Bill Waiser will deliver an enlightening lecture in the Synchrotron (a.k.a. Canadian Light Source) "Light Lectures" series on Monday October 18th at 7:30 in the STM Auditorium. In "Lighting Up Saskatchewan: An Electrifying History", Bill recounts that former Saskatchewan premier Tommy Douglas said his greatest accomplishment could easily be seen from an airplane at night – the electrification of Saskatchewan. But how did Saskatchewan rural residents cope until power lines found their way to even the most remote villages and farmyards? Bill will explain all. Everyone welcome. Reception to follow.
