Welcome to STLE Toronto Section A message from the Chair, 2026 -27

Whether you are a seasoned lubrication engineer, an industry newcomer, or simply passionate about tribology, and regardless of where in the world you are based, you have found the right community. The STLE Toronto Section bridges the gap between knowledge centres; universities, colleges, and suppliers,  and the professionals who put that knowledge to work. Our door is open to anyone who shares a passion for lubrication and tribology.

Connected to What Matters

We have built strong ties with institutions like Toronto Metropolitan University and Ontario Tech, and are expanding to the University of Toronto, York University, and colleges across the GTA. Through collaborations with ASHRAE, SAE, and PEMAC, we continue to broaden our reach and enrich our programming.

Every month, we host hybrid and online technical meetings featuring expert speakers and open peer discussion, a consistent way to stay current and grow your network, wherever you are joining from.

Education That Makes a Difference

Our fall and spring workshops deliver practical, cost-saving knowledge you can apply directly in your organization. For ongoing development, STLE’s certification programs — CLS, OMA I & II, and CMFS — along with the TLT magazine and webinar library, support your career at every stage.

Where the Industry Is Heading

We are developing sessions on emerging topics; including AI in lubrication and tribology, immersion cooling fluids, and other innovations shaping our field’s future.

Building Your Career

New to Canada? Our Newcomer Program is here to help you find your footing; connecting you with the right people and opportunities in the local market.
