, and initiatives, while also addressing regional needs and priorities.” 

“The creation of SFPE Canada marks a major milestone for fire protection engineering across the country,” said Shaun Kelly, P.Eng., IntPE, SFPE Director at Large. “It will offer new opportunities for SFPE Canadian Chapters and fire protection engineers in Canada to connect, collaborate, and contribute to advancing fire protection engineering best practices and educating the fire safety community nationally.  We are excited to build a vibrant community for fire protection engineers to engage, and build an organization that will serve as a united voice for fire protection engineers at a national level.”

“This is an incredibly exciting time for Canada with one unified voice representing Fire Protection Engineers across Canada.” said Kieran Ager, P.Eng, CEng, PMSFPE, chair of SFPE Canada Steering Committee. “We can only hope to aspire to the leadership and success exhibited by other established groups (such as SFPE Europe) in advancing fire safety. Establishing SFPE Canada could not be timelier with meeting the challenges and opportunities faced within the Canadian built environment.” 

SFPE Canada will collaborate closely with SFPE headquarters and Canadian SFPE Chapters, supporting professional development, research, and education initiatives tailored to the Canadian context. SFPE Canada will also work with government agencies, industry, academia, and other stakeholders to advocate for the critical role of fire protection engineering in safeguarding people, property, and the environment. 

Key activities and benefits of SFPE Canada will include the following: 

  • Hosting regional events, conferences, and symposia tailored to Canadian fire protection challenges and innovation. 

  • Offering localized professional development opportunities, training, and credentialing support. 

  • Expanding research and technical projects in collaboration with Canadian institutions and industry partners. 

  • Supporting Canadian representation and participation in SFPE’s global initiatives, technical committees, and leadership. 

The creation of SFPE Canada follows the success of SFPE Europe, established in 2019, which has provided a strong regional hub for advancing fire protection engineering across Europe. 

More details on upcoming SFPE Canada programs, leadership, and membership opportunities will be announced in the coming months.
