You can log in at 9:45 AM (12:45 PM Montreal) to check connection and say hello.All IEEE members are welcome, especially those Life Members that don’t have a local Affinity Group. There was no speaker for last month, busy with Christmas. We are looking for speakers for the rest of the year, contact Carl Zanon if interested. Speaker(s): Glen Fox, Agenda: In the 1940s, the Alberta government asked the Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs) to bring power to rural Alberta. The IOUs declined, citing cost as a factor. With this reality, Alberta farmers decided to step up and formed co-operatives, also known as Rural Electrification Associations (REAs), to bring electricity to rural Alberta.
