Electrical Business was happy to be invited to EASA Ontario Chapter’s annual general meeting and tradeshow this month.

Electrical Business’ editor and associate editor, Anthony Capkun and Alyssa Dalton, checked out Acklands-Grainger’s annual “The Works” MRO & Safety Show at the Toronto Congress Centre, and we were impressed with the great turnout of both suppliers and delegates. We Tweeted live from the event, and will be presenting a video soon. Meantime, check out some of our photos from the event. (Photos A. Capkun)

Truly a world-class event!
