EBMag is back from CanSIA (Canadian Solar Industries Association)'s eventful Solar Ontario Conference in London, Ont. This year's two-day event doubled in size from last year - pulling 100 booths and 1000 attendees. This gallery contains photos from the opening reception, panel speakers, and the tradeshow floor.

EBMag had the opportunity to pop in on the grand opening of Chatsworth Products Inc.’s (CPI) new Canadian sales office & product showroom—the company’s first solid footprint in Canada. As the banner reads: “CPI Enters the Great White North”.

EBMag just returned from the Ontario Electrical League’s (OEL’s) Electrical Industry Conference in Ottawa, and what an occasion! This year marks the association’s 90th anniversary, which started January 11, 1922, as the Electric Service League of Ontario.

May 7, 2012 - After a long week at the office, don't we all need a trip to the racetracks? Last Friday, Ontario Energy Network (OEN) held its annual Spring Networking Event at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ont., and EBMag's associate editor Alyssa Dalton was there to join in the festivities. The event pulled a great turnout and capped off with a raffle draw. (Photos A. Dalton.)

May 3, 2012 - EBMag was pleased to attend a National Electrical Safety Summit hosted by ESFi (Electrical Safety Foundation International) Canada. The purpose of the event? “Our first major initiative is to bring together thought leaders in our industry to discuss challenges and opportunities for improving electrical safety in Canada.”

May 3, 2012 - EBMag was pleased to attend the grand re-opening of Nedco’s Keaton Crescent branch counter. The event also hosted a packed BBQ in support of “Hungry for Change”—an ongoing campaign driven by Canada’s electrical industry that raises funds to feed vulnerable children.

"Good safety is good business" – that's one of the key takeaways EBMag's associate editor Alyssa Dalton picked up from Partners in Prevention 2012, the self-proclaimed largest health and safety show in Canada. The show ran from May 1-2 in Mississauga, Ont., and drew out a strong turnout from the electrical industry, including support from ESA (Electrical Safety Authority), CSA (Canadian Standards Association) and IHSA (Infrastructure Health & Safety Association). Couldn't make it? This gallery contains photos from the tradeshow floor. (Photos. A. Dalton.)

BICSI—an association supporting the information technology systems (ITS) industry—just concluded its Canadian Conference & Exhibition in Niagara Falls, Ont.

April 30, 2012 - Electrical Business was honoured to be the only Canadian media to attend Caterpillar's exclusive press summit in Lafayette, Ind., last week, where associate editor Alyssa Dalton scored a sneak-peek at the C175-20 diesel genset, which launches today. While there, she also toured the 1.3-million-sf. Lafayette plant facility – the route taken ended up being 3 miles, or almost 5 kilometres, long!
