The booty was given in the form of a cheque at an event organized by OSPE on May 10.<\/p>\n<p>\"We plan to use the money to refund the membership fees of those who signed up for an OPSE student membership,\u00a0which was part of our local membership drive, as well as to fund the newly formed Engineers Without Borders chapter at York,\" said Tim Munsie, who just finished his second year in

<b><\/b>for engineers.<\/p>\n<p>\"PEO is a regulatory board for the government under law, and hence cannot lobby or provide such member services as a primary function,\"\u00a0 said
