Canada’s Top 40 Under 40 Honoree
2019
Présidente
Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec
Kathy Baig's commitment to the profession is not limited to the OIQ (the Order of Engineers of Quebec) and the boards of directors on which she serves (VIA Rail, Engineers Canada and Maison Saint-Gabriel). She also cares a great deal about the contributions of immigrants and women to the profession and in this regard, she has initiated and participated in programs that assist and which encourage their participation in the various fields of engineering. Kathy has often been an inspirational keynote speaker in various events targeting young women to empower them in less traditional fields. She stands out as a result of her incredible ability to rally diverging opinions around common interests and is renowned for her infectious energy. She is also a great leader who has brought about a tremendous change of culture at the OIQ as well as the perception and valorization of engineers, for which she is widely recognized by many stakeholders and organizations. In recognition of her positive influence in her field and her exceptional career, the Federation of Chambers of Commerce of Québec awarded her the Germaine-Gibara Mercury Award for Young Leaders in 2017.
