Anthony Sgro (CivE 1T2+PEY, MEng 1T4) P.Eng., was named Mentor of the Year, a recognition that carries particular meaning given his own history with the program.

Sgro completed his PEY Co-op in 2011 at Arcadis, formerly IBI Group, where he has since built a career spanning more than 14 years, leading projects and providing consulting and engineering oversight across toll and revenue systems.

For more than eight years, he has led the hiring and management of PEY Co-op students on his team, driven by a passion for student development and career growth.
