The Winnipeg Branch is made up of power engineers and related professionals. We have representation on the national level along with representatives on various advisory committees including Red River College and the Power Engineers Advisory Board.

We have monthly meetings from September through May, which have an educational component together with discussions on legislation, employment, and other topics related to the power engineer. We often have plant tours and in December and May we have dinner meetings. The spring has normally been the time for the Golf Tournament with all levels of golfers welcome. There is a newsletter, The IPE Bulletin, which is mailed to all members.
