  Partial excerpt of the EIC citation.....

  "Mr. Jin is a graduate of Memorial University with an engineering career covering design, construction and rehabilitation of civil/structural projects. He has provided tireless and dedicated leadership to the development of the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers for Newfoundland, and has developed continuing education, membership and fund raising concepts adopted at the national level of CSCE. The development of CSCE in Newfoundland and Labrador owes much to the dedication, enthusiasm and commitment of Gordon Jin. Similarly he has been active with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Newfoundland as a volunteer on numerous committees, with particular reference to aiding and developing students and young engineers and Engineers-in-Training...... Gordon Jin truly represents the ideal of the CP Medal recipient for service and leadership in the branch and regional levels of the EIC and its constituent societies."
